Re: A/C condenser help?

the a/c system has been apart for a while. got it from a buddy that wanted to use vintage are because he did like the look of the factory a/c. will pulling a vaccum be enough to clean it out?

the wheels i bought off of craigslist. they are weld racing. can't find them any where. contacted weld and they said they don't know what the are either. said they must have made them one off for someone. they are dual bolt pattern 5x5 and 5x4.75, thats wierd. they are 10's and 8's, both have 5 1/2" back spacing. had to used 1" spacers on the front. everyone seems to like them,but, i'm not 100 percent sold on them.

i used the nasson line from ppg. the color is from their hot hues collection. luckily they could mix that color in the cheaper line. yes, i sprayed the white first. this is the first time i've painted a vehicle. two toning it a pain in the a$$. i had no idea, lots of masking.

Re: A/C condenser help?

here's where i started. decent solid old truck i bought to drive to work, i was going to scuff it down and repaint it blue and used as a daily driver. my buddy was helping me strip it down to paint and he says "you know, those window gaskets are only $35 apiece. we should take the windows out" i said "good idea". well, two years later this is where i am. this pic is after i lowered it and made the scoop. it was sitting up stock and had 10" boyds all the way around with a 90's tweed interior. it was a nice piece in the 90's.
