I am also in the process of installing a Vintage Air indash heater and air conditioning.I am also changing the intake system,plus I had to build a air box for the radiator.pic's some time in the future.

Harley,

Good to see that your back at it again with your amazing car. I'm very interested in the vintage air set up for sure. Description and install tips will be much appreciated. I'm needing a couple A/C set ups for my cars for sure.

Do you still have the parts we discussed way back.

Harley,

I'm going to be heading to Idaho to pick up my ultimate Pinto in or around March or April. Maybe I can put a peg in the map and swing by your place and pick up the parts we discussed.

Looking forward to the pics.

   I now have to repaint the Stiletto.I was installing the new condencer for the air,I had a battery drill in my hand.When I got up to get some screws the drill came apart and hit the front fender.The drill comes apart for other attachments.I put every thing away and quit for the day.I was to mad to do any more work[damage].I'll work on it next weekend.
