When the dealer installed a/c on this truck the did a real hack job on the core support. So working on getting the new condenser and radiator in and cleaning up some of the stuff they ruined.

Damn. Mad skills man!! Props for sure and very clean work. Heck this makes me want to go to Homedepot, the junkyard, my neighbor's house, craigslist and the hardware store and build some cool sh!t!

Getting the radiator/condenser mounted up. Should be close to done with that tomorrow. Electric fans are pretty close to motor, but look like they'll work.

Had to weld up some rust holes and holes from 3 sets of mirrors on the doors.

For final color I am thinking either a moss green from 72, or the blue from 69 datsuns.
