    Nice job! Looks slick.
    I'm fabbing up the one for my 57 Nomad restomod out of sheet metal, and am dealing with the same head unit-under-glovebox space issue.
    Would appreciate you posting pics of the glovebox door relocation.
    I also have a VA AC setup and yes...it's tight behind the passenger side of the dash.
    So I don't care that the glovebox will be essentially useless due to the AC box, but I would like to keep the functioning glovebox door on the dash.
    But move it to the passenger side like you did.
    Got any more pics of that?

    Unfortunately, I did not take step by step pics. All I have are these pics, which were taken after the work was done. As you can see, I also smoothed over the ash tray and heater controls. The middle was left open, because that's where the center console was going, and the open space will allow me to run wires, etc.
