Danny, before you button up that body for paint, install a '67 vert mirror assembly in the upper header... I wish I did...
Hmmm, no vents on the dash.... where have I seen that before.

No, I don't think anyone has installed a '67 vert mirror in a '67 sedan, but you should at this point! I have some around if you need one for mock up. Deano

I've always wanted to do that to the defroster vents. Very clean, Danny!

I think Daniel H was the first person I`ve seen to fill the heater vents. I remember discussing doing it to his choptop with him several years ago. I think it really looks good.

Now I cut on the scribe line between holes and grind and file . Then with ring completely held in I hammer the 3/16 flange over ring. If you do not have alot of body hammers , You can use a peice of round bar for corners and just about any hammer for the flats.

Love the flange! Such a simple job, yet not many would think to do that. Including me!
