    I think there'll be plenty of room under there. I could've used some A/C in mine last July.

    I used a Gen 2 super with defrost from vintage air.... its mounted as far to the passenger side as possible .. the bulk head for the hoses will be out of view going through a block off plate where the heater core was..... gonna loose a little bit of glove box space. I'll get some pictures up soon.

    Very Nice! If you look near the ignition switch at the lower dash curve there is a tab with two holes where the factory A/C control would mount. Just to throw an idea at you.

    Dad had a '56 F-100 that I planned on putting a 462MEL and a C6 in. From a wrecked '66 Lincoln. But we never got to it.

    When are you planning paint?
    Friend of mine currently getting his '53 Chev. ready. Should be getting paint late Spring/ early Summer.
    He's looking at mid-2000 Corvette Orange- can't think of the name but it may be a copper/orange metallic.
    Factory Vette colour. Black roof & black between the stainless side trim. Not sure on the black but it's his car.
    Trying to talk him into a vinyl roof.
    Timing is right I can send you some pics. Generally a similar body size/shape/style.
