Thread: 77 Update

There are a couple of companies in US that specialise in aftermarket HVAC systems. The two biggest are Vintage Air and Classic Air. Just Google them and you will see them come up. I downloaded the Vintage Air catalogues it is very thorough. I brought the evaporator from Summit Racing in US it was cheaper than using the Australian agents for Vintage air. Rest of items like Compressor, condenser etc I got locally as weight makes freight a bit pricey. It is all typical good US stuff well thought out. Stepper motors for all flaps etc

Bit of update chassis and most bits off at sandblasted. Fitted seat belt mounts on B pillar as per engineering where they are I can still fold rear seat

Here's where retractor will mount it clears front seat ok and allows rear to foldImage1460852136.041510.jpg

Ok fitted engine/transmission suspension and Brown Davis fuel tank. The tank was in mint condition inside though outside had a bit of corrosion. Bit more to do then back to get body fitted up. It is nice working on it only grease is from what I applyImage1463900653.611983.jpg

Fitted extractors today the ARP bolts for these are awesome to use 3/8 UNF S/S but with only 3/8" hex head. Makes fitting them up so easy in tight spots

Big day Friday Color going on panels the body has been fitted up to chassis panel gaps ( huge) checked then taken off for trip to paint booth. Have picked the most poisonous toxic paint cause I figure it will be toughest and I'm not spraying it

Ok colour on some panels rest very close to being painted. I hope mid next week panels will be on chassis starting to go back together. Here is a sample of work being done
