have you seen what that "hole" looks like in 50% of the cars that are pictured here? Two dead heater core nipples hanging out with no heater hoses attached, and two threaded stumps hanging out of the firewall that used to go to an A/C compressor. How much more ugly can it get? Even when all of that sht is hooked up, it's still an eyesore. A well done access panel with symmetrical fasteners (think like Nik's hood scoop) is by far the lesser of two evils.

Pulling a mustang dash isn't that hard... actually... it isn't all that hard im most cars. Have you seen an assembly line ?

That thing goes on a robotic arm with the dash harness in place and just sticks it in there. A few bolts later and it's down to the next station. Newer cars are even simpler.... guess I'm biased cause I do this for a living.

Got the strut tower brace installed today. Tomorrow I start installing the condenser, I need to find instructions on the AC line installation. I see Orings but what do I lube em with? Nothing? Gotta figure that out.

So I have been tinkering with the ECU again... (go figure) I added some more functions because I can.
I now have a working Speed input and calibrated it, I tested it today and it is very accurate.
Also built but waiting on sensor tie in are the oil pressure and fuel level inputs. The circuits i built work great on the test bench so all I have to do is find and tie the fuel sender in.
I am really excited about having AC in the car for the first time, now when it rains I wont feel like dying.

Awesome Job!!!!!! You are getting everything all sorted and tested out aren't you. You got a lot more done than me then.

I understand the need for A/C as well. Hopefully that can get fixed for me next year. Fall is coming, but I know you dont know what that is.

It sounds like you got your VSS math parser logic figured out, well done Steve! :cool:

I'm excited (and a tad bit jealous :P) for you and that new A/C, it'll sure be nice to not be inside a rolling sweat lodge now when it rains lol
