No picture updates, but work has progressed.

Under the hood: I've re-plumbed the Gillis valve, and mounted it properly. Made a fitting for the Bosch blow off valve, but haven't installed it yet as I am waiting for a few pieces of silicone and a piece of tubing to finish its install. Timing cover is installed, as are all of the A/C lines as well as the condenser. A/C should be finished as soon as my new compressor arrives.

Interior: Seats are out, and I hope to pull the dash today. The a few bits of sound deadening, and in goes the new dash from my parts car. I have been regularly treating the new dash with GoJo, and I can honestly say that the stuff really works to soften the vinyl! I don't think it would help a dash that is really sun scorched, but I do believe it will help a dash that is dry and stiff, but not roasted.

My new head unit should arrive today, a Kenwood DNX6140. It's a double din head unit with a built in Garmin GPS system... Yes!!



The rest of the audio will be some used amps I have, and new speakers all around. the the rest of the donor car interior goes in.

Well, that's all for now!

Shiny Side Up!
