Re: Newbie,
 
Very nice indeed.

Does the Vintage Air come with a Heater built in? I notice a big space there.

Love that color. Is that a GM color?

Re: Newbie,
 
Yes I did a complete overhaul on the motor.When we pulled it down it had 2 piston skirts scored but the rest of it was in very good shape with only 41000 actual miles on it.The cylinder walls cleaned up with a light hone. I found a full set of pistons&rings in Connecticut.I found a set of rod and main bearings in Indiana. Both places said they were their last ones.I picked up several NOS fuel pumps on E bay and a Nos water pump also.Gasket set came from Fel-Pro and most of the ignition parts came from a local GMC dealer that has been around for awhile. The rest was some machine work. Wish I could be more helpful but I had to scrounge a little here and there. To answer the question about vintage air,it does include heat. I got good reviews from people who had it,and have not tried mine yet. I will report back when I do. The paint is a PPG basecoat clearcoat copy of the original color of Terrace Blue. Thanks, Dave
