Beware when mounting that passenger mirror. It mounts further forward on the car than the driver side one. The passenger mirror on my Javelin has been completely useless since in was dealer installed in september 1967.

This like car reminds me so much of my 4dr with how solid it is. Body is just sightly better and the interior is lightyears ahead of where mine was when I got it. Mine even had the hacking instructions, too! Lol. And a build sheet! Bet Ollie's does!

I am thinking about building a console for mine and mounting a radio in it. Then I can cut out the radio spot in the dash for a big AC vent.

maximus7001 - The issue with passenger side mirrors needing to be more forward than the drivers side mirror in order to see anything in it is pretty much a problem only with 68/9 AMX & Javelins. By 1970, those 70 & later style mirrors could be mounted the same distance back.
The mirror I posted has a base that is not canted and looks like it could mount either right or left and has a much wider angle of adjustment than the 68/9 AMX/Javelin mirror. Ollie could remove his driver side mirror and hold it on the passenger side to see it it works or not. |

I think all the mirrors are the same.I have a mirror mounted on the passenger side on my 66 American. The answer is a 3" bug eye mirror that sticks on. You can see everything then. Works for me. Having AMC Fun, Ollie Edited by Ollie - Mar/11/2018 at 7:00pm |

My thought for the dash is: Remove original gauge cluster, fit a piece of aluminum all the way to the glove box. Cut out for a Dakota Digital cluster, where the radio is mount the Vintage Air controls, Below where the ashtray is mount the radio. Cover the aluminum with engine turn. I have a console with gauges and radio in my 66. It's the third one I have built, so I got a lot of flaws out of it !!!! hehehehehehe Having AMC Fun, Ollie Edited by Ollie - Mar/11/2018 at 7:02pm |

Ollie, the Dakota Digital cluster looks super. Are you thinking of their universal cluster or have them custom design your original cluster bezel?

Matthew,
I am planning on using a universal cluster, oblong and thin. To tell you a bit of a story. I used to have a 65 Ply Satellite, my pre AMC days, and I had a 65 Satellite parts car. I cloned the parts car into a replica of Richard Petty's 65 Satellite race car. Petty actually removed the original dash cluster and replaced it with a piece of flat metal to hold the gauges. I did the same thing to mine with thin plywood and it came out great. That's what I got in mind. The dash face itself is pretty close to flat. I am thinking of something along the line of 3/16 aluminum. Run it all the way across the dash. My friend has a laser cutting set up. He can cut out the gauge cluster hole, radio, Vintage Air controls, a/c vents, etc. I really don't want to put everything in a console like I did in my 66 convertible. I had to go with a console because I used the postal jeep shifter and I needed to cover that up. In this build I want to use a Lokar shifter with a leather boot. I will build a junk catcher console between the bucket seats. Nothing is chipped in stone at this point but just basic thoughts and I hope to get a lot of ideas here as the project progresses. Having AMC Fun, Ollie |
