I actually like the plastic VA glove box.....if it would fit. I think it looks nice in the picture above. I may try heating and bending the lower part of it so it fits the glove box hinge better, or make a sheetmetal "adapter" that it screws to. We're heading to northwest Washington for a week so I have time to think about it.
I've ordered a bunch of stuff to try to finish up this electrical work.....switches, indicator lights, etc. The detail is as hard as building the harness. I've been tying up loose ends, added a couple of wires here and there, and have the rear fuse panel all wired up. I've added the connectors for the footwell light wires, VSS wires, cutout wires, and completed the wiring of switch connectors on the valence. I'm chicken to cut out the valence holes for the switches because I'm not sure how I'm going to finish the valence yet...paint or leather. Leather will require a bigger opening to wrap it around. I may just make them smaller now and open them up if we cover them with leather.
I still have to figure out how to interlock my hood release and RLO and add a connector to the wires that go to the RLO solenoid. Aside from that all I have left to hook up is the keyless entry/alarm, amp, and a couple of grounds. There's something like 18 or 20 wires that go to the keyless entry and they're all accounted for.
When I ordered my last batch of laser cut parts for our C4 conversion frames I had them cut some parts for mounting my switches. I designed some plates that will be epoxied to the back of the valence, and retainers for the switches. I welded some studs onto the plates that are used to hold the switch retainers in place. I also found some new connectors and terminals from a Chinese source that look like OEM tooling....probably black market .
