    I was told it was going to be a 10-14 week wait time. Got it in less than a month. Thankfully right before the hurricane is going to hit… 6084BE12-F59C-427D-9D4E-A6E8EEFAF6B2.jpeg

    Ill take lots of pictures and will likely do a write up on the installation when I have a chance. Might not have time to install it for a bit of time due to work.

    So fun fact the center register vent adaptor for the mustang kit is too small. I called classic auto air to see if I can get a different adaptor and they will not sell individual parts. The no longer allow you to buy adaptor pieces, so even though they have the correct size one they won’t sell it to you…

    Have you looked at www.oldairproducts.com, they sell separate parts.

    I just looked through their site and didn’t see anything that would work but I’ll call them and see if they might have something.

    I had Vintage Air slide control on mine installed in factory hole. The shop that restored my maverick had a 3D scanner scan the hole, they scanned the factory face plate removed from original control and the new factory plate removed from the Vintage air control. They matched them to fit together and 3D printed part to match up.

    ^^^Very cool. And I like the gauge cluster, too. Wish someone would make them.

    Haven’t had a chance to install this yet. I am taking off a week in January to work on the car and hopefully install it then.

    I actually just bought one of his dash inserts a few days ago. Very nice quality.
