Default Not too bad!

Did a heater core today, on my non-air '69. Not too bad, about an hour out, an hour in, and about 4 hours to clean and paint an' such.

You're not kidding. I have never had a car that fits that statement more than this one. It's also a personal thing too right? But I'm lucky I guess, there is nothing mounted between the heater box front and heater box rear, except the fire? wall, and it was fine. :D

First time heater core, not the first time for the passenger dash etc. Although I always say, this is the last time I'm pulling all this.

And I have to admit, this is the first time I'm glad didn't have air.
