Bubba HVAC at your service!!!
Since I have decided to keep my Vette, I thought I would tear into the dash and console to get the air working properly. Who would of thought it would look like this
When did Chevrolet start using wood blocks for support?
Closer look:
Must have gotten a good deal on the gorilla glue!! We don't need screws
I can't wait to see what else is hinding around the corner!!

Nice to see Bubba graduated to a higher technical proficiency for the 1981 model year.....on my '71, Bubba used 3 inch wood screws for all the intricate interior fixing........I'm really amazed by the technological advances

At least you didn't have aluminum cans and resin for a driver's side floor board and tranny hump like my Challenger. The bad was it looked solid until you peel off the carpet... At least he used Mountain Dew cans, my favorite drink.

Actually all kidding aside the wood in that position does help with the gap you get around the AC-Heater control.That darn stiff temp.cable pulls on it and warps the control over time.I usually zip tie the cable to the side braces that hold up the center cluster but the bad ones will get a piece of dense foam instead of the wood.C-5 balsa wood-could I charge extra for that?

I have my slack from the RCAs coiled up and resting under the cable.
