    At the Long beach swap meet.There web site is www.gemstreetrods.com .I wrapped the wires with black plastic and adel clamped to the firewall.Had to modify because I didn't want a huge birds nest of wires under the dash.

    I did drive it around the block and had a few minor issues.I need to change the pressure valve in the P.S pump to slow down the fluid and quick steering issue.More tinkering and will drive again on Sunday.

    Wow !

    You've been a very busy boy Bobby ! .

    I like the two tone alot .

    What kind of HVAC are you using ? the firewall valve & hose confluence looks interesting and compact .

    Once the doc said my shoulder was well enough to tinker it was hard to the garage door closed. The AC is from Old Air inc. out of Texas.the electric contol valve was an option. (manual valve needs to be closed durin the warmer months and open during colder months)The electric valve works off the contolls on the dash.The two tone was an after thought.My chrome budget was used for other things .Everybody likes the change so i will probably leave it as is.
