new vette 62

Things are moving along. Washed the inside out after scraping, wire brushing, etc to get the inside cleaned up. We installed the Vintage Air and ran the hoses. Talk about ten pounds of sh1t in a 5 lb bag. We have the whole dash out now so I can't imagine installing the AC unit if it was in. Radiator is next with the hoses then the Hushmat inside the car. I don't have any recent photos but will be adding more soon. :photo:

I moved the parking brake to the top of the trailing arm to gain more tire clearance. It used to be on the side. post-1213-0-67590400-1376929692_thumb.jp Here is the new radiator installed along with the top hose. Still looking for a bottom hose to fit. Have a wire bent in the shape we will be taking to NAPA to find a hose. post-1213-0-44540700-1376929591_thumb.jp Air conditioning and heater installed.post-1213-0-84317300-1376929731_thumb.jp Dash cleaned and painted. It looks better in real life, lousy camera phone.

Bromley's Corvettes

Sometimes I use two hoses and couple them in the middle so you can rotate them just right.

Your serpentine look awesome man ..... what fans are you using ???

Like what you did with your e-brake .... I had to move mine as well with 10" rims ... but I like they way you did yours a whole better.

The radiator is a Dewitt's and they are Spal fans that came with the radiator.

post-1213-0-97403300-1377195440_thumb.jpDash is in along with the pedals.post-1213-0-37605300-1377195501_thumb.jp This is the rear blower only on 65 and 66 models. What a pain really useless but do want to keep some things original if I ever sell it. It looks good all cleaned up but will be covered up with carpeting. post-1213-0-47196300-1377195559_thumb.jp Dash from right side. I don't know yet if I like the color being different from the dash pad to the center piece. Once all the carpet and red trim is in we will see.

P.S. Monique got me insured and saved me a lot of money.
