Gentlemen,
Friday morning began with the dash painting complete. I spent the next day and a half putting the dash and instrument panel back together along with an upgraded radio and speakers. The rebuilt radio works and sounds great! It works like the original, with a new amp and bluetooth. It’s fantastic!
I changed the panel bulbs to high intensity halogen ones. At night, the instruments appear clear and bright.
It was a slow process that tested my patience, but I stayed calm and focused and got it done by Saturday mid day. It looks great and was so worth it! I also rechromed the arm rests control bezels.

Hi Mike,
You did a fantastic job on your dashboard and radio renewal. The pictures you posted look great. Quite a bit of work that deserves a lot of credit!

Thank you,Dennis.
This was my first dash rebuild and I was a little anxious. But, I figured, “How do you eat an elephant? One spoon at a time.” I took my time, and stopped when I began to feel frustrated and tired. The dash came together as it should have with just one little squawk: the top switch failed. Otherwise, I’m very pleased with the outcome.
Mike
Mike,
Encomium to you! I never tackled an entire dashboard, and you deserve so much credit. It turned out great.

Nice! Do you have any video of how to remove the dash top?
Thanks

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Who rebuilds original AC accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year , There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A What is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks
