This will be keeping me busy for a while.
« on: September 13, 2009 - 04:47:54 PM »
I haven’t been around much lately because these are some of what I have been working on.

These and some other items that I am restoring should keep me busy through the fall and winter. I hope to have these ready for the spring time. The Challenger is in line for the body work and paint in the spring and I am hoping that these offerings will help fund some of it.

Thank you  :worshippy  to all that have bought from me in the past and glad that I could help.  :2thumbs:   I am now on my second batch of around fifty dash dimmer switches. Many of the members here helped with supplying their cores on trade to help produce this amount.
 
I’m looking forward to restoring this date coded 70 heater box. It is the nicest one I have to date. There are no cracks or chips on that at all. I did find the correct style rivets and a five split cincher just like the factory did. I have to tear apart the finished one for my car to put the correct rivets on. It will drive me crazy if I don’t.  :pullinghair:   When finished, I’d like to see that 70 heater box find a home in a T/A. It would be even better if it was my T/A!  :smilielol:

Hey  :thumbsup: this does look like a real nice layout and explains where the funding will come from for the Challenger buddy :bananasmi

BUT

I see you only cater for Challengers and your Challenger buddies :walkaway: seems there is no future for that restored heater box in a Barracuda of any sort :'(

















 :smilielol: :roflsmiley: man i can be nasty ::) Just kidding Jim :P your work really is top notch and you rock brutha :ylsuper:

Dang Jim, you sure do a lot of great work, and you work like 12-14 hour days most of the week! :scared:
Good for you mate, nice to see that kind of dedication in this hobby anytime, let alone in this economy.

Man, seems like you have your work piled up for the winter Jim. With the quality of your stuff it will all fly off the shelves. Any tips as to the best source for a kit for restroring an A/C box? Mine works fine but I might as well go through it while its easy to get to.
