i believe they are just 194's but ill double check here later on.

1LoC10 · 08-17-2007, 06:28 PM

yeah most of the gauges they have say they light up with incandesent bulbs and they are the regular halogen color when you scroll over em... but those when you scroll over they are pure white, but it doesnt say anything.. just wondering if its an LED or what

gringoloco · 08-17-2007, 07:59 PM

They're not LEDs, just standard twist-in socket 194s. Here's what they look like lit up:

1LoC10 · 08-17-2007, 08:06 PM

ok cool... maybe its just the white face that makes them look more white rather than yellowish

Sweeetttt! Looks like you've been busy!

meathead95 · 08-19-2007, 09:00 AM

wow! great work so far.

gringoloco · 08-19-2007, 02:58 PM

Almost a truck again.

Killer- Do you ever make it out to any of the local cruise-ins? I have got to see this thing in person when it's done.

68SS- What are you doing about the A/C compressor?

msgross · 08-19-2007, 03:19 PM

how many sq ft. of dynamat did it take? Did you do the backwall?

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-19-2007, 10:19 PM

1st time I have seen this thread and damn is all I have to say some great work going on here..

68 short step · 08-20-2007, 12:00 AM

progress for today, got the a/c condenser, drier, hard lines installed... the hard lines goes through like the factory ones...... modded the headers for a
v-band style connection, i dont like the slip-on desighn that they originally had..... then installed them.... also working on the wiring, this will take some time to hide all the wires, as you can see just a few.... and finally installed the pass fender so it'll hold the rad. support firm to start installing the 5000
CFM electric fan we're going with... that should be enough even for a 120* arizona day, or hauling any boat ....

killer71 · 08-20-2007, 12:09 AM

Thanks for the updates...you know how i like picts!

**Hart_Rod** · 08-20-2007, 08:48 PM

Are you using the factory radiator? How are you hooking up the steam tube/vent?

1LoC10 · 08-20-2007, 09:19 PM

factory radiator it is...steam tube will be connected to overflow tank via braided hose...

68 short step · 08-20-2007, 10:58 PM

fabbed up some brackets to mount the fan, then mounted it..... and located the air intake tube to see if it i could get it to clear the battery, i worried about this, but it turned out not to be any problem.... and still doing the wiring....
