haha what an afternoon. That was crazy. Thankfully you didn't have to go up/down Parley's Canyon.

I did #5 on my rig. It is indeed ugly, but where I stuck it underneath the wheel it is basically invisible. I use it every time I drive. VERY handy. Link to the product I used is here in my build thread: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/cookie-cutter-5-3-swap-into-62.1288536/post-15368954

Did you end up putting these into production? I don't see them on your site, but maybe I missed them.

Great question. Love the stuff you make for 80s. Door card speaker covers are a pretty commonly broken/missing plastic piece. Not sure if they’re already in production. Last time I looked I couldn’t find them. Also rear door ash tray's are pretty useless. Interior/puddle light or usb charger...

yep. @63FST makes them. I used his when I did my blinker and headlight stalks. https://mofaraz.com

Ha. I mean, no, not really. Which means it's the perfect year to teach a 3 year old to ski. Sunny and not crowded, and I'm not missing anything...

I'm sure more experienced folks will chime in, but I'd guess that the simplest way to do it would be to grab the switched power wire coming off of the AC button on the dash and use it to trigger a relay to power the compressor. Route the compressor ground through a binary switch that you can...

Not much going on other than putting miles on it going to the ski hill and back. Only issue that has come up is the brake booster wasn't getting vacuum for about 60 seconds after starting. Decided to update the fittings, hose, and check valve. Picked up the still available check valve, as well...

Congrats on the new addition! Long days, short years. Nothing better than a toddler begging to take the lahn cusher.

I think I'd agree with most here that doing the cheapest possible engine swap is probably not worth it. But... Seems like one could do a 5.3 swap pretty cheap if you can find a good deal on an engine and transmission. For reference, I cut zero corners on a bone stock Geniii 5.3 vortec swap and...

Could also eliminate the amp completely and use a relay off the ac switch to give the compressor 12v. Not sure if that’s helpful. I suppose could also run the relay or compressor ground through the low pressure switch to kill the system if needed. Lastly you could forgo the pressure switch...

Super cool. Did you 3d print that enclosure?

Nice LX!

looks awesome, and glad to hear if feels better.
