1939 Coupe Sedan (Sloper) custom

It’s been a while! As my last post said, I’ve been doing fiddly things. One was getting the dash ready for epoxy and that meant finalising and finishing a lot of things that had been roughed in.

I’d made a sub dash to do a few things, including hide the bottom of the a/c and mount ducts, so first up was to trim and finalise fitment of that. I’ve a duct at each end and a third one through the radio hole (I’ll get to that.)

Made some demister ducts as well and painted them. I made these from metal and the a/c ones from glass.

Also needed to mount the heater water valve. As a side note, this is a Vintage Air a/c and heater, which is great, but as anyone in a RHD country will know, making parts oriented for LHD can be a bit of a challenge sometimes, having to route things the opposite way.

And made a hinge to swing it up and clear of the duct like this when in use:
