Just about got the engine bay mockup finished. Pretty pleased so far. It's amazing how clean it is under the hood and I have not made any attempts at hide anything. The harness on the vet engine is completely hidden. I cutout some original old school covers and use the script on the vet valve covers. I am also very happy with the astrovan hydoboost much cleaner than a vacuum booster.

Man, really sorry to hear that. I used to see him every time I went to the GoodGuys show in Texas. We hung out last September. May he rest in peace, and prayers sent to his family.

Sorry to head that. I had helped him with some Nomad parts when he started it. I remember he was always helpful on the Forum and gave me input on my projects.

RIP my friend.
