I made one out of plywood years ago to hold my aftermarket stereo... used cardboard templates to get the shapes right, then transferred to 1/2" ply. Ended up disconnecting the heater/diffuser under the dash, and using the two bolts/studs to attach the "console" to the underside of the dash that...

I bought the PST kit several years ago (for all 4 corners) and was able to muddle my way through. Do note that my kit did not come with one of the correct springs (I don't recall which one, but it's one of the lower springs). One hook end was 90* out of phase, so to speak, and wouldn't properly...

For me it's the 300+ mile commute whenever I want to work on it... but hey, the storage fees can't be beat!

Thanks for doing some preliminary work for me, Big B! I'm getting myself psyched up to redo all my brakes in another few weeks, so seeing what hoops you had to jump through is good homework. Can't wait for some fresh pedal feel of my own...

Would this be the complete heater control, including where the vacuum tubes connect? If it'll fit in a '67 fastback, you have my attention!

Has anyone had success reattaching the corner of their dash trim near the glovebox, the piece that seems to break off for all of us? (Thanks for the help Dad, couldn't have done it without you!) I realize I can send my dash out to have one of several places do the surgery, but I'm just...

I've been looking for a wood grain 3-spoke for several years.... I like the look of that Nardi! That gets me thinking... might be time to hit up the local junk yards and see what's laying around.

I'll check back in here every few weeks, unless someone PMs me. A guy can hope, right? *fingers crossed!*

I like the possibilities of that 383, Mitch! Thanks for the suggestions. Do any of you participate in any of the weekly/monthly cruise-ins around here? I know there's one outside of DC, and another north of Baltimore. Haven't been to either one yet.

Thanks for the offer, ply30! Virginia is still closer than Vermont, where the car currently is kept. But it doesn't make going for a weekend cruise much easier. Anybody else out there?

Hi all, I'm looking for a garage space in the greater Baltimore area for my '67 fastback. My current garage is sized for a Model T, and I do not feel at all confident parking out on the street in "Charm City" (what charm, too). :hmph: I can't afford what the self-storage places are asking...

I'll resurrect this one (again!) now that I'm in Baltimore. Still looking for a garage space for my '67 fastback. I'll post a specific request in another thread, but regardless would love to meet up with any of you in the area. Any upcoming shows that shouldn't be missed? It's usually more fun...

Rocky, you figured it out correctly! Didn't think I needed to specify, but I can see how there might be some confusion. Also, it looks like Layson's is the way to go. Too bad they're not glass, but maybe I can find a place nearby to fab some up for me. Thanks for the help, folks!

Just finished reading through this thread - very impressive! I recently (okay, 7 years ago now) had my 273 rebuilt, although I can't claim to have nearly as much as you. That cam sounds impressive - I may need to look into changing mine... Thanks for the words, photos, and inspiration!

If you manage to make this set up work, please let us know the results! I have a similar problem with my non-Commando 273.
