[Nicks67GTO]

Well a bit of an update....

Not too much has gone on but i'm really sick and bored out of my mind.... so here goes. Its February, the actual temp was -24 this morning and I don't have a heated garage so nothing is getting done. I do however have some time off in March where i'm going to get a bunch of stuff done.

I tried my best to make the stock dash, I talked about above, work with a cleaning and painting. It looked horrible. That was a complete failure. I'm not sure if I just couldn't get all the contamination/old armorall off the dash but it just looked horrible. So for now all of this is going to go behind my current dash that's in the car. Its not in bad shape but it needs redone. Ames sells a re-pop dash that's supposed to be really nice but they are off like a 1/16" and they don't have the nice stain-able wooden insert that fits the AC cars yet. They said this summer it should be available. I'm not going to hold my breath so ill just live with the 48 year old stocker for now.

I am starting to get some parts in the mail though and I also got a text today from Jim @ GMtilt.com {BirdsandBowties on here} and hes starting on my rebuilt tilt conversion steering column so that's cool. I'm looking forward to getting that.

Then this showed up in the mail a few hours ago!!.....Gen IV Vintage Air

Nick, The repop dash that AMES sells is a very good part. I have one...Pete Serio built my gauges, and I used a custom wood inlay that cam e from "Wabbit's Woodworks".........I used the 67 GTO kit from VINTAGE AIR....adapted a non A/C dash to look and function like a factory a/c car...easy to do and works great...over 2 years and about 3000 miles now....Eric
