    Pretty sure I got the dash face plate from C&G Ford parts. Usually get all my repop parts from them.

    Was wondering how much to make a A/C housing for the dash like you did on this build? Did you use Vaintage air?
    Thanks

    Yes it had a vintage air unit. Truthfully I just don't have the time to fab one.
