Must feel good to be "street legal". Congrats on the registration.
Curious though, does the antique plates limit your annual miles in any way.
Some states provide collectable or antique registration but limit miles to 2500 per year.

Hey Bob,
There was nothing said and/or documented that I had limited mile's for having an antique tag. I'll have to look into that just to be sure.

Hey Guys,
I wasnt going to install fresh air vents but, after driving the car around in the Hot Florida Sun, It really felt like my feet were going to melt.
So I started the install of some fresh air vents.
Local Boat store (West Marine) - (2) 4" Blowers @ $32 each
Lowes - (2) 4"x 10' Dryer vent hose @ $10 each
My feet not being on Fire when I drive the car.....PRICELESS

Here are a few pics of the install so far.
I ordered the Front air ducts from Finish line, they should arrive in the next couple of days. Then I will finish the Hose to the front of the car.

Believe me, Its almost like air conditioning on the feet with these motors blowing on them. I would "DEFINATLEY" consider this in your build.

Phil, you went with 4" blowers and hose?  That should move quite a bit of air compared to the 3" versions most are using!
Hey, if you hook up a switch to run reverse the blowers, you'd be able to vacum your interior real quick!

Phil,

I agree with the idea to install blowers.  I have been very pleased with the air cooling we get from the 3" blowers.  No doubt you will notice a big differenct too.  

Regards,
Chris

Hey there Guys,
I know its been some time but, here are some updated pic of the car.
I installed the "temporary" carpet (Budget reasons).
I've been Driving the "Holly Heck" out of it.
I've been tweeking it here and there to get the ride right.

I'm probably with-in a week of calling it done...For now
It will never be 100 perc. done.

Also, I took the car up to the local "HOOTERS" and practically emptied the place. My wife would not let me take any pics with any of the "Ladies" 8-). I have to go up there without her one day and get some pics and post them.
