65 Dart Wagon Conversion to a Sedan Delivery
I started to assemble the dash today by assembling and adjusting the glove box lid to its hinges with new hardware. I will need new glovebox lid bumpers. The 2 holes seen in the pic is 2 of the 4 holes needed for the plastic maintenance card that’s pop riveted to the lid. Got to find some short rivets due to the depth between the 2 halves. The same hardware is used to secure the trim for the glovebox and end panel trim.
I found in my storage a NOS glovebox lock assembly and installed it.
I also found a NOS lighter assembly which included a NOS bezel that says, what else but LIGHTER.. We don’t smoke so it’ll be used for charging cell phones or whatever will plug in. That goes in the center panel on the right side next to the glovebox. Also in that panel is the passenger and driver’s heated seats controls. In between them are some idiot lights i found online for DOOR AJAR and FASTEN SEATBELTS. On the left is the rear power window switch and bezel
Under the instrument panel area are a pair of momentary switches used to set up the parameters for the instruments in the Dakota Digital cluster.
Still to install are the NOS headlight switch and NOS early A variable speed wiper Switch and glovebox. I decided not to install the instrument cluster until I get the headlight and wiper switches, the center midrange and outer tweeter speakers installed on top along with their wiring and get the dash harness installed and hooked up to the various switches and components. Without the cluster and glove box it gives me the added room to get my hands in there
