12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build
Weekly update.
New condenser is in along with the radiator and fans. I also decided bringing the AC lines to the fender apron like they were previously wasn't going to happen. I moved the heater hoses up to the top 2 holes and I'll make a plate to cover the lower 2. AC line will now run behind the bumper. I was starting obsess over the AC lines and realized I was wasting time by not actually moving forward with items that will make the car run. After I had a talk with myself, I got back on track. I'll get back to the AC when everything else is done.
The upper rad hose is an 06 Charger RT, which fit pretty good with a little trimming. The lower I purchased won't work. It's more of a 90 degree angle and it looks like I will need a 45 degree.
I had a friend help me stab the trans, but still need to connect everything to it. I'm sure some have seen the poor reviews on the aluminum Lakewood housing. I have to say, that thing worked perfectly. It dialed in without having to use offset dowels, the factory Z-bar linkage bolted right up also. I did hav to get their fork bracket, but that worked perfect with my old fork. The trans literally slid right into it. No complaints from me. Don't believe everything you read online!
I have several items come in, which opens up lots of small projects. Which always results in needing to get more stuff....
