got the heather mounted under the dash tonight, then I took the old heat control bezel and modified it to hold the electric knobs instead of the sliders, I still need to paint the face of it crinkle black and polish the rest.

fastcam1 · 10-04-2013, 12:50 PM

I'm diggin the control panel looks super smooth almost stock

cstm68 · 10-04-2013, 11:37 PM

finished up the install if the vintage air

Haakon · 10-05-2013, 05:03 AM

Really nice work! The bench seat turned out awesome! How do you like the bags?

cstm68 · 04-23-2014, 01:04 AM

Put a new extang cover on today, this one is not made to tilt up but I have a set of hinges that I think I can make work

cstm68 · 01-11-2017, 08:09 PM

Been awhile since iv posted but I just installed some cupped front control arms!!

smbrouss70 · 01-23-2017, 01:14 PM

Looks good! Is that just a "normal" bag setup with drop spindles and cupped arms? Seems pretty low, is the stock crossmember on the ground now?

**hewittca** · 01-23-2017, 03:17 PM

Looks good! Those cupped arms made a big difference up front. Now you have to get the back down some more

jus2qwk · 01-23-2017, 04:55 PM

I have the same heater and this is what I did for a control panel. cool build

Yeah I have a stock crossmember with upper bag plates, 2.5" drop spindals and the cupped arms. Yes it lays the front crossmember on the ground
