newstang 388 Report post Posted April 5, 2018 1 hour ago, 69Stanger408 said: Was interested in the under dash, around the evaporator and penetration point. I have the bulkhead connector kit along with the hose kit, seems like a straight forward process. Since I smoothed over my firewall my location points are gone. Figured I'd hang the front, then level out and mark the inner firewall. Any tips to make it easier? if you get the vintage air kit for the 69, it will have the tubes bent to come out where it did stock, The way i did it made it easy to hide so you dont see any a/c lines until you get to the front. ill get some pics tomorrow at the shop.

newstang 388 Report post Posted April 5, 2018 First pic shows the grommet i used before running the lines. 2nd pic is the Vintage air unit, although you cant see much. 3rd pic dryer last is where i run the lines back into the fender well. made a cover to protect the lines.

newstang 388 Report post Posted January 7, 2020 stripped the roof today with "airplane stripper" and learned after the top coat of paint ( not original ) it bubbled right up. the original paint under it as well as the original primer couldn't give a rats ass about the chemical stripper. thats some seriously good ol paint ! left it on for hours till all i could do is scrape a bit wipe it off and DA the whole thing to get the old paint up. They really don't make it like that anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aslanefe 333 Report post Posted January 10, 2020 Did you remove the lead at roof/quarter panel joint? Are you going to use filler to fill the gap or weld a strip of metal to cover the gap? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mustangstofear 608 Report post Posted January 10, 2020 Welding a metal strip in that area would be a lot stronger than just filler. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newstang 388 Report post Posted January 16, 2020 So after 2 days I got rid of the body guy i hired. here is his version of sanding down the weld through primer. he used a 2" disc for 2 days. I really do have some luck paying people for getting screwed. Oh by the way, that is at $25 per hour. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
