I was able to button it up this week; several times.
Sorting out gremlins and making things fit.
The defroster actually blows. I thought it was pretty good then noticed it was on low. Yeah, it works. I did manage to
a few hours away chasing what I presumed was a vacuum leak only to discover that I needed to turn the blower on before it would energize the vacuum solenoid to the heater valve.
I found that I have the lines to the heater crossed at the by pass valve but it will just have to stay that way until after the G&R meet manana.
Here's a pic of the footrest after a little grooving for the hose. Since I completed the freon connections at the condenser I was able to finally run the condensate drain. Previously I wasn't sure what would end up where and yadi, yadi. It exits almost in the corner. Off 'bout 1".

To miss drilling thru the meat of that piece meant moving appx 1.5" further away from the corner or................drilling the hole dead center of the cone. The piece will push up when the jack point is used too.

Sacrifices were inevitable.

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel getting brighter.
