Are the Chevelle kick panels with AC the same as the Montes????
Bill check out my Radio install
I decided to make my own after seeing aftermarket ones and how they look
Chances are they stick out too much and eventually they will get damaged

- Took the Monte to the Yorkville Exotic and Classic car show which is held on Fathers Day
- Had a blast, so many classic and exotic cars
- Finally completed my radio install
-
Finally finished working on gauge cluster lights, they look sooo much brighter now. The only issue I have now is with the cluster lens its so dull, gonna try to buff it out or just buy a new one
Also changed up the square box subwoofer with this cylindrical looking one which will look better once the carpet and amps are set.

After looking closer at some of my wires under the dash as was replacing the clock I noticed some of the wires were corroded and casing was cracked.
-
A bit more progress to show
Still waiting on the dash pad to arrive so I can finalize the top speakers and might also put in some tweeters
-
Daryl is the glass flat or curved?
-
Thanks I will wait to see when OPGI has free shipping to my mail box in Niagara NY I use
All the best in 2015 to you and the family.
-
Thanks for the info Carl.
Where are they located?
-
Not sure who made the dash pad but I'm not happy with it and will be looking over Boxing Day to purchase a new one. Not too familiar with OER, I mostly deal with OPGi and recently The Parts Place.
-
A bit more work to show progress
Also cleaned up behind the dash since it was hanging
Over 40 years of dust and crap which needs to be cleaned up
Not sure how my dash even lit up, a few of the wires melted so I spliced them and re-taped them .... something to think about in the future guys
Not happy with my dash pad even if it is in so so mint condition, problem is its an aftermarket one and just doesn't sit snug on the dash as it should. Time to search Kijiji and craigslist for an SS model one in black.

Update;
Gave up on the clock and ordered a new one, came in yesterday and its installed
The drivers kick panel is in and it looks nice
No kicking or scraping against it and the hand brake is operational
-
How is the drivers side? Does your emergency brake work?
-
Any pictures of your setup
Would love to see the kick panels
-
Dash apart
Decided to replace all the bulbs with LED ones attempting to update the clock with the quartz conversion kit
Problem is im stuck.... the dials don't fit on posts
OPGi either sent me the wrong kit or I screwed up somewhere
-
So I finally started to install my radio and replace thee clock with the kit I got from OPGI
I followed all the written instructions to a T but its not going back together
I didn't get the DVD that it says in the kit to watch before assembly
Do any of you guys have the DVD or a link to a video which I cant find anywhere
My speakers and kick panels are all done just need this damn clock.... I should of got the completed clock
-
Funny you mention that
-
Well its Dec and still haven't installed the radio
So I finally started on it last week
Getting the radio deck to fit in exactly took about 2 hours but its snug like a bug now
Was running new wires to the back and under the rear seats an was horrified with all the crap I found under the seat... time for a major clean up and while I'm doing that might as well replace the smelly/brittle carpet.
More to come

That may be the problem, thx
How much does our system take, volume
-
Yes converted to 134A
Murphy where did you get the expansion valve from?
Will give it another try this weekend.
-
Took my Monte to a shop to check out the AC
Done a pressure test and it held good for 30 min
Pumped R134 into system
After running car the air was mild colder
Low side showed 60
It just would not blow ice cold at all
Are we missing something?
