Ok, I got some money for x-mas plus savings. I would like to get a few things but would liks some input from you guys as to what you think is most important.

I was thinking of getting:
1. Floor pans
2. weather strip kit

Other needs.
Complete AC Looks like Heater core was removed at some point.
Electrical system (brake lights and better dash instal)

Major Need
Paint Job (not enough money yet)

Well, since you'll be driving the car it should be "what's most important for you?" Is a/c important for those bloody hot TX summers? Maybe focus on that... or if you can drive w/ no a/c, start body repair...

The reson I ask is this

How long can i ignore rust rotted floor pans undtill they are no longer safe. Then the weather strip kit would keep the inside dry again.

The AC will 100% be next.

Until you can Flintstone stop... That's kinda a hard question to just answer. Rust = bad. Rust holes = bad. Big rust holes = really bad.

How about posting some pics showing the areas of concern.

OK found an AC system out of a car that is being parted out. If the price is right I will do that first.

What is a fair price for the complete AC?

Oh K the part hunting trip today was a complete success as far as I am concerned.

I got all this:
Complete AC system complete with.
New heater core
dryer
compressor
evaporator core
all copper fittings.

Air Dam
lether hand brake cover
Complete wire set for car/fuse box/fusable links Great shape.
gas tank flap
gear shift boot plate and shift rod
wiper motor
hazard switch/ defroster switch

SPARE TIRE TOOLS AND Original jack

and some other odds and ends


Guess howmuch?

Free 99???

tree fiddy....



damnit woman you gave that lockness monster tree fiddy!?!!?/?!!?

ok first off i would get a new dryer, a used one could be contaminated and would be hell because you would have a hell of a time getting the crap that was in the old dryer out of your system, they act as more than just drying out the system and if theres too much moisture it can make things worse and rot the system from the inside out. this is from experence and R-12 ISNT CHEAP r-134a is a littlbit but NOT MUCH. i could give you a whole lecture about the dryer thing but all in all.

old dryer has crap in it, dont want crap in your system, get new dryer.

$61 at the first place i type in, i am sure its cheaper else where

with the jack and stuff did you get a funky can of air stuff?

no no tire inflator

You can weld in patch panels for the floor if the surrounding metal is good. Check your frame rails too.
