Winter mod... Found something to kill time with.

Classicrocjunkie · #1 12-12-2006, 11:03 PM

I still have to go to the pick n pull and snag a upper steering colum cover. I've never glassed b4, so if i ruen the shit out of these things, my stockers will still be mint. I've also got 45 bucks in LEDS comming to switch all 7 of the autometer gauges I have and have comming to be bright as hell. Then to do the Gauge cluster mod... I should be able to kill the month between now and college with this.

I'm aiming for something like this...

The car hasn't been driven in temp that would require me to even need the heat or A/c... During the summer the windows are always down, since A/C gives me a headache for some reason.

damn what is with that? ive met several people with that problem

I just think a/c is for pussies, women and children. I dont think Ive ever had mine on since I got the car. Lord only knows how much dust would blow out of those vents if I ever turned the a/c on.

Its simple why you would get a headache from AC. It is probably very old, never been flushed and re pressured, plus your vents are all dusty and the AC lines etc are all dirty. You are blowing out dirt and dust and refrigerated air, some people probably dont take well to that. You would need the vents cleaned and the filters cleaned out, or else you are just spraying dirt and spores at yourself. Ive never even had AC on any of my vehicles and it doesent bother me, i prefer to open the window in the summer, plus there is less to break, smaller serpentine belt which can arguably mean less work for crank = more hp. Thats just my 2c.

Its not just in my cars, its in every vehicle i have been in. The heat once in a while i throw that on, but not very often...

On a side note, i started cutting the PVC piping tonight and i have alllll day tomorrow to screw around with this thing. I'll be snapping some pics along the way since i am a pic whore in all..

Cut piping to a good lenght..

Then hack away with dremel the heater vents..

... and this kids is why you take math...or pay attention in shop class very well..

Cut out your designs....

Trim a little more and play with some epoxy and fight with the cups while the crap cures so they sit in the right position...

Test fit...

As the saying goes... "measure twice, cut once"..

Is really the only thing you need to take into consideration. Anyone can do this part, tomorrow i start laying down the filler to build a base with and try to start shaping these things. When i attached the pods to the bezel i think i have them out a little too far, but i can't fix that not without going a few hours backwards. Its just going to require more of an eye to get this sucker to look good. Good thing i don't have to be to school till jan 18th... lot of time left to play.
