Nice progress, looks good.

OrrieG,
You're really engineering this enclosure, good work. Do you plan on ever removing it after completion? the way you're securing it is going to make it hard to remove it once done. What is a big box store?

I want the frame secure enough that it doesn't move and squeak. The back will be held in with 8 screws. I had it in and out half a dozen times fine tuning the fit, it just takes a few minutes. Corners will have clips screwed to the back for alignment and into the floor and upper flange thru the speaker and storage cutouts. The finish panels will snap in using a concealed clip at the top with screw fasteners at the bottom.

Big box is Lowe's or Home Depot, most home improvement places have it.

Got it, I know what you mean about squeaking, it drives me nuts.
Got you now on the big box.

Big Brown arrived with the misc Vintage Air Parts I ordered (right before they went on sale at a site vendor here). Now I can get the unit hung under the dash. Will a simple air pressure test tell me if the heater and ac cores are good?

I'm not sure about air but I believe water is a better indicator of pressure for ac/heater cores.

Pressure for the heater core but, most of the time AC components are checked by vacuum testing.
