Have fun with that. I'm doing that soon as well. I've found my vintage air kit to be not much more than those meccano toy sets I played with as a kid. Real mickey mouse and cheap with how stuff is made/mounted. Everything seems to fit "close" but nothing seems to fit "perfect" and very little seems like it was made specifically for the application. I hope it works better than it went together.

I have a few good local welders in the area so hopefully I can do some new pieces and cut modify existing ones to get what I need. not fun but I knew from the beginning this was going to be a problems. Just another day and another hurdle.

Local guy welded up all my custom ac lines so all I have to do is get my length and oriantaion figured out so I can get them crimped. New steering linkage is on the way. I'm getting so close but my small to do list is still massive...sigh

Installed all the steering linkage and gauges for hopefully the last time. Moved on to wiring and completed the front harness just have to complete a few power hookups and add fluids and this project should get a pulse finally. Really thought I had tons of space under the hood until I started cramming everything in there.
