Re: 65Custom Build Thread

I really like your dash modifications. I would like to incorporate that in my Truck.

Re: 65Custom Build Thread

I decided to go with coolc10's reproduction AC dash Vents rather than trying to emulate it, plus it will be more original looking.

Re: 65Custom Build Thread

fitting the AC vent, the template wasn't an exact match so it needed a little adjustment to center it and used the vent itself to mark the mounting holes for the screws.

Also fitted the AC evaporator to make sure the cubby will fit, looks I need to make some adjustments to the cubby depth and one of the defrost ports. I will need to cut off one port and blocked it off to make clearance and use a Y connector for the defrost hose to defrost vents

Re: 65Custom Build Thread

A little update not getting much done things have been busy, but have gotten the backup lights mounted, ground down the welds between the firewall and cowl and have put in all the seat belt mounting, getting down the last few things before the bed and front end go out for sand blasting.

Re: 65Custom Build Thread

Took off all the brackets in prep for installing the new suspension and changed course on the dash extension, changed back to the first idea the filled center wasn't turning out as expected.

Re: 65Custom Build Thread

A little more progress dash extension is mostly complete, a few little touch up things needed the cubbies are not mounted at the top yet, all the welding is finished on the dash extension, assembling the rear suspension spaced the trailing arms back 1" and few other things tidied up. Getting closer to the finish line.

Re: 65Custom Build Thread

AC vents finished, and working on power door locks have a proto type ready, next is to figure out how to get the power door actuator to operate the door lock/un-lock
