Tignometry

In staying with my original goal of having A/C, I had to source out an evaporator from a 91-94 chassis because come to find out one of the fittings coming out the firewall is a different size on my 1990 chassis. Also different are the low side piping, compressor and condenser (iirc).











Cleaned up and slapped some new seals on the evaporator and reinstalled it back under the dash. Since the dash was out I decided to try and make it look a little nicer.



Like many 240's out there, my dash was severely cracked. With mint dashboards going for a premium nowadays and the likelihood of it ending up cracked again eventually I thought to flock the dash instead. I've seen some people with flocked dashboards come out pretty decent and it's really not that expensive to do it so I went for it. First peeled up all the loose edges, then laid some fiberglass bondo down. Sanded it down smooth and cleaned it all up, then laid the flock down.













I think it came out alright. Tricky thing is to make sure you cover the entire surface with flock while the glue is still wet otherwise trying to touch it up with more flock later is nearly impossible to do without compromising the overall finish. It was actually kinda fun, even my wife helped out.
