Wanted to update all on this. We have been going through some issues with the internal metal on this one it has to be perfect and we can't cast he top with all the pins in due to the angles they are at. Factory had some sexy expansion clips that went in after the fact. We had thought about recreating those, but the answer was much easier and better. We have designed an internal clip for the metal that will allow for the threaded pins to be turned in like a regular screw, due to the tight clearances, it wasn't like we could just weld a nut in place as it was too deep.

What does this mean to you?

It will be possible to actually have the troublesome studs set and to actually screw on the ones needed during the installation. We will provide just like the factory, but you will be able to screw in and out the studs for installation. We have yet to try this as we are finishing the other half of the tool this next week, but it means that the 1st part will be by July 10th.

I wanted to update everyone on this as there have been more than a few that have asked, but I'm finally happy with the solution we have figured out and I'm optimistic that the installation will be MUCH easier.

Mark

Well, I guess I'll need to get off my ass and install an A/C if I'm going to have the dash opened up. So take your time Mark. I need the extra time to gather up a bunch of extra $$$ for Vintage Aire.

Well we have the metal pretty much squared away. We may add some reinforcement in the gauge cluster hood, but need so make sure it will not interfere with the tool. The OEM only has a 1/4" dis rod, and it's at the bend, not in the actual hood itself. While tho is not critical, I keep finding myself in the mode of while I'm doing this, we could improve something else.
We are finalizing the tool itself this next week and will be doing our first pull on the mold.

We should be test fitting this next Saturday. I have a car with everything out so as soon as it's ready we can check fit.

If I'm happy with the product we will start asking for orders with production to start the following week.

I'll be contacting all here in order of the thread.

Thanks to all, lots of pictures to follow soon.

Thanks,
Mark

Not too late. I'm just updating all that are interested. As spelled out in the 1st thread, I will open up the prepurchase phase as soon as I have my 1st article. It will take me about another 2 weeks to make the substructure in quantity and get the quantity of material I will need to make these.
So you should be fine. Even if you miss the 1st level of discount, the 2nd tier will be open for a few weeks I'd imagine.

Once I start shipping the price goes up. After all preorders are filled it goes to full retail.
I will start PMing all as soon as I have my first part in hand. You WILL need to bump this thread to get the code for the GB.

Technically, I'm only making the "late" one, but it should be able to be used on the early also. I will be checking the fit on an early car to see what differences there are if any other than the glove box door and how much that actually affects it.

If you are making early dashes - with the center vent, I want one.

Thanks,
Olin
