1965 Dodge Dart 270 Wagon
Missed delivery on my exhaust today. It's a bummer, but I won't have time to get to it until Saturday anyway.
Here's a few pics of the heater box. I cleaned and painted all the metal parts that seemed reasonable to attempt. I had a few different paint products laying around so it got a mix so I could see what I will want to use on higher visibility parts when I paint them later. I didn't do as great a job scrubbing the nooks and crannies of the box as other might have, but it's good enough for me. I'm also including some pics of the repairs I made to the box. The fresh air door was ripped off so I had to repair the area for attaching the rivets. I will probably see if I can remount with a couple of screws or bolts and washers. I found the fresh air door still attached to the hinge, but it is not moving at all. Hopefully a long soak in Penetrating Blaster will loosen it up. I made some jbweld repairs to a few clip attachment points as well. I'm still not settled about what to do with the passthrough area for the heater core pipes.
