The new shop has done more in 2 months than the old one in two years. Dakota Digital dash, Rondondo Beach radio and Vintage Air all installed along with getting the engine bay mostly complete. Hoping for a mid November start up.

This is as much venting as progress. I ended up using the Autoplumb 20AN for the radiator. The Vintage Air hose routing was horrible, so we went with a bulkhead connector. Much cleaner and doesn't loose access to the alignment opening. And then there's the paint screw up. Turns out the old shop's 'expert' painter screwed up the kandy green coat and didn't add any catalyst so it never hardened. Good new is the first coat is good, so blocking off the top layer then a primer sealer should give us a good base for a respray. We'll see how it goes.
