1963 Dodge Dart 270 Convertible for the Wife
Took the Coronet to town to get glass bead media and a battery for the Dart so I can start getting the electrical debugged in the near future! Got home and decided to stay inside today so I worked on the heater box....
Now if I can remember where all this goes..... After 2 AC boxes this thing is dirt simple.. unfortunately it was also in the worse shape of any I have done...
Simple doors all foamed
Run the bead of sealer around where the core goes and in goes the GlenRay rebuild core.
One of the hinges was broke on the vent doors so I ground off the hinge rivet and welded the tab back on. Used a regular rivet just don't tighten it all the way so it can still swing then snap off the rivet pin.
The box was in bad shape where the "J" hooks mount and the door for the vent on the box was broken out.
I cut some reinforcement metal to epoxy in.
Lot of reinforcement, not pretty but it will be strong.
Vent door rivets here, once dry I'll sand it smooth, drill 2 holes and pop rivet it back on.
Nasty stuff.
