Project "Chihuahua" '65 Formula S Restoration "Estilo Mexicano"
Update: Just a baby step today. Installed the repro (part #DV3) defroster vents. The metal speed nuts supplied use a 1/2" socket. The nuts didn't seem to want to spin onto the plastic posts very easily, so I did not spin them all the way down. Regardless, I don't expect the vents to jump out anytime soon. I cleaned up the metal dash and applied a liquid spray wax and used some upholstery spray cleaner on the dash pad beforehand. The original vents were a brown color and had turned almost into dust.
