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.
