    His is already modified for a Sanden compressor which is still attached. Came off a '69 Mustang. If he is giving me the runaround I will get back with you

    Craig- Might be a while on the A/C project. I wanna get the t5 swap done first. I'm going to use a t5 bellhousing with a early fork and try and make a 200 z-bar work.

    Picked up a used Weiand Stealth for the 302, and did some hammering and priming on the rear valance panel.

    Removed a transmission from a '73 to get to the flywheel at the junkyard. One more part was added in the pile of parts for the t5 swap...one more part checked off the list.

    Removed front and back seats headliner and whatnot. Glad to finally get some progress done with my car. With the heat and all. I think next ill be removing all the rear drum cables and brackets. Then I got to figure out how the hell to get the hood off with destroying my grille.

    I've seen some guys hang a block and tackle off a beam in their garage to pull the hood straight up, then roll the car out from under the hood and lower it down. Also seen a few people use their cherry picker to keep the front of the hood up like a second person, then just carefully maneuver it away from the car.
