A part I have not been able to find from the Mustang parts vendors is the woodgrain for the AC controls so I made my own using the passenger-side piece from a normal non-AC vinyl woodgrain kit.

The takes a lot of patience and a few sharp razor blades but it's not all that difficult. Just press on the vinyl and carefully cut around the openings.

Is it a hang-down (under the dash) or in-dash (factory)? I have, in the past installed the factory unit from a donor car. It's doable.

The big ugly thing (ac) hangs down over the passenger foot area. It's super ugly and I wonder why it can't be covered. I'll get a pic AS SOON AS I GET THE STUPID CAR.

I guess for the time they didn't care for ergonomics like they do today.

I had the A/C condensor thing/unit restored by some company for my 68 Cobrajet and I can say this........it still looks the same but sure costs a stupid amount to have restored and it still doesn't get as cold as the AC in the CS!

Amy-
are the air outlets in the dash, or does the air (cold, I hope) come out of the "super ugly" unit over the passenger's foot area?
