Thanks guys!! Greg, I believe it is a form of Steampunk...
More blocking, then more epoxy...
Another hurdle in the way of running our wiring under the dash, we need to address the defrost vents for the Vintage Air unit. What they send is cheesy at best, and given they only send two vents where Chevy installed 4, we're going to go another route..

The factory piece does take up quite a bit of real estate, and now interferes with the raingear wiper system and the VA heater box.
So all things considered, we plan on using the original vent top portion and adapt tubing in the equation to make use of a more flexible hose arrangement. The VA has two 2" outlets at the top for defrost, so we will use a 2" tube to feed the center two vents, and 1-1/4" tubes to feed to the outer vents.
Missed some of the details with that one, a bit more for the center vent..
Forming our transition from 2" to 1-1/4".....

As the ports from the VA point almost straight up, the 2" tubes were welded at a slight incline to remove any sharp bends in the supply hose.
.....as a follow-up, our local artist has been working on the other side of the Lennox..

and we have been working with some local hippies to explore other shop shirt options.. This was done on the yellow shop shirt so naturally that base color limits what results you will get...
