Re: '71 LS/T56/Ridetech build with cost

And the updates:

Trans is back from tremec and in, amazing company to deal with customer service top notch.

Removed the LS7 clutch and went with an LT1-S from monster, much better.

Relocated the battery to rear frame rails

Relocated A/C compressor to lower passenger frame rail, switch to SD7B10 Mini compressor

Cleaned and tucked all engine bay wiring

Installing vintage air horizontal dryer to the bottom of core support and moving some lines around

Removed super plush carpet i hated and replaced with poly vinyl floor

Cleaned and tucked a lot of wiring inside the truck

Plasma cut the inner fenders back, looks a little cleaner and I can get to the shock adjustment.

Last but not least. Flew to California, picked a nearly 50 year old car with no a/c, no heat, no overdrive, and no windshield wipers. Drove it from San Jose down highway 1 to Santa Barbara over to LA, Palm springs, Phoenix and then home.

It was great.
