    Are you referring to the insulation Bryan? If so, I removed all of mine off the A/C box and the firewall probably six years ago and never noticed any change at all in A/C temps. It works just as before, cools just as fast and stays cool, seriously, no difference. Fugly azz stuff was all torn over the years and looked horrible.

    Can you patch the box with some fiberglass & resin, or is it too far gone?

    Hey Bryan, I wonder what the R value of that silvery garbage is...probably 0.01. One thing, you'll never have a better chance to replace that oem starter wiring harness than you do now....looking good thus far!

    It's plastic. I could, and cover it up... but I'd like to make this as right as possible

    I did the same thing with my cutting torch setup. It works well on a dolley. I got an itch for a new toy so I got a plasma cutter. It rides on my welding cart.

    Good save on Joe's DTR. Looking forward to your updates.

    Hoping to get started on the DTR this weekend, just realized i might be helping Neil swap in his engine in his DTR, im busy listing items for sale on ebay to pay for parts i need for this DTR... all new front end parts are going to be near $600.00

    Then got hit with a 4400.00 credit card bill that was $0.00 30 days ago, so im well over 10 grand now in 30 days.... plus bills.
    Just a wayyyy higher than expected credit card bill. Had some dental work done. LOL

    Ill get it sorted.
    Thanks
    Ill try and keep this updated as much as possible, its been raining like cats and dogs alllll week.
