These factory AC systems never die and never get smashed in a wreck, so there is no market for them at all - that's why I still have 3.

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can......

What about pulling the stock dash off the firewall, fit up the A/C unit then reinstall the stock dash over the top. You could then locate the stock metal dash panel a little farther off the firewall than it was stock to give you the room you need. Some metal filler panels on the dash top and sides will be needed but it can still look stock when you are done, just stretched a little.

I like it, sounds like a good fallback plan. Nobody would ever really realize the change I suspect.

As long as the dash isn't in the middle of the doorway....

Much talent in this build, thank you again for sharing!
