  1. Nice! As you stated, I bet the sealed bearing is ok on it's own. However I always prefer an additional dust shield. I think TTT should sell the bushings and seals as an add on.... And owe you a beer for the idea.
  2. Sorry about the hood. I know the feeling when you put all that effort in.
  3. Hey buddy, Welcome back. I met you once at my good friends shop in Petaluma while Joe was working out of one of his bays (Cody at Quater Tilt). Glad to see you kept the car. Looking forward to seeing the progress.
  4. What is the failure mode? I would like to see some pics of one of these.
  5. Wow that is stout. Yeah that should do it! Great work as always and thanks for sharing.
  6. Litman, impressive my friend. Your car is SO clean. I thought that the OEM compressor was variable displacement and was not compatible with the vintage air. Perhaps I was mistaken. I went to the Sanden because it is slightly smaller and I was fighting for fractions of an inch.
  7. ..... I bought their flares! Way over priced but I am stoked.
  8. TUCKED! Great work on those tubes man. Your car looks great.
  9. I am interested in cost for axles and diff cover shipped to 94928.
  10. I got a vintage air Mini II, it fits behind the dash pretty easily. The plumbing to a bulkhead took a little work and I had to purchase a few fittings to figure out what fit. I used a vintage air condenser in front of my radiator support, it is a 12"x20". For my compressor I ordered a Sanden/Vintage Air unit, after messing around with a vintage air F-body low mount, I ended up designing a building my own. Since my swap position is unique(ish) and I wanted a particular position. I just fabbed my own. All and all it took a little doing, but I am happy with the install. Of course, my car isn't running so I have no idea how it performs.
  11. Nice work! How do you like the tanks inc efi conversion? I am considering doing one with their kit, or ricks, or Aeromotive... or vaporwox... Having a hard time picking one.
  12. When I try to compose a new message, it allows me to add a User, add a Subject, Attach files. But it will not allow me to type a message. Please help.
  13. Yeah, I think maybe it's the flare that makes the wheel arch look more centered. Apex do seem nice. TTT makes a good product too.
  14. MEATS! That looks awesome! Holy heck that is a lot of tire. The fit is perfect for your setup. What arms are you using? Look like wheel center line is moved back slightly.
  15. That stitch welding is some of the best I have ever seen. Great work. I am inspired to slow down a bit, stay patient, and measure them all out.
  16. Probably a silly question, but can you just flip the bolts? So the nuts are on the other side?
  17. That sucks man. Of course the thread gets boogerd the very last time it comes apart... Figures. Getting a threadsert in dead straight is not easy. The car is looking great. Keep it up.
  18. Here is a better photo. In the box there should be a short length of nylon tubing that pushes on the barb fitting, this then has to be routed outside the car, and has to be sloped downward (gravity drain). I am waiting for my replacement to come to figure out exactly where I will route it.
  19. Hey man, my apologies. I ended up having to send that evaporator back (it was the wrong unit). I should have it back next week. Here is an image I found on google, I added an arrow to the drain location. If you take a pic of the bottom of yours I can point it out.
  20. Welcome to HybridZ. I would start by reading up on the FAQ's and the brake options people have worked through in the past. I myself was going to do an EVO Brembo swap, until I really started looking deeper into it. The are huge and heavy and somewhat difficult to swap (custom parts, which need to be designed and built to a level you will trust your life to). So personally, I made the decision dollars for dollars, it's probably better at the end of the day to just head down one of the tried and true paths, with know pro's and con's. You will probably save money just buying someones kit. However that said, if you have your heart set on it, go for it! HybridZ is all about exploring options and making something new.
  21. Amazon? They sell everything.
  22. Never run a combination of solid and flexible mounts on the same component. A solid front diff mount with a poly bushing in a mustache bar is a mistake, either go poly/poly or all solid. If you run a combination the poly will flex slightly adding stress to the diff, and eventually something will fail. There are plenty of threads on here illustrating these failures.
