Thanks guys, I shot the vid a week or so ago. Figured it might help some peeps thinking about runnin the Accuair sensors.

**broey** · 03-16-2011, 12:10 AM

**64shortc10** · 03-16-2011, 12:19 AM

Right on lots of progress! Will this one receive the same style bed floor treatment as your 65? All these trucks with cool steering wheels! Is that a Deluxe horn button also? Where can I buy one of those? Keep them pics coming!

Ya same floor plan, I'm going to cut the tubs different so I can use all the same wood this time.

The new exo mount is awesome, have you seen it? The compressors are fully rubber mounted, very cool.

**lolife99** · 03-16-2011, 08:13 PM

Very COOL.
Delmo,... are you a dealer for Accuair products?

**PHAT TONY** · 03-16-2011, 08:37 PM

Ya it's a tough call. The compressors are pretty quiet with the Exo. I guess it depends on how you want your engine bay to look.

**jimmydean** · 03-17-2011, 11:52 AM

That looks awesome! That mount is a sweet addition for sure.

Dude, what did ya do to your ankle?

tech@scottshotrods · 03-17-2011, 01:58 PM

electric compressors tend to be a little bit more reliable over time and are less maintenence

c10Mang · 03-17-2011, 02:28 PM

Don't want to hijack this awesome build... I broke my lower Fibula on Friday surfing. SUX!
