Real long time Bob, I just read through your build, very impressive!! I like how you are still working on it even after all this time.



Yea, It's more of a hobby now, than a project. Your old project builds help give me the bug, back in the day on Ari's...

I finished the air distribution manifold today.





Here is the final location of the blower motor. Brackets are welded in place. I still need to connect the outlet to the main housing (just needs a small elbow to connect it) and connect the firewall fresh air intake to the top inlet of the blower. The interior air recirc inlet (seen in the pic) is located just behind the glovebox.

the first photo looks like a new intake manifold....

Looks like the blower unit is sitting the there like it was made for that spot. Nice work

I was pretty happy with that location for the blower. I should end up with about a 6" deep glovebox as well (possibly a bit deeper on the left side of the blower)

I started to assemble the fresh air intake duct. First part is the plate that the blower motor butts up against with the air opening. Next I'll box it in.





Hmmmm....forgot to remove the wheel well........plastic melts....who knew?

Mostly finished boxing in the fresh air intake. Not thrilled with my welds...quite messy. That's what happens when you are lying upside down squeezed into a space the size of a shoebox welding with one hand twisted at a weird angle...the other trying to hold your welding helmet on properly so you can see...ummmm.....yup. I'll try to get in there to clean it all up tomorrow.

Finished boxing in the fresh air intake. Blower motor fits perfectly up against it. Now I've started to build the connector elbow from the blower motor outlet to the main unit inlet duct (...there will be a test later to see if you are paying attention... )

Your talking about installing the muffler...right

I was able to get the blower outlet ducting boxed in (connects blower to main unit). Everything is tacked in place. I'll try to get it finish welded tomorrow.
