Re: A New 68 Build Thread

Just out of curiosity would the unit fit if you pushed it as far to the passenger side as possible? Or do you just not need the extra space that would create? I have been under my dash enough to know

Not sure exactly what you mean, but it can only slide about 1/2" more to the passenger side before it hits. I also want to be able to put finished kick panel upholstery in. My other consideration was being able to hook up the hoses without getting broken fingers. I will probably use the original vent opening to mount some speakers. Hope that answers the question. Thanks for looking.

Re: A New 68 Build Thread

You answered it. At first glance it looked like you could fit the unit into the area where the factory vent in the kick panel goes.

Love the progress though! Top notch work!
