Fitting A/C first, waiting on a couple of fittings. Going with reduced size barrier hose, no bulkhead. That stuff bends Really easy and tight.

a/c hoses fitted, just need to clamp them down in their proper places. No bulkhead fittings, reduced size barrier hose allows for sharper bends.

Found an upholstery shop, so will order sport 2 seat foams and get those off to be done. Jets had a clone of the Lokar pedal that operates from the bottom of the pedal, so ordered it. Small things add up. I won’t finish in 2024 but will go into 2025 with the “wind at my back”. We will be closed for Christmas Merry Christmas!

I like it. I had thought of doing a box. But was concerned about having room for the 5.0 intake tubing and filter. Very curious, to see, how this works out.

One wire at a time...

I did this rewire during Covid... a number of weeks, but it kept me from losing my mind being locked up at home.
