Rich, sorry to switch back to the headliner topic.
I can't get the wrinkels out of the last bow at the c-pillar. The rest is perfect but at the c-pillar there is not a real good way to tighten the headliner.
How did you do this?

Just read entire thread, very nice ride!
I was wondering if you could give me some details on your bi level heater/defrost set up? Would like to have defrost and like you not really interested in putting in an ac system. Any info would be great. Thanks

Glad you like it-Thanks - Vintage air bi level heater w/defrost model # 50616. We mounted it in the same location as the old heater box(fire wall opening welded shut/smoothed, controls in the glove box. The defroster ducts that come with the kit are to small get the bigger ones that are used in there air kit for the 69 camaro, cant remember the part numbers. Mounting them can be tricky, I used some killer epoxy to adhere them to the under side of the dash, if the car was nuked this stuff would still be there. hope this helps - Rich.

Thanks for the quick reply! I will check it out hopefully I can make it work in my '71 Chevelle. Again thanks for the info.

Hey Rich - how you doing?

I called VA about four months ago, told them I needed the same for my 69. They reccomended the 506101:

I'm wondering if I wouldn't be better off w your unit?

Hey Ron- Im doin good, thanks. Im not sure what the difference in the two kits are. I wonder if the unit they recommended you is smaller than mine, need to call them and find out.

I think the dimesnions are about the same. The only difference I can see is a bi-level. I'll call them and send you a PM...

Almost ready to turn the key. A bit more progress, the exhaust was a big hurdle for me, I ended up with a magnaflow system. Its really tough to beat from a price stand point, all stainless although it is pretty ferrous, it aint no 303/304 SS. I have a feeling its going to be a lot louder than I want, I dont have a prayer in getting the tails past the monkey bars back there so its dumps for now. It would be nice to take it to someone who can bend something nice and tight completely under the frame rails. The windshield and trim went in and I did pull the trigger on those fender supports from DSE.

Car looks great Rich. I have those same mufflers and was wondering the same thing.

Wow That looks awesome! You did a beautiful job putting it together Rich. The exhaust looks great too. Glad to hear you like it I have the same kit for mine good to know it fits. I'm glad to see your getting close to start up I can't wait to hear it running. Its a good thing you don't live closer You'd be saying "oh no here he comes again". lol Awesome job!
