Mock-Up: Vintage Air Front Runner (September 24, 2012)

Today I put the Vintage Air Front Runner on the engine.  No need for a lot of comment...pretty self explanatory and the directions were excellent.  Quality of Vintage Air is outstanding!

Dash Modifications, Part 3 (September 23, 2012)

Today I installed the remaining 2 A/C vents in the dash.

I used an air saw to cut these.  If you don't have one, you need one.  Awesome tool!

After the vents were in, I had to relocate the Super Sport emblem on the dash.

I'll weld up the old holes when I finish the dash prep.

Today I also put a coat of paint on the tranny tunnel.  I used a can of Eastwood's rust encapsulator.  This is a really nice epoxy paint.

Dash Modifications, Part 2 (September 20 - 22, 2012)

Today I fabricated a mount for the Vintage Air climate control.  This is the VHX series climate control that matches the instrument cluster.  

I want to recess this into the dash.  I started by slicing a piece of 1" x 1 3/4" tubing lengthwise.  

If you look closely, you can see where I have the rounded outside edges marked.

I used some of the scraps to form up the round ends.  Like the fancy tool? 

Now all that's left is to cut the holes for the 2 inner Clayton Machine Works A/C vents.  There will be one of each side of the HVAC control.
