Re: Project "Tiffany"

Ok. So My phone dinged and I saw I got 8 emails that refered me to an update on Tiffany so I figured I should come over and check it out. Shes looking great Keith! I see you elected to cut out the ENTIRE area of the rad support where the pinches are rather than leveling the bumps and filling that area. Was that just to run the tube or maybe to kill two birds with one stone? Shes gonna be one HOT Momma! Your use of Stock/Custom is off the chain!

Re: Project "Tiffany"

I don't use the stock radiator hold downs on top so it's just easier to cut that whole section out and replace....or at least it is to me. Plus it did make it a lot easier getting the tubing in.....

Re: Project "Tiffany"

With the Vintage Air compact A/C system vs the factory heat and A/C equipment is there empty space in the center of the firewall behind the dash? Wondering if that would be a good spot for LS swappers to mount an ecm.

Do you have any pics on what needs to be cut out of the factory front fenders to run the Hill's Hot Rods inners?

I put the a/c unit up as high and as close to the firewall as possible but it did leave me enough room to make a shallow glove box that could house the ecm.

I built a glove box and mounted the ecm on the back of it (out of sight) but it may be in the way of the A/C unit. However, relocating the ecm to the center above the tunnel may be an option if the space is freed up. Thanks

Re: Project "Tiffany"

Keith what gauge metal do you use to replace on the core support... and do you just use a cut off wheel,looks like the end cuts would be kinda tricky maybe I need one of those Air Pneumatic hacksaw

Thanks Kevin
