I welded in sheet metal to fill the holes. The only ones I left were for the master cylinder, steering column, and accelerator pedal.

Nice

Hobby67, That looks great! It looks like you have a heater and AC unit all mounted inside?? How did you do that and what did you use for boxes, hoses, etc?

Chevyfarmer, I used a Vintage Air (Gen II Campac) kit. The evaporator and heater are all in one small unit that fits under dash. Hoses and fittings are part of kit. Just cut hoses to fit and crimp on fittings. Its a little more work than that, but not formidable.
