Thanks!! i appreciate it.

I guess y'all thought I feel off the map. You couldn't be so lucky. I've been tinkering with a few things. The latest that is picture worthy is the duct work for the Vinatge Air and stereo.

I need to get some more hose and a "Y" for the dash vents. Only 3 outlets on the unit and I have 4 vents.

I got the radio powered up and that is it. No speakers hooked up. Trying to figure out how to fit a 10" sub behind the seats. The box it's in now is too big. I found one on EBAY that might work. Also some 6X9's behind the seat. I'll build some kick panel pods after the AC lines are ran. The other thing is where will I put the AMP. I've got 2 ideas.

It was fun. I realy enjoyed it. Temp gauge is still scarry. It gets up to 7/8 of the way to Hot. With a lazer temp gauge all over the block it's 180 on the intake, 210 on the oil pan, 170 on one radiator hose and 155 on the other. It's either the gauge or sending unit.

Looking forward to the next one.

I figured I'd blow the dust off this thread and bring it back up.

There is a possibility I might get to enter it in a local car show. Jasper Jeep is putting it on this weekend and isn't far from the house.

Since I can't afford a steering wheel yet, I thought I needed to do something. i had an old wheel laying around. I did a Po Boys rebuild on it, which included a scotch brite pad and silver/black rattle can. The horn button was pitted so I sprayed under coating on it and taped off the bowtie. It's a lot better than the nasty wheel I had on it. Maybe it will buy me some time til I get a really nice one.

I think those are the most beautiful words I have ever read on this site!

100 of the most well earned miles I can think of.
That is awesome Alan.
