Lookin' killer mooser! But I can't tell where your AC vents will be located. Under the dash maybe? And having the defroster vents mounted flush is total coolness!

I removed the vin from the old steel dash frame by grinding the back of the rivets off and have it stuck to a piece of two-way tape, with the rivets still in....someday I will get the courage to actually stick it to the dash...
