    Some Progress

     



    It's a little discouraging to have a car that was driveable in this state - but it's the only way I'm going to Get A/C.

    In order for the condenser to fit, it will have to be offset to the driver's side. However, with it painted black, it won't show up.

    The condenser is about 2" too long, so it will have to be mounted at a slight angle. There's ample room for clearance, though.

    Oh - and those cheesy brackets Gibbon used to mount the radiator will probably have to stay.

    I am concerned about how to mount the condenser. I have some ideas, though. I believe that the sides of the radiator are simply stretchers between the upper and lower tanks. I think (to be verified first) I can drill into them and use short, sturdy sheet metal screws.
