65 Barracuda daily driver
Two little things that did:
1. I installed a tach to be able to set the idle correctly and really just out of curiosity. It's not that great to see while driving, but I also wanted to keep it out of sight to keep a more stock look.
2. I had built these speaker "cabinets" that are attached to the kick panels a while ago, but then half forgot about them and half wasn't sure how to finish them. I finally installed the driver side. It already sounds great with one speaker. But now I also want to clad the front in carpet. The passenger side will have to wait until I move the a/c an inch or two - they don't quite fit yet, haha. The mock-up seemed to fit, but I have to make some mods to the the a/c mounts etc and hook it up anyways. I have a Vintage air slimline a/c, heat and defrost unit, so I don't need the fresh air box and bulky heater box and figured it was a great place for speakers, haha. I also was too cheap to buy the kick panels with the speaker holes and I thought these actually look more period correct.
Without paint or carpet. The trim is from the original kick panels that are toast.
