Yes, it is not connected to anything yet. Installing A/C is my next project for the brat.

 

Is that an a/c condenser that pivots on your strut bar?

Sounds really interesting. Would it be possible if you gave a bit of a detailed write up on what you've done?

Yes, I will start a new thread.

Here are a few of my dad's gen 1 and the fiberglass partial topper thing he has for it. I looks pretty rough, but isn't really in terrible shape. He drove it to that spot (years ago) with a cooling problem.

Here's a couple pics of my '78. I just did the bedliner - I used Monstaliner and I highly recommend it as it really looks like a spray on liner but is rolled on and it's super tough.

You can see that I missed the back sides of the bottom of the rollbar.... :mad:

hey Fignuts... you have one nice looking brat there... My only complaint is that you painted over the chrome pieces... But thats just my opinion... very nice color too....

Thanks! The only pieces I painted were the front turn signal retainers, the door handles, and the windshield moldings. The trim for the bed, front lip on the hood, and window gutters are still off and i'm not sure I want them back on on not...

 

Here's what I was kinda going for:
