So, are you suggesting that I purchase the vintage air stuff now? Or do they sell the block-off plate individually?
My original intention was to do all OEM stock stuff. I've go the box that goes in the fender and the compressor mounting brackets.
Then after seeing Andre's resto and learning the benefits of a newer more efficient system, I figured I'd go with the vintage air set up. Ideally, doing a bit of custom job and hiding the long rubber hoses that look terrible (IMO) and clutter the engine bay... (One of my favorite things about old car engine bays is the lack of clutter- keeps things clean and simple)
Anyway, not sure if this block off plate is something that I will need or if I can re-use the old bits since I was going to route my hoses within the fender.
Do you have any pics? I'm always interested in learning something new. And exploring new ideas
