Thanks Ken and Vince! I'll be at Pleasanton but without the car since it's not wired yet. I'm getting my '29 ready for del mar right now. You guys going?

Very nice car, all of it!

That air cleaner plenum looks familiar. I built one for my '66.

Maybe Charley could send his Private Jet to pick me up!!!.....LOL

Car is coming along, I'm loving it!

The exhaust looks great, I can't wait to hear it. The car looks awesome.

OK here's where we are now. The dash and gauges are in and partially wired. We made a new panel and moulded it into the original AC dash. After hours or blocking and primer work, it came out pretty well. The Vintage Air system has been plumbed from the evaporator out into the engine bay. I'll be installing the fenderwells this morning and terminating the hoses once I get a feel for length. I hope to have the wiring completed inside two weeks and the shifter turret completed this weekend. Pics:

Very nice, I love all the black contrasting parts.

Just looking awesome!


Hey --- just remember that the motor TORQUES pulling on that big stiff radiator hose - so hope you left enough "slack" on it. Can't tell from the pictures. Rubber hoses are pretty elastic -- but some of the AN braided hose stuff isn't and it can work on that aluminum radiator just enough to hairline fracture it around the weld. Ask me how I know... LOL

Thanks Vince and Greg! I appreciate the comments.

Good point on those hoses Greg. My '32 did that on the lower -16 after I lit it off from a dig. Since that super fun incident, I now make sure I can flex the hoses at a minimum of a half inch up and down. This car has urethane mounts so there will be minimal movement. Good point though.

Agreed. This car is very clean under the hood and looks great. Keep it up.
