We could probably work something out as long as it isn't raining.

Add Scott's Hot Rods to the mix on the A/C system as well. They're forum sponsors & offer a discount for members I believe.

cab is getting closer & closer!

Thanks guys,
Laidbackrecreations gave me a good price for the inside the cab kit but I will check with the other vendors. I'm still on the fence about using my 406/700R4 combo. When I finally decide I will get the correct compressor have the a/c lines made up.

I can't wait for that day. Maybe next time I can make it to see you race your beautiful truck.

I had a great time talking to Alan and Shannon this past Saturday. Alan had most of the cab primered before I arrived. The Vintage Air is on the way and the oudercoating is delivered. Amazing work as always Alan. Here are a few pictures of the progress.

greg65 · 09-23-2013, 04:15 PM

I also picked up some CPP 3" springs that I bought from Billy. Mabe this will correct the tire to fender gap. Here is how the frame is sitting now. I will post another picture after they are installed.

likaroc13 · 09-23-2013, 04:37 PM

Cab is looking great, & that's a nice looking chassis/drivetrain as well! Should have a nice stance too. What drop do you have for the rear?

It is all from Early Classic Enterprises. The springs are 6" drop with a super trac bar kit and their shock relocate kit. Before the body goes back on I need to install a small c-notch.

greg65 · 10-16-2013, 08:35 AM

I'm a little late getting my pictures posted from Saturday. Alan and I mocked up the a/c system to get all the attachment holes drilled before painting. The vintage air is a very nice piece. As always had a great time talking with Alan.

greg65 · 10-16-2013, 08:36 AM

terryw554 · 10-16-2013, 09:39 AM

Do you need to block them off now?
Or, could you mount the entire A/C unit more to the left?

Thanks Chad. I took auto body in high school twenty years ago but would not want to attempt getting my truck ready for paint. Good luck with your repairs . I'm sure it will look amazing when you get done with it.
