The body is staying as it is, I have one shiny one, that's enough. Like you said, it's great not having to worry about paint or being dirty, I love flying around with it not worrying about it. I have the interior painted and I will make it nicer down the road, but it's good for now except for it may need a radio soon.

The HVAC is a Ebay/Amazon special for $85. They are pretty much all the same with a few different faces on them, except for Vintage Air or other higher quality units. The heat is working good. I have not hooked up the A/C yet but the reviews say people are happy with the A/C as well. I was going bite the bullet and get a Compac unit from V/A for $500 but I found out that with the added defrost option it came to $600, screw that! I haven't decided what to do with defrost yet, just try a fan hooked to the defrost vent or if needed I will put a dedicated defrost unit in it, ebay ones are $50 or a quality brand is $150. I am putting cable operated heater control valve on it this week. Right now it is only control with the fan.
