All the components of the AC are in place, just need to tie them together. I added up $400-500 in fittings and hoses to finish it. OUCH Quote:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I decided at the last minute to drive up to the Ellijay GA apple festival car show. I was #177 and I got there right at noon. That was the cut off time to register.
I had a great time. I had more people than any of the other 3 shows I've been too come and talk to me. Drooling does exist. One guy was at the festival and saw me pulling in and had to make the journey to the car show to see it. He was like a kid at Christmas. It was non stop from 12-4. Right before I was leaving a guy came up and asked how many times I buffed it. "none" I told him. I said I buffed the hood and that was it. It's not perfect by no means, but is pretty slick right out of the gun. With that being said, I left without any bling. That's alright, there were a lot more deserving that didn't get anything as well. We can't win them all. Btw this was my longest one way trip to date. 30 miles with 25 of it on the interstate. Pleased so far. It rolled over 330 miles |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Great to see you so happy.:metal:

I had to humble myself after the show, I'm just a wore out old Bodyman with a little experience. There are plenty of others that have tons more talent and experience than myself. I just hope I have helped someone in their journey. That's what I find the most beneficial to this forum as its a great support group to those that want to do it themselves.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Your build was one of the reasons I got into building old trucks. Thanks a million for your time. :uhmk: What's with the "worn out" stuff. You haven't even hit your prime.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
More encouragement for ya Alan... I first found your thread about the time you were doing the '59 Impala dash install. Been hooked since. Keep up the great work, you inspire me, as well as anyone who sees your ride or checks out your thread. Thank you for documenting to the degree you have.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I'm also glad your happy Alan. I'm totally jealous. Have you checked your MPG? :metal:

I found a new truck. Just trying to justify it. It's road ready he says he took it on a 50-60 mile trip. Going to look at it tomorrow. He's firm on the price at $4000. It's high compared to 2 others Sdailey showed me ($2-2500 range), but they need work. It's got the perfect look in my opinion. Since selection is limited, I think it is perfect. Thoughts?? |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I think yes!
Throw some shop logos on it and clean up the engine bay a bit. :) |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
It might be a $1500 at best. The floors were poorly patched, the bottom of the doors were shot, the radiator support at the right inner fender was missing and you could see thru the cowl into the inside. Oh well at least I know I didn't miss out on it.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
that's a bummer!...something better will come along i'm sure...not sure if I missed it, but is there a particular reason you're looking for a truck like that?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I bet the seller thinks most of that asking price is in the bed...

Ordered fittings and hose for the AC. They messed up by shipping some wrong fittings. Hopefully the correct ones are on the way.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
PSA #1001 I've always posted the good, bad, and ugly. Today it was all three. After careful calculation (Yeah right) of where to put my bulkhead fitting, I decided on a spot. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...2-11-10025.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...2-11-10026.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...2-11-10032.jpg After drilling and mounted it looked good. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...2-11-10034.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...2-11-10037.jpg After screwing the fittings on I realized I might have a problem. I was too concerned with what was inside and the clearance issues. Now after wasting about 2 hours, now i have to start over and figure out how too save it with minimal effort and damage. Not sure if a shorter fitting is available or not. I should have mounted it in the kick panel. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...2-11-10036.jpg |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
