New Dash

[Greg C.]

New dash is coming along slowly. New AC controls work flawlessly, as does the new stereo, back up cam, and gauges. It's not beautiful, but I was more
concerned with easy accessibility. I can take off a panel and get to anything within a couple of minutes.
Only the actual gauge panel would take more time, due to all the wire connections, but when the top of the dash is off, you don't need to pull the
gauge panel to work on anything. I'll probably order some upholstery snap buttons to cover the screws in the matching vinyl.

Greg,

It looks real good.
I like the speaker placement - Now both of you can actually hear the stereo.

To me, it is reminiscent of a man I met that has a DC-3 (actually a C-53) with a glass cockpit.

Thanks Matt. I have the passenger side speakers wired to the stereo "rear" so either one of us can isolate the sound. I'm putting some 8" woofers in
the side panels with a crossover and separate amp to fill in some bottom end. The dash speakers sound good, but of course don't have too much low end.
Not going for really loud, as I want to listen to the coach telling me something.
