71 Cuda Pro-Touring Build

[johns cuda shop]

I have the car sitting just down the road from me at Bouchillon Performance now for a custom A/C install. The goal is to have the A/C lines under the fender wells ,hidden from the engine bay. Since the A/C compressor is on the drivers side ,the suction line will have to go thru the drivers side and thru the dash to reach the evaporator. I was going to do this myself , but they are set up much better than myself to do this type of work. I will post some more pictures as soon as I get it back.

Excited to see how these lines turn out as this is near the top of my spring chore list

Here are some pictures of the A/C lines hidden under the fenderwells .   They used the largest condenser for the radiator opening. You probably wont notice the brackets that hold the condenser are sandwiched between the radiator and the support.The service ports are in easy reach by the compressor... The mock up is officially finished, taredown begins tommorrow .The next set of pictures will be the disassembly and body work

Awesome!  That's on my list of things to do this spring.  I wish I would have planned ahead like you have!

This is coming together great I am so glad you got rid of those tubes for bracing the firewall to inner guard/shock tower, they were in the way of the wheel travel. Those US car tool braces look really trick also, shame the get hidden from the fenders.

Looks great. I should see if they sell this as a kit

That's going to really clean things up under there!  Solid, tasteful choice to go that way.

The darkest Black I can find. Looks like house of Kolor (Indigo Black) . I'm planning Black billboards ( Since I deleted the door handles and markers ,I am not sure if they sell them without the holes cut in them). Hmmm, lets see, . Most of the underside and under the hood will be Hot Rod Black. The grill and tailight panel Hot Rod black.  With no trim on the car and flush mounting the front and rear glass it should look stealthy .Thank you everyone for all the comments, I wouldn't of got to this stage without the motivation.
