Default Glove box build

well since i got the door panels done i've had a little problem. my climate controls where in the glove box and the new door panels stick out enough so i cant open the glove box will going down the road to adjust the heat/ac. so to solve this i made a frame to mount the climate controls in and fiberglass the glove box door so the climate controls are in the front and face me.









know a little problem i ran into today, i wanted to seude the glove box door ... but the contours of the door made this have a little snag. i didnt want any seams so its off to paint.

Looks great!!! I would have just mounted it in the center console, but as long as no one knees it, itll be sweet!

I don't think I've EVER seen the Monte without the dual-climate sliders...

That through me for loops before I even realized what you were doing!!! haha
