Well, I need MIG gas, so I changed gears for a minute. I pulled the inner fenderwell to get the old computer harness out, and figured that while I'm there, I'd mess with the HVAC. Rather than have custom conversion lines made, I took a gamble on the A/C coil from the Firebird fitting in the heaterbox. I think it'll work just fine. It is a tad smaller, so I wedged a piece of radiator hose behind it to tighten it up. Put a new heater core in, too.

You are cruising along. This thing is begging for a turbo.

Looks fine, it would take me some pratice to pull off those welds. Especially for an area than you can undercoat and not see most of the time.

you think that's bad? you should see the floorboard welds on the regal! I make bubblegum welds look good!

my opinion, if you can't see it, and it's strong enough, who cares?

glad you were able to take care of the issue at hand!
