Also threw on the first badge today- let everyone know its a Gypsy ( because I changed pretty much everything about it that made it a Gypsy )


What exactly is the "gypsy" package? I know they're usually optioned up but is there a window configuration or some special purpose for this trim / package?

Gage, the blue paint is beautiful, the pipes look great and the Crager rims look saweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!
I heard your mechanic might have lost the title? I returned the call left on my message machine but never heard back from your friend?
The Gypsy Badges are a must, and I'm glad you kept them!!!

I did a whole new AC and Heat system installed. The equipment is from Old Air and a good guy named John at the Air Shop in Santa Ana CA installed it for me.

They wanted 1k to redo my dash but the real deal breaker was that it was going to take them 10 to 12 weeks!! HELL NO!!

So...I called my friend Dave Lee (infamous guitar tech and a Vanner) and he agreed to do a cheap and fast DIY re-do for me and I am way stoked. Check it out.......

So now the question before me is to put the painted and repaired dash back on with the less than stellar AC ducting and replace it later, or track some new ducting down now.
please send info for Dave Lee dash repair needed cheap, just dashes wants way too much.
