Default Dash and carpet done!!!PIX

Spent the last few days fighting with my new interior. Was a bitch with the ducting for the Vintage Air system...

Started out here..





Ducting to defroster vent..





Two relays and 30 amp breaker for the Vintage Air...





Interior starting to come together...yea I know the drivers A/C ducting is a bit "out of place"!

















Next..the rear storage compartment and the seats!!!

Yep. I very well remember posting pics of mine when I was done too. WHAT A JOB! I did the AC system rebuild and reseal at the same time, along with Reflectix under the carpet and new rear speakers for the sound system. I mounted a 500W amp behind the passenger seat where it gets plenty of air. It's vertical but the seat can still go almost all the way back before hitting it. I put reflectix under the rear deck carpet too, and inside the compartments.

The car was down for a week while I did it all, but wow now years later I still love the way it came out. It is worth the effort!!

A lot of work, but looking great! I'm surprised how low the A/C box and fan comes down into the passenger foot well. You'll need to be careful it doesn't get kicked a lot. Bet you can't wait to get her on the road!
