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