update: yesterday tried to put the heater assembly together, and spent another couple hours going thru parts and the manual. I think I screwed up the defroster door, but do not think I am going to worry about defrosters for now. may even scrap the heater. I have driven many rods without heaters. I find I can always put on enough clothes to get warm, but I sure do not seem to be able to take enough off to get cool.
Today I decided to set up the dash. Got out the template from the manual. Found that it was not that accurate with my custom dash even though the template was for a custom dash. I came up with my own lay out.
How I layed it out, first I took masking tape and covered the entire dash with it. This way I can write on it and see it. I then used my handy dandy see through ruler that I use for upholster layout. Has grids all over it and measures in every direction. I can see my marks thru the grid.
Here is pic of grid ruler

CRL had the toggle switches much closer together, I decide to spread them out a little more so it would not leave so much open space on the dash and to make it that much more difficult to hit the wrong switch.
Note the CRL name on the gauges, I thought these were once custom made by CRL, but just maybe it was a fluke these came with the car. Really fortunate all this stuff still seems to be in such good shape after sitting around for about 18 years.

Put in another 12 hours over the last two days. Man sometimes progress seems slow. Later Ray
