QUOTE(Root_Werks @ Sep 11 2025, 11:52 AM)  We couldn't wait for you to finish this one Arne so we picked up this 72': Good for you, Dan. Looks like a nice one, and I figure I won't be done for at least 6 months, maybe 12. Earlier this week I pulled the steering column and dash out, and installed pre-formed firewall insulation. Then I installed the rebuilt heater box, connected the new heater core using molded hoses, and refilled the cooling system. Started and warmed the engine, and tested the heater successfully. After the heater was in place, I spent some time doing final tidying of all the new wiring under the dash. The new fusebox is mounted so that it will protrude into the back of the glovebox, after I cut a hole for it. The only wiring not done yet is the wiper motor, as I want to paint the windshield frame before fishing the wiring through it. As for paint prep, I've started stripping the dash panel to bare metal. I hope to get primer and paint on it over the weekend, but there are other things around here that MUST be done before the weather turns, so the dash work might stretch later into next week.   |
