Heater - A/C motor was removed, tested and redone in house in colors to replicate something close to original without getting to critical. As once it's all back in the car and buried under heater hoses and A/C lines your not really going to see it, not easily anyway.
#1 goal in mind with this car is reliability and driveability. If it happens to do well in local shows. In the owners mind, thats just a bonus.
I loved how it looks restored. How did you clean all that gunk off and make it look new.

You say the color is a 68 silver, what was the color it was born with? I am guessing a green or bronze.
Actually it was born blue with blue int.. But the long time owner prefers the silver with black int much better

gotta love a glass bead cabinet, everything else is paint. Low gloss black on the mounting flanges/rings, exterior is duplicolor 'chrome' . I'll be the 1st to say it'll never fool anyone for chrome though. but it does give a sorta dull clear zinc look to it.
I want to re-iterate. This in no way an OE level car. Nor are any of these methods accepable or being attempted to pass off as an oe car - it's being done as a driver - first and formost. There are going to be some liberties taken in the name of performance,safety and reliability . Such as, a mini starter , and newer single piston disc brakes in place of the ever popular / expensive Bendix 4 piston system, etc etc.

I've been able to use one for a couple of project cars and it is so handy.
