That's high praise. Thanks! And thanks for reminding me to update this thread.

After having nothing but trouble with the Vintage Air-supplied Kwik Performance bracket, we bit the bullet and bought the Holley AC compressor bracket kit. WAAAAAY better! It looks better, too. The air conditioning has worked exceptionally well. The truck has no trouble staying cool while keeping me cool. It is weird driving around with the windows up though.
Finished painting the hood a few weeks ago. It turned out great, particularly considering how beat/rotten it was. Glad to get the original hood back on the truck.
The truck is finished!!! It'll never be finished, but it's finished. 🙂 We installed the hood yesterday. Happy to wrap this thing up. Yes, the truck is filthy. I enjoy driving cars, not washing them.
