Making gains

[bronco italiano]

Finally making some headway on my buddies upgrades. The ABS firewall was interesting to build. I used "Portuguee" sound deadener, some nice 8mm closed cell for insulation and the 1/16" ABS panel. Had to make 3 because it was too difficult to heat/form one piece. No I can start the electrical finally

Looks good, where did you get the ABS panel?

 

[Bitch'nBronco]

That looks nice, is that like kydex that people use to make pistol hosters?

Tap Plastics 65$/4x8 sheet

Finally manned up and cut the firewall holes for the heater. Went with Old Air Products. They have Bronco specific but I wanted side outlets because of the header/inner fender well being so close.

trying to figure out your Portugee references..... Assuming they're a good thing since you're applying them to your rig!

 

[bronco italiano]

When your Portuguese you well understand. It is a cynical term of doing whatever necessary to "make it work".
This build is for my buddy in The South. Lots of challenges for me because I had to factor the rain/heat/humidity. Something you don't need to doin Kommifornia (just watch out for the extra taxes).

Well I've been Portuguese for the last 60 years!

Grew up with that mindset drilled in me so yup, I get it.

Only a few more years in Kommifornia then retirement and out to a more people friendly state.

Got the dash back from coater today

Hoping to have the "Mad-dash" in by the weekend.

Gotta admit, as much as I enjoy working on broncos, I won't do another AC system again. That was my first, and my last.

 

[fordguy]

keep it up slacker!

 

[bronco italiano]

Haven't posted in a while. Finally got the Mad-dash in. AC install was miserable!!!

 

[1969]

Looks good! But what exactly is a “mad” dash? I see it looks like a two piece ?

 

[bronco italiano]

Madgyver invented the two piece dash so I call it the "Mad-dash" to pay him respect for the invention.

Got radiator properly oriented to the 1" body lift and explorer serpentine setup on Sunday. Just had to do some cutting/welding.
