Several things done since my last post.

I mocked up the A/C evaporator case for a test fit with that later style evaporator core I bought. No good, the accumulator wouldn't clear the inner fender.



I then did a lot of studying of other newer style cores that might fit. It took me a while but I found a perfect fit for a core for a Chevy van application. It's a Four Seasons 54281 and has the same sized core as the original GTO core with an outlet that will allow an accumulator to clear perfectly.



My original squirrel cage fan was rusted badly so I bought a used original from Paul (68gtoMN). It was perfect and just needed to be blasted and painted. I mated it to a new blower motor from Napa.



Here's the case mounted permanently:



I changed the way the factory did the ground wire for the blower motor. I used 10 ga. wire and connected it to rivet nuts I installed.



I installed the upper dash insulation, Y defrost duct (also acquired from Paul as my original was disintegrated), accelerator pedal, brake pedal assembly and e-brake assembly.





I also installed the wiper transmission, new wiper motor and washer pump and new power brake booster.



Reinstalled the original data plate:



Here's a photo of the Lokar throttle cable:



It worked out perfectly with the original accelerator pedal rod arm. I just had to modify the connection at the top as you can see here:



Today I installed the tail light assemblies. I'm about ready now to see how well the new rear bumper from Ames will fit.
