Are there any Napa stores there?
There is but they don't ever seem to be open. There is an Advanced Auto right across the street from Auto Zone. I went over there and ordered one, supposed to pick it up this morning.

Got the charging system sorted out last night finally. So it looks like I'm done untill this weather breaks. Need some clean streets to get the car out of the shop and drive it for guage calibrations and to get the AC charged. So much snow in PA I can't even get my trailer out of the yard.

Today I installed the LS6 engine covers. We chose the LS6 covers because we thought the red would look good with the color of the car.

I had to notch the right cover to clear the new A/C bracket and the throttle cable bracket.

I converted the factory 3 speed shifter to 4 speed with a Shiftworks kit.

The car is finished except for charging the A/C and calibrating the speedo. I need to drive it to make sure there are no bugs.

Thanks, I appreciate the compliment. He is very excited, he joined the forum so he could keep up on the progress in the build. I can't wait for this damn snow to melt so I can get it out on the road. I think it will be a really nice drive anywhere car!

I charge $1500 for basic install. Any Fab work, AC, extra wiring, and dash work is extra. You supply parts. Any parts that I supply I keep recipts for and don't mark up. I also do a build thread and give you a CD with all the pics I take.

Got the 69 out of the garage today. Took it for a 20 mile ride and it did great. Just few little things to finish up and it will return to the owner!
