I just knew someone was going to catch that.......It's for trolling.
And I caught one.

Did a little work in preparation for the wiring of the dash lights, gauges and switches. I built a bracket that will hold the dash four inches out and 3 inches up so it won't scratch the steering column and I won't have to be fighting with it every step of the way. I made two pcs of ABS channel this time but on my 81 build I just used two pcs of metal studs.

I have done it where I hang it from the ceiling, but I am digging your idea.

It's cause you used a very shiney lure.
Good work on the standoff idea. I need to replace the tach in the 7 and I can't get at it as it is

Where are the holes for the windshield hinges?? I guess the aftermarket cowl you have to drill them yourself? Learn something new every day! I wonder if the replacement tubs are the same way

Not only did it not come with windshield holes, some of the dash board holes were not drilled either. It also took a lot of cutting and cussing to get that damned Juan cowl to fit in the first place. What you going to do when it's the only game in town?

If I go any slower a snail (or Randy) will catch me.
Just got off the phone with Vintage Air. They are great people to do business with and I ordered my entire HVAC system with defrost and a new compressor for under $1550.00. I thought that was a real bargain. In my "81 build I used the mini compact unit and it worked fine but this time I stepped up one size to the Gen 2 compact.

I had enough suspense with the paint job. I'm hoping the trans/transfer case I choose will be my next suspense.
My choice is easier, a th400 (chevy bell housing or a amc bellhousing). I bought them used and I believe both were rebuilt trans. One I think is a auto/manual valve body. I can't remember which is which. I'll probably end up with my mechanic giving them a once over. At least my decision is a decision between the 2.

I had to revise my dash standoff. 4 inches back is ok but 3 inches up is too high for the steering column and the glove box so you can only raise it two inches.
