DASH

Someone had hacked a larger hole in the dash where the radio normally mounted. Since I am going to go with a hidden stereo system then I just patched the open hole.

Some may notice in the lower portion of the center of the dash, I added a small ledge under the lower lip. This area had some rust holes so I cut it out and added this ledge so I could mount A/C controls. I found aftermarket A/C controls in a plastic bracket that mounts under a dash that I could remove the controls and mount directly in this area.

The aftermarket controls have some modern looking knobs (spun aluminum) that I dislike so when I get around to final install then I will try and make some black knobs that match the Choke and Throttle knobs on a stock dash. I might have to invest in a 3D printer if I'm not too broke that late in the program.
