Got it bent correct now but look at the bad job I did cutting the center vent out, I cant leave that like that so Im test mounting the VA controller but going to remove it to try to straighten out this crappy cut

Not sure you're gonna get that clean looking. Might have to buy a new bezel.

I think I'll it alone, when I try making things nicer when its out of my Wheelhouse I screw it up badly, the control fits and holes lign up but I still have a small gap at the bottom but another Im going to leave it alone, I think the bottom clips for screws are pushed too far on, guess Ill screw with it next time I come here to get it fitting better

Looks good.

In the last post I made I think I contradicted myself lol Im still going to mess with the screw clip locations...why leave well enough alone the story of my life

My Dad used to say to me "It's a bitch when your job interferes with your personal life". Tell me how much that rings true.....

Nobody's working.... remember? Order anything from amazon lately? What used to be a 1 day delivery is now 3 or more.

IMHO Lazy people really taking advantage of this mess

 

[Shovelrick]

Pecked away at it a little more today and think this is as close to tight between control and dash carrier Im going to get, I can live with it

 

[Shovelrick]

Got the dash gauge carrier, steering column and under dash gauges back together, next will be duct under dash reinstall GB door then under hood stuff

 

[Shovelrick]

Im going to drop the column back down and repaint this, working with this LED light inside the garage it doesn't look this bad but pic shows it looking terrible, Im going to repaint after the ac is finished since I'll probably scratch some thing anyway

 

[Shovelrick]

All the louvers that the ducts attach to are were assembled by either a 4 yr old or someone that badly needed glasses, Im going to reglue these so they dont fall apart later

I'm betting a 4 year old can do better.... I think it's just a lazy worker who makes money by the pieces assembled.

 

[Shovelrick]

I ran the ducts minus Drv side, it would be under the steering column and I really dont see any other way of getting it above the column so Fagetta Bout It! Lol and the center vent would be where my under dash gauges are so just going to tie it up behind the dash and let it blow towards the floor till I figure another option for the gauges...pillar maybe? And this Sure Fit is BS well in my car anyway

 

[Shovelrick]

Going to run main power to the feed side of this aux fuse box, violet wire to Run at Ign switch, Tan to old inst light socket for Def & Heat switches and now I need to come up with a permanent mount for Efans before mounting the condenser PS also this kit that's supposed to have a Binary switch Does Not and I've had the kit roughly 6 months so guessing its to late to complain...but Im going to anyway and see what happens lol

 

[Shovelrick]

Found the Binary switch it was in the cond box
