6.1 Hemi 69 Barracuda Fastback Father Son Project
I'm sure it must just be me...
Man I sure struggled trying to figure out how to put the glove box door and hinge back together in the dash...
Then when I finally got it, couldn't figure out why I struggled with it so much.
Anyway, it's done.
Fit the Dash frame in place and the Classic Auto Air Heater/AC Box is mocked up in place.
Locating the holes for the air box, drilling and then blind mating through the firewall... harder than it sounds.
Might slot the firewall holes a bit to give some room for adjustment. I fastened bolts to the air box and pushed them through the firewall. Secured with washer and nuts. One hole in the engine bay and 2 are in the inner fender well.
The box attaches with two brackets attached to the box. the right side has 2 bolts and the left side only 1.
It's a pretty big box but not very heavy. The 2 Metal mounting brackets are attached to the box with 4 screws.
Little by little. Not a lot of progress but it all has to get done.
Ididit tilt steering column arrived today. :)
Still need the EPAS kit, then can start work on the steering.
Will have to cut the steering column down to attach the EPAS electric motor and figure out mounting the column with the motor under the dash.
May try to graft the old column bracket to the new column if it will work.
