[QUOTE="nineball, post: 6525891, member: 585829"] just another minor update. i have had 7 different samples of vinyl sent and none of them were a good match for the car. i finally found a good one this week and will be ordering the material next week but probably won't have it completed until the spring. snow is coming next week and winter kills projects. i did spend a few hours today making a charger/mount setup for my iphone. i removed all the ac parts except for the controls in the center console already so they came out today and i mounted one of these: [URL="http://us.kensington.com/html/14493.html"]LiquidAUX™ Deluxe for iPhone and iPod - K33430US - Kensington[/URL] charger, mount, line out converter and it has it's own little wireless remote. first step was removing the center console and drilling a hole for the base to pass through. (i apologize for the crap quality but i didn't have my camera and had to use the iphone, and with less than optimal lighting some did not come out good). i used the 3m plastic-velcro mentioned earlier in this thread to hold it down to the bottom of the console. this stuff never ceases to amaze me with it's strength. this is not mine but shows where the a/c controls used to be. the a/c systems were never good to begin with and ~30 years later most are not working. my entire system has been removed.
