Well Bill, bet you were a little nervous cutting holes in your nicely painted dash! Definitely worth it, they look beautiful! Nice job on the installation! Thanks for the video and hope you enjoy the weekend.
@commentdeleted173 i recently purchased a 57 dash which had been carefully removed from its doner vehicle, to eventually replace the rusted out and damaged dash in my 57 2dr hardtop. As difficult as it will be for me to cut the old one out and weld in the new one, I can only more appreciate the originality of any dash before having to install aftermarket parts that require cutting holes, of any size, into the original dash. Just call me a purist, but a/c is a must down there in New Orleans.

Wow! Those look great! Well worth the effort and cutting the dash. You can feel the cold air coming out of them already.
Looks like it was done at the factory. Great job.
Great job !! Hope you’re feeling better each day!!
You start the video off showing the finished product, and I was still nervous for you while you were doing it.
Great job
Very cool. Looks like it was always there. Thanks Bill!
Nice job... Hope you can finish the car the way you envisioned

Hope your recovery is going well. Man were you as nervous as me when you started on the beautiful dash with the hole saw? Nice job! Thx!
Drilling into that dash hurts. Hard to watch. I wonder if the OEM a/c outlet location and dimensions are identical to your Vintage Air outlet?
I said "ouch!" every time...
