Last for a few days

Photo 192 - 194 - Top of dash. Notice the texture finish as well as the break lines for the dash face.

Not certain if this is original spray on the heater box cover but its consistent all over it and the blower motor.

I will probably go at the cover with thinner or reducer once I can confirm this isn't original. We don't need another gas tank mishap..

Up next is the heater assembly inner. I'll have a follow up with details of the blower coil and bracket as well as floor duct.

Note the #7 on the box. The tank had 20. mixing of assembly parts as they don't really matter as long as its a non big block or A/C. Idk what it is at this point but documenting it nontheless..

The inner box does have that textured finish like the dash top to note as well. And yes I do plan to soak it.

Darrell I'm really enjoying this thread on your '68.Having owned a '68 Camaro they have always been my fav first gen and I have always thought that they never get the love that '67's and '69's do.Keep up the good work sir!
