I know I know it's not as. Good as the Dynamat extreme but it was paid for and in the shop.Attachment 191753Attachment 191754Attachment 191755Attachment 191756Attachment 191757

The billet plate with all the stainless steel bolts matches my hood vents install, my Forgeline, and the general industrial theme for my build. Now I'll get fresh black gloss powder coat on it and mount up the vintage ac so I can move on with wiring.Attachment 191886Attachment 191887Attachment 191888Attachment 191889
That plate looks good, nice touch!Quote:

Very nice touch. I hear you on drilling into fresh paint. One trick I've used is a piece of painters tape over the area I'm drilling into. It helps to keep the paint from flaking.
Most definitely reyguy. Another truck is use an air hose to cool as you drill just like when you do spot welds or but welds on sheet metal. Weld alittle and cool a lot!
Did you sell your rig?

After installing and removing the rear bumper 7 times I think I'm done. It's the. Original one but some repops brackets. Had to cut them apart and change the angles and re weld. Test fit, grind etc. Then black gloss powder.
Buddy of mine has a powder coat shop so that's been a big help on this build.Attachment 192059Attachment 192060Attachment 192061
Finally got my Ac bulkhead plate successfully mounted and the vintage unit in behind the dash. Put both in and out more than a dozen times. Such a tight fit with a bulkhead. On a. First gen. I didn't want to loose my speaker hole at the kick panel area.
Hard to get good photos under the dash today.
But celebrate small victories. This has. Been a pain in the ass and i found out about the Eaton ez clip hose after I made hoses.
First I cut and welded hard lines, all 4 out of aluminum but when the bulkhead was installed my port threads on the back side. Male was too short and the nuts on the hard lines bottoms out before the oring seals. I built all that on the shop table with a jig and even had the bulkehead mounted exactly as would be in the car. I just didn't take into account the firewall thickness with new metal, mud and Dynamat extreme.
So I scrapped all those and made 4 crimped hosesAttachment 192098Attachment 192099Attachment 192100Attachment 192101
It looks good, lots of fun times under there fitting things up.
I know where to bring my powder coating now! [emoji23]Looking good…I’m going to mock up some brackets as well to hide the boltsQuote:

Putting my E38 ecm in the glove box area.
Going to be a tight fit. I drilled a 2" hole just behind the kick panel area in that small square are where the jamb is. Drilled it from there into the kick panel area ttl route thee LS harness out the fresh air hole.
Since my paint shop left it open to run vintage air through but I used a bulkhead so I left that open.
I took and fabricates a plate like the vintage air fresh air block off plate and offset a 2" hole in it to get my LS engine harness through it. Waiting on it and. My cover plate for the wiper hole both to be powder coated in black gloss.
