Now, back to the thread...
I've started a frame-off restoration. What I've done is take all the spare components that I've had in stock, and rebuild them, so that when it comes time to do the swap, it will go quicker.
This thread is the rebuild of a spare heater box that I had.
This is what I started with...
.
Here is a NAPA '73 Blazer blower motor that I bought over a year ago, for this project...
I also bought a new heater core cheap on ebay, from a private party...
Started the teardown...
Mouse condo...
Other inside stuff...
Took the flaps out...
Bead blasted them...
The rusty metal backplate...
Blasted...
Primed and painted...
I prepped the box for painting...
