Passenger side fender is on. I just couldn’t resist putting the NOS headlight bezels and NOS eye brow moldings on the car.



I installed my original AC pump that I had rebuilt. Now it’s really tight on this side.

Well I have some good news. The L79 is now runing and man does she sound Good! Very very responsive! The bad!!!!! The dam heater core is leaking. It was a brand new GM unit. I was so sick to my stomach knowing I have to take that dam AC box back out just to get to the heater core, which is located in the inner heater box. I am hoping I can just remove the inner fender to get the ac box back out without removing the dam passenger side fender.. Just took 10 steps backwards.

Make me feel better and someone tell me this has happened to them before????

Jason

I feel your pain...I had to pull the heater core out of my 69 428 CJ Mustang one time.....thankfully it was only one time! What a royal PITA that was.

Finally the car is back together with all the bugs worked out. The L79 has a very good tone to her.
Now onto the dash install so I can install the steering column and take this baby for its first ride down the driveway!
