Change in plans on AC hoses:
- Four individual bulkhead fittings will penetrate the inner fender as low & forward as possible on the passenger side below the condensor instead of a single unit w/4 ganged fittings. In the pic below 3 will be on the flat sheet metal you see below and one further back out of sight of this pic.
- The fuse panel will be bolted to the special panel Mike fabbed. For what it is it's nicely done with nutserts, painted satin black, etc. No one will ever see it but I like knowing it was done right.
- And the obligatory bling picture. The closeup of the chrome control panel.
EDIT:
- I forgot to mention my formerly brushed finish Flaming River steering column I got cheaply off Craigslist was sent out to be polished and came back FAST. But I forgot to get a pic. Looks SO good.

PS: Sorry, I don't know why direct loading (to avoid Photobucket) causes the pictures to load sideways.
