Dan got some of the other project cars moved out of the garage making room for the GT-37 to move into the 'work' bay from the storage side. I decided to remove the A/C system and bought an AGM Ind. AC Delete kit for 68-72 A-Bodies. It comes with a nice fiberglass cover (not ABS plastic) with a new heater core, blower motor, custom cage fan, and sealant for the cover to firewall. It retains the controls function (except A/C of course) and the under dash ductwork and plumbing. We'll be taking pictures of the installation along the way in case anyone is interested in similar conversion. We'll be going through the brakes, suspension, rear end, and new exhaust along with the 455H.O. install with the rebuilt Borg Warner Super T-10 wide ratio 4-spd (2.64 1st gear). I need to order a new headliner kit from Ames and see what I can do with the original door panels. Actually, the passenger side is OK, the drivers panel is ripped at the top along the window, so hopefully we can replace that little section of white vinyl ourselves. We have a new black carpet set for a bench seat car with floor shifter that wasn't used on another A-body project, so it's going in the GT. The newer dash is almost assembled and ready to go in along with a nice older formula wheel to replace the original dry rotted one.
