Then after that left, I took in my neighbor's 64-1/2 Mustang to get it back on the road for her. Been sitting fir 10yrs or so. I should be firing that up today!

So as you can see, been pretty calm around here with nothing major happening. I need to find another something to build! :biggthumpup:

Well, I would not call that being idle for too long. I hope you're getting a good charge out rate!! That's a nice 68 Charger your buddy has!. Just a curious question, I always thought AC connections should use crimp type clamps but I see screw hose clamps being used. Is that the final install?

They do, Joe. Those screw clamps are on the heater hoses. This kit has both sets of lines (heater and AC) running parallel in the front wheel well. Not my first choice of where to run lines, but I can’t say enough positive things about Classic Auto Air. Gregg bought this kit over a year ago, and the shop that was going to install it yanked him around with delays. I finally got it and they were so helpful with missing items. I’m going to use their kit in my 308 too. Great company.

Yes, I see those are the heater hoses now. Very nice of you to take over and help him out.:biggthumpup: Don't be shy and post any other work going on, I always enjoy seeing what you have going on in that garage of yours.
