From that view looks like if you turn left you'll rip the blowoff valve off, amazing how things seem from different views

Yeah the wastegate is right in the way of where I wanted the piping to go.

Slow progress lately, the astro steering shaft has been installed. Definitely clears up some extra room and I could immediately feel the steering tighten up. Great upgrade!

Found some GTA mesh rims local for the Nash. I've been on the hunt for awhile now for a set of these. They need some cleaning up but are a welcome update for the nash. I need to figure out the spacer soze required as I have 2 fronts and 2 rears.

Parallel flow r134 ac condenser part number OSC 4013 installed. I had a hard time finding a parallel condenser in stock anywhere. Rockauto just had them in stock and for right around $100. Fits really good as well.

Played around with fitting the GTA mesh rims on the nash today. I have the front rims on the back due to the offset differences. They are still a little tucked in but fit fine. Now for the fronts I had to put a 1/4 spacer to keep them from rubbing my tierods. Will be getting a bolt on spacer just need to measure how big
