Of all of the cool cars I've seen on Moparts since I started coming here in 1999, this is my favorite, and by a wide margin. Thank you for taking the time to document this incredible build. Your talent is off the charts.

I'm envious of your skills sir! One question about the AC line routing, are you going to make some kind of cover/shield to protect them from road debris? My luck, a rock, or even worse, a blow out would take out all that hard work..... The S/S lines are over kill for this job as they are rated for over 2500 PSI working pressure. I think they could take the shrapnel as good as the fender has for over 45 years. The AC lines will get a 3/16 neoprene insulator that will also help protect them as the undercoating protected the inside of the fender. Thank You! Pat

If anyone has a proven method for access, cleaning, and coating the inside of the cowl please let me know.
In threads over on the a-body forum I have seen people remove windshield and drill out all the outer cowl spot welds and remove top outer shell of cowl. Then you will have full access. Other than that you cant get in there.

Very awsome project! Here is my cowl removed to repair old holes from racing in the top center of inner cowl. I hated to do it but only way to get full access. On a plus now can clen up vent holes correctly.

Did you beef the lower rad support ala the old XV brace? It is a US Car Tool lower rad support that I special ordered without the holes in it so it looks original. Fit and worked great! Thank you! Pat
