Nice work!!!! I'm currently working on a 65 LWB that will have the full CV chassis, firewall, and I want to retain the complete AC system. Looks like you are able to clean that up and have it fit underneath nicely!

after several shake down runs I finally took it out on the turn pike and yes I agree no rev limiter n yup a whole lot of power.

Started the front passenger floor and cab mount. its not as bad as it could have been. looks like 56 years of rust and dirt to dig out.
