Thanks for the nice words about my engine compartment.

There are so many nice pics here, everyone has their own great personal touches. They all look great!

Maybe $500 for the AC and $250ish for the PS hoses.. remember they are all custom.

The water pump was a 98 model with chrome pulley and polished pump
