Re: Project "Blue Belle"
I have a set of poly ones that are brand new I am not going to use. $60 shipped to you, with all of the hardware (as far as I can tell).

Re: Project "Blue Belle"
Great progress so far. I am at the same point in my project that is similar to yours. I liked Flatpat's link with the idea of relocating the a/c. I am also using the DD engine mounts and have the eng/trans all the way foward and the a/c mounted in the stock position. I am contemplating moving the engine back, and relocating the a/c compressor now. I was looking at the space on the firewall and the transmission shift linkage and if I move my engine back I think it might work better for my set up. How is your spacing looking on your firewall and shift linkage?
