Heater box repair

[71GranCoupe]

Considering having to get another one from the States or Canada, if me, I would see if a temporary repair would get me by until I locate another one. Won't take much more than a few $ to do a repair compared to buying and shipping one in right away.

Thanks guys, I didn't know they made new enclosures. I will at least try to fix it first, see how it goes, than I always have the option to get a new one. If I get a new one I will ship in a container overseas so thats safe. The packing of this was not bad at all, but the shipping company must have put it thru an earthquake, hurricane of very heavy abuse, box was totally smashed up, I have a picture of the box prior to shipping, looks fine. This is not for my current Challenger though (have a Vintage Air unit for that). I'm just collecting parts for my -73 project, so I have a few years to solve this.

Darn: That's ugly. It takes a lot of dedication to restore or even own these cars in Europe.

Good tip! I will get this. I have a few cracks on my door panels also.

I've since used this on my grill and headlight bezels and I must say I'm very impressed.  Works really well.  Just follow the direction.  Good preparation is the key.

I tried to order a kit from my Eastwood dealer, but they were out, but they had another brand of the same stuff so I ordered that, hopefully its works as well.
