With the pinch weld on the ground, I'm pretty sure no-one will notice (or even see) your A/C box under the dash.

LOL, maybe not, i will probably just dye it the color of the carpet so it dissapears !

maibe if you have enough leather or carpet left the upholsterguy can make a small pouch for it to cover it up should be ezy to fit with a piece of self sticking
velcro stuck to both pieces
it prolly would make it queter too

[67cheby]

LOL..i dont really know if i have learned yet, but i think that this is ones spot i will just step back and leave it alone !

[67cheby]

i might do that

[truckzilla]

Great progress! Thanks.

[67cheby]

Back to work on my radiator filler panels, this is much easier to do with the front clip on the dolly

[raull]

zup mike , are those panels for the sides of radiator to cover up the hole in the radiator support???

[67cheby]

here is a pic of the driver side in

[truckzilla]

Wow!

[tubbedII]

I'm diggin it!!!

[67cheby]

thanks guys i am pretty excited about how it is going to look in the end with all of the wiring and ac lines hidden and clean and smooth !

[mcbassin]

Very smooth work Mike. I really like the theme you got going under the hood. Time consuming eh....

[67cheby]

thank you and yes....very time consuming, trying to get all of the holes in the right places !! (i am glad i am doing this project totally on my own, i am sure it would have cost me a small fortune if i was paying someone to do it) my next big hurdle is getting them to fit nice and tight against the tubz ... not looking forward to that but i think i have an idea in my head that might work

[FrankieD]

Nice work, hiding wires and hoses is a lot of extra work but well worth the finished product.

[ddubbs]

Man mike the panels turned out great. The big brown truck show up yet?

[67cheby]

its not to late, i can pick it up today ..i am listening ? do you know someone good and affordable ?

[watahyahknow]

maibe people should setup contracts with bonus for fast work and fines for delivering out of the prommised date
work here in the netherlands gets done a lot faster , as in 2 weeks time start to finish , people make money doing a lot of cars no money taking their time on one simple as that

[LEEVON]

I hope you made engine sounds while you were in there taking pics.

[mcbassin]

Paint prison BLOWS! I have seen so many guys projects stall because of this. Not to mention the lawsuits that result from months and years of delay. I hope it all works out good for you.
