Re: my 80 build
I'd like details about that airdam if you don't mind. Was it new from a vendor, or did you pull it off another truck (or car...) in a junkyard?
Thanks! Clem |

Re: my 80 build
I really am impressed with what you are doing. It does motivate me to get a move on and work on mine more. Keep up the great work. I really like the interior. Sounds good, too!

Re: my 80 build
Just want say it looks great. Question- is that Mojave heater hard to install? I like the shaved firewall look and also can't afford the Vintage Air set up yet... Also, would you recomend the EZ Wire harness? Comments or suggestions on it.. Thanks.
Craig

Re: my 80 build
Thanks for the info. I think I'm gonna clean my firewall up a little too. Got a long way to go, but at least I am doing something, a little at a time... Keep up the good work!
