A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

Re: 57 Truck with a Danish touch
Hi, I'm back at it again, the last update on the site was about 14 years ago, my project has been on hold.
I'm installing air conditioning, but I thought the air vents that came with it looked very boring.

i like the idea of making the vents look more purposeful.

Thank you. The air vent is for a Mercedes Benz.

I've done some rust in the hood, and prepared the hoses from the air conditioning to come out of the cabin. I'll try to keep the firewall as clean as possible.

Re: 57 Truck with a Danish touch
What will you be covering the AC hole in the cab with? It looks like it was tapped for something to bolt into hold the AC hoses. That looks interesting.

Thanks for sharing.
