wow, very clean car! :)

If you still need a 13 button OBC harness, I'm pretty sure I have one lying around.

a/c cap lines

I got some a/c cap lines.
I went to the junkyard and I cut off some ac lines and took the caps.
Since I don't have acces to a welder, I had my friend keith who works at Unique in Lake forest,
cut some circles to fit inside and have them fit flush then tig welded them in.

sanded them down then buffed them up.

what I started with

perfect sizes because they are actual a/c fittings

cutting some mild steel with a sheer

close enough for government work

pulse weld

rough

after sanding a little

after buffing them, they aren't perfect but I'm happy with them

done

Good idea on the ac lines. I just removed mine the other day and was trying to decide what I wanted to do. I think I will go the same route as you.

Cool strut bar, hadn't seen that...

maybe when I get some camber plates in the front, since the stack height will be lower.
