Hey Johnnie, How did the wedding go? Did everything go well with the old blue? How about coming up here to Iowa and doing the wiring in my 53? That what I'm into now and it is winning. Your car is looking great. It won't be long before we get to look at it in person. When we get there we will have to go cruising. You with your new a/c and us with our windows rolled down. lol.

Yes the wedding went well, they used the car and enjoyed it. I didn't have to do the wedding. I wish I could come up, I would come and help with the wiring. It could whip both of us.

Jan and I both are looking forward to you guys coming by, we were talking about it the other day.
Wont be to long and we will have to go cruising.
The girls can go in mine with the cool and we can go in yours. Hey I have an idea, when you come we will install an A/C in yours while you are here.

Looking good! Who did you get the carpet from?

Do you have any "under the hood" pictures of the A/C install? Keep up the good work!

Sorry, Bouncer. I forgot to tell you where I got the carpet. I got it from Eckler's, they were running a special and I got a good price on it. They get it from Trim Parts, who are great guys to deal with. I would have bought directly from Trim Parts but it would have been more. You can go on Trim Parts site and order extra carpet or what ever you need.

If I can help let me know.

I can't tell by the pic of the engine but there is a brace that goes from one side of the radiator to thew other and the light wires run thru it. Is it on your car? If not you need to put something to keep from pulling the radiator apart from the weight of the fenders.

Bob, can you see it in this one? It is what the condenser is mounted on. Thanks though.

Thanks, man. To tell the truth there is no telling what I may due without some amount of direction. I need all the supervision I can get.

I moved the radiator forward and had to move the cross bar to the front of the radiator.

Thanks again, always open to the help.

Very nice carpet and dash. The A/C outlets look like they could be from the factory.

Bob, that's funny and I knew you be all about the blue.

Thanks to you too dean. Took a lot of talking my self into drilling the dash. The delete plates weren't that big a deal, I figured that I could always replace them. Oh, lots of prayer too.

Finally got the plumbing done. Couldn't get it to hold a vacuum and found out it was my guage hose.


It is in there and cooling. I'm pretty happy!
