Re: Tami's 51 build

Vintage air contact. Ramone...1-800-862-6685 ext. 109

Dealer in fl. Todd, 352-536-2434,,,,,,

68000vuz-a..........evap, gen 2

04808-vuq..............polished compressor

021475-lca................condenser with drier

15311-VCb.....side mount comp bracket

547001.........extended hose kit.

35137-vuq-a.......title fit hard lines for comp.


This allowed me to put drier up with condenser, run hoses down under inner fender and hidden, with no bulkhead, and the trinary sw, will mount right on drier,

There were no vents needed as I built my own and I used the slimline 4 knob controller.

This was for a long water pump 350 Chevy motor.

Re: Tami's 51 build

Well, dragged home another trans am, need to make some cash...so, while the truck is sun tanning for the next month or two. I'll do the ta.
Decided to start lining up someone to do interior, I WAS going to hire it out,but after last couple days, screw it, I'll do it myself. Can't find anyone around here worth a damn....wasted a couple days talking,, a guy came by to look at truck, told him what I wanted, 2 PC windshield, how I wanted headliner, etc. I knew I was in trouble when he asked how I was gonna keep the wind out of the center if I didn't use the original brace, and once I said I had stretched the roof, he was just blank when I said he couldn't just order a headliner and cover it. Moving on....so, Trying to find places to get what I'll need, We'll, on then not so *****y side....lol I'm going to a car show in killbuck,oh. To , we'll, you know....relax?

I did order 3 point seat belts from seatbeltplanet.com. Some of the chapter ones on eBay don't lock !

Re: Tami's 51 build

I took some time this morning to go through your build, you have done some really nice work! Your wife is going to have a super sweet truck when your done. After finishing my GMC build I started a build on a 66 Chevelle for my wife. I'm seeing a lot of guys doing build for their wife's, maybe it"s an excuse to spent some more money on another build with out pissing our wife's off.

my painter friend told me once that if I thought my life was boring and uneventful, to paint a car shiny black.
