Excellent job on your build!! I am in the middle of mine right now and have a question about the A/C....I am using the Powers A/C bracket in my '93 with stock compressor... if I bolt the stock hoses back up I get a big kink in the big suction hose.....the angle of the hard lines out of the compressor are not angled right for the Powers bracket set up......how did you fix the problem with your set up??? Did you get a big kink in your lines ?????

He never disconnected the lines IIRC, he didn't do anything and his lines are ok.

I'm in the same situation as you unfortunately

Not sure how his A/C system works with a big kink in the hose..........I want my system to work as designed so I may try cutting the suction hard line and having it rewelded so it is rotated up and toward the passenger side to get the kink out of it..........if that works it will only cost me the price of the weld ......unless I can find a compression fitting big enough to fit the hard line..............if not about $100 in fittings from coldhose.com.............

I just cut the suction hard line that comes out the back side of the compressor flush with the mounting block, drilled the block out to 5/8" stuck the hard line back in, repositioned everything for clearance and now all I have to do is get the line welded to the compressor mounting block.........easiest and cheapest and you keep your stock lines...........

truck came out looking good. Need a set of cal-tracs to hook it up?

I'm waiting for the turbo build, can't ever have to much power

Thanks. I swapped the rear shocks out for air shocks and it has helped a lot!
Also havent posted pics of the radiator cover finished.
