I used a condenser from Vintage Air. I don't remember the exact model number but I think it was this one.

I was planning on using a Vintage Air Compac Evaporator but ending up changing over to a Restomod Air Bantam setup since it was smaller in size and easier to fit under the dash. The Restomod Air unit is slightly taller but was much narrower. That was one obstacle of a larger transmission tunnel.

The grill and trim around it has been completed. The trim will eventually be chromed. They started working on the lower valance grill. The lower valance will use an original grill the has been straightened. The headlights have also been mounted.

Work has also started on the gas cap. It will use a flush mount cap that is normally on motorcycles. It will be mounted on the top of the left rear quarter panel similar to the original only closer to the rear window. Pictures to follow........

I have also placed an order for front and rear flush mount glass. To get the ball rolling I had to buy 3 prototype sets so if anyone is looking for a set let me know. I am basically looking at dividing my cost by 3. I had to go this way in order to get glass by the time I needed it.

I also dropped off my front wheels to have the center bore taken out so it will clear the new hub assemblies. I am going to wait to order wider front wheels for the 315 track day tires until the suspension is in and I can double check the measurements did not change. For now I will stick with the 275 front tires but realistic that is likely plenty of tire for just about everything, except track days.
