Please paint heater fan black. Filling seal battery with water does not ruin it. At least it didnt mine. You have to 50+ to understand

This was my first trip to this forum and it was worth a peek for sure.
Nice job and very cool car.
It's refreshing to see that I am not the only one who was greased and packed when buying a car.
It was minor , but irritating to find that the guy who did all the work was pretty fair with a hammer and not much else.
When you got the front carpet up and find copper sheet and tar paper patches riveted in , you'll know my pain.
I bet there are cars that were well done and honestly described out there.......I just haven't found one yet.

You might want to check on the fitment of the two speed wiper motor with the large oval air cleaner. I think hemi cars required three speed wipers because the three speed wiper motor lays along the firewall for more clearance. I'm sure others on here know for certain. just trying to help spot a potential problem. Good luck with your project it looks great.

got ya on that, you are correct if it is a shaker, it would be a no go.must be the three speed. but, i have a six barrel air cleaner that has been modified to fit the two fours, and the clearance works out just great. thanks for the look out though! i am always trying to do the same for others, and i appreciate it when it comes my way as well.....

ha! yeah, i will get that baby painted black as soon as i can. like i said, i just wasn't thinking at the time. you can see by the rest of the car, that i am trying my best to make it look 'mostly' factory correct.....
as far as that battery, mine has metal sealed cells inside, there are no openings anywhere to the actual plates or cells, (assuming it's like an optima?) they are completely sealed and contained. water would ruin it for sure, which is why i am sure they were so adamant about the warnings. glad yours is ok though!

sorry about your trials and tribulations! most people suck at being honest. really, i lucked out with the body, it's all the running gear and small stuff i had issues with. all in all, i have a good car with good bones, she just needs some detail love.......
