Re: Grandpa's OG 1978

Got the AC installed. I tried to keep it as clean as possible. I still need to hide some of the wires. I was able to keep the compressor down low.

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978

Dropped off the site for a bit. Cool to come back and see all the work you've done. I like how you've done some stock-themed tie-ins. I hope you got to get out and enjoy it over the summer.

Thank you! Yes, I have been able to enjoy it here and there. This winter I am installing a better torque converter and I think I will redo the seat.

Thank you everyone. Yes it is sheet metal and uses the OG mounts with a couple of plastic standoffs.

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978

Wiring cleaned up. Pretty much done under the hood. I’ve decided to redo the sheet soon and thinking about a tilt column and new steering wheel. Or style.
