Re: Vintage A/C dash
I've been waiting to see how this turned out, any pics of the engine bay portion of the install? I'm ready to do the same thing as soon as I can. I'm jealous! Are you going to the Conroe swap meet? I' d like to see this in person.

I really have no idea why this one part hasn't been reproduced by anyone over the years. It's probably one of the most desirable option pieces, and it doesn't seem as though it would be terribly difficult to re-manufacture.

Re: Vintage A/C dash
looks really good!...some of the custom made panels below the dash with mounted vents look nice as well, but i like the fact that yours has more of a factory look...just not sure i'd want to drill holes into the dash for the vents...but it looks clean...nice work

Re: Vintage A/C dash
If your looking to re-chrome your vent balls, ChromeTechUSA did a good job on mine for about $50. That didn't include the center vent.

Is the Vintage A/C controlled by the original sliders? How well does the heat work on that unit? It looks really good.

Re: Vintage A/C dash
I really like the way this turned out. I'm thinking of something similar for my pickup to get rid of the big clunky factory AC/Heater units. Do you have any photos of the engine compartment side of the firewall?

Re: Vintage A/C dash
I thought about going to the swap meet in Conroe. The problem is I am too broke to buy anything.
