[bobm]

Still can't get over that Header. We're did you get idea

 

[scrapdaddy]

And could you talk more on the a/c compressor? That's not in the stock location, so who makes that get-up. Wish I knew about that before I did mine. So cool!

It goes without saying that this build is amazing! I eagerly await each update.

I am sure you are way ahead of me but I can't help but wonder, what you are going to do with your radiator hoses. They see super close to the exhaust!

 

[landcruisnman]

Exhaust will be heat wrapped and the hoses will be heat resistant. I'll get the details on the AC comp Ron....

My muffler guy is really good. Does a lot of race vehicles where space is limited. Good guy to know.

How you like that Restomod Air you got in your pig? I went with that unit after seeing your install and all...

I had a couple problems right in the beginning, but Restomod techs sent new parts and we worked through it. The biggest problem I have is with vent placement. Where I put the vents in the dash the air doesn't reach my face, being 6' tall my head is pretty far up in the roof. My wife being 5' tall has no problem feeling the cold air on her face. I bought a couple aftermarket 12 volt fans that hang by magnets under the dash and they blow the cool air around. Honestly I wish it were a better system and thinking about an aux. unit in the back. I don't use the a/c much, but when it's really hot I like to have cold air on my face. I don't know of any other unit that would work better in our pigs. J Mack says his unit (Restomod) runs him out it's so cold, so I'm working towards that.

Yah. I haven't quite figured out all the dash and vent stuff yet. Getting to that point quickly though. I like it cold too...

Had to go with a different unit for the AC. It was too close to shock hoop.

 

[scrapdaddy]

So that tensioner pulley is part of the package? Nice setup.

 

[landcruisnman]

Got my Heat/AC setup today. Bluetooth control heat and AC. No dash switches.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Wow! No switches! That’s next level! I want that!

 

[1973Guppie]

How's the quality on the restomod stuff Pat?

 

[landcruisnman]

Let you know pretty soon..

 

[landcruisnman]

Heat wrap front exhaust section.

 

[landcruisnman]

Got front inner fender on. Sent radiator out to CBR to get an electric fan installed and a shroud made. A few more things left and off to wiring..
