Thanx, the only thing left on it is the tailgate, doesn't need it to load the tractor, but I can pull a pallet jack onto it with the winch if it has a tailgate so I started building one. Figured that would be handy. Also most of my large tools are on wheels so I can transport them as well.

It appears the mounts are breakfasting in Ct., so barring any more tornados I'll have them before I need them.
I got my old sand blast cabinet back from a friend I lent it to 15 years ago, it's a bit rough so I'm doing a quick rehab on it for the Resto SHop reserection. Hoping to have my chassis inside by the end of this weekend.

Ya, sorry, been sick as a dog for a week, and working long shifts to boot. Ya, they look good, somebody cut out a bit of the lip on one, but not a big deal to fix, they should work fine. Thanx.
I brought the cab in the shop to figure a couple of things out before I send it to Jack. Need to design an overhead console, and figure out what to do about AC vents.

Eric.....hmmm, well someone who cut a little lip off, would have been me. Sorry if it causes more work. I was the one who salvaged those from my dad’s 66.
Regarding ac vents...did you see the photos of mine installed in the dash??

Ya, yours came out nice, but I was hoping not to cut the dash. I bought some nice metal oval louvers, I'm thinking about mounting them in a piece of 2" square tubing bolted to the bottom of the dash on the right hand side of the instrument cluster. It would be about a 34" piece with room for 3 louvers and the controls, then maybe a single unit on the drivers side. I also want to get the AC air intake from the passenger side air vent.

The Vintage Air unit does not have a way to introduce fresh outside air to the evaporator. I don’t know if other makers have that. So far, it doesn’t seem to make any difference in how mine works, but I haven’t had occasion to use the defroster function yet.....

The ideal system will be able to switch from inside air to outside air. I shouldn't have a problem with space for the intake duct work, I'm going with buckets and a console, I can eliminate the glove box completely.
