Look its a giant jig-saw puzzle.. I already noticed a screw up on the painter.. I out the C5 corvette mirrors on.. He took everything off and painted them.. when he didnt fill the old 2 holes.. Thats OK once I have it all assymled, he is going to cut and buff.. He hasnt done the final wet sand stuff.. I already text him, and he said DAMN..

Kevin,
If this was listed in the thread, I'm sorry, but I am working on a Vintage air system in my 1969 Vert, and want to run the lines hidden like yours. Do you mind saving me a month of searching for AC lines, and tell me how you did it, and where you got the lines from? I have the gen IV evaporator mounted, and want as few connections as possible. I am running a ZZ383 with a low mount sanden SD7 compressor on the passenger's side.

Here's the build thread by notata, a mechanic who is doing the build with me:

Brad,

Im running the Gen IV too..It was actually easier than I thought as well.. I went down to a local Speed shop, Vic Hubbard, and bought some A/C fitting from Aeroquip. They make lines and fittings.. Here is some of there stuff from summit

Those are Newgen wheels from the old driverzinc. Jon who owned Driverzinc spun off and started a wheel company

That accessory drive looks nice. How do you like the valve covers? Are they good quality. I saw some on ebay for "clearance" pricing and thought about picking some up.

[zamora7]
