Have you thought of an aftermarket A/C unit to open the space under the dash? Here's a conversion for a 59 Caddy. Dash was cut in 5 places and cost about $10,000 in 1996 and some history on conversions.

Awesome build up. I never knew exactly how the conversion was done. I can see why it would be expensive to have it done professionally. Maybe someday this won't be required as I read about a prototype that has drive by wire controls and they can be easily placed in front of any of the three front seat passengers.

Neat work Aus. Now I can point our lot to this thread if they ask about RHD conversion, rather than sending them to pester you direct  Are you using the Volvo steering rack? I have also heard that a Ford Sierra rack will fit?!Think you said it was law to have RHD in Aus, we are lucky enough to have the option to leave as LHD. Cheers

I am actually using an underdash chain drive conversion. From past experience and FIeros I have foudn this to be a better system as the steering configuration stays as per factory. Also the heater doesn't need to be moved nor does the brake master cylinder. Fieros I have driven with a full RHD conversion never seem to feel as nice as one which is essentially still LHD.
