Thanks for the pictures. It looks like there's room for it to go there.
Thanks again.

A/C and Fuel Stuff
 

The last two evap. mock up tubes are over at the tube shop.

I checked the fit and except for a couple of small interferences, it all looks pretty good. With it tightened on the bench, I can remove the bulkhead and put it all in the car pretty easily.

I keep using my bicycle holder for various tasks. At first I thought it wasn’t a good idea, but for odd shaped things it really helps so I am going to keep using it.

I put the Vintage air conversion kit on the control panel. This was an easy job you can do at the kitchen counter while watching TV.

I started plugging in wires to figure out where I will route all this stuff. The answer is I don’t know yet.

Moving on to the fuel system, all the little bits and pieces came in. I figured I could find a 37 degree flaring tool locally but I was wrong. I should have ordered it online. I pieced all the fittings together and again started thinking about where all the wires are going to route. I also put the first piece of Tech AFX fuel hose together and I really like the quality of their product. There will be a short section of hose between the tank and ½ stainless fuel line.

For all the wires, I am thinking about putting a small auxiliary fuse box in the trunk, in addition to the GM EFI harness in the RF engine compartment. I have several areas I need to pass harnesses through the body. I haven’t decided if I want to use just a simple grommet, or spring for nice MS style circular connectors. I have a lot to think about.

Some things showed up
 

The UPS guys came by every day this week. It was a little like Christmas in July.

These are all things needed to work on all the vents, fuel lines and wiring planning. You forget on these projects how many new things are being added. The original car was so simple by comparison!

EVERY DAY ! you must have been a really good boy! I'm jealous......
Some sweet parts there..

Well it's not a beautifully restored MCC body shell with a sweet LSA but it's a start. :D Those little pieces do add up fast, or maybe I should say FAST.

They sure do add up FAST!, and these will be sweet to watch going together.

A/C Vents Installation
 

I pulled the A/C condenser unit back out after final fitting all the hard tubes. All I need to do on installation is just insulate them and they are ready to go. I bought a couple of crowfoot wrenches to make the removal/install easier. It is a piece of cake with the right tool!!

I always liked the original vents that came in the 67/68 Camaros with optional A/C. Spent quite a bit of time laying out the holes and getting the bezels to fit this weekend. I couldn’t find a decent paper template online. Even the Vintage Air template was pretty unusable. So, I made one out of thin galvanized and just reversed it on the opposite side. This took surprisingly more time than I thought it would because I didn’t want to screw up the cut. Because of the odd angles it takes a while to “sneak” up on the right size. If I had a small air saw it would have gone much faster.
Here are a few photos of the process.

I also cut out the opening for the center vent. I like the looks of the optional 67 center vent. It goes well with the stock dash. Everything is just loose so it looks a little off in the photo.

There is nothing holding the little round vent in place without the factory ducting. I am going to decide whether to buy and try the factory duct, or fabricate one of my own.

I also spent a little time mocking up the radiator but didn’t get too far.

Looking great :thumbsup:

VA install ?
 

Been following your VA install and like your fab skills. Question ... you fab'd up the hard line to your vertical bulkhead instead of having the connections coming out of the heater hole, right?

Could you use VA's EZ-Clips and hose instead of hard lines under the dash? Do they make the -6 and -10 hoses to match their connections?

Just thinking that would save a lot of time with fab work ... just measure and cut em, right?

Great job with the car .... keep the updates coming!

Michael

nice work on th VA bulkhead fittings. need to fab some up for my buick.
