After installing the engine, our project car is beginning to look a little more finished. Wanting to hear the engine fire always motivates us to keep working on a project. | 
Our new Hooker headers are a tight fit and will require the use of a mini-starter, but the performance improvement will definitely be worth the trouble. |
To make this a more enjoyable ride, we're installing Hushmat insulation panels under the carpet and inside the car's body panels. This will keep road noise and vibration to a minimum. | 
By adding Hushmat to the floors and inside the doors, we insulate the car's cabin from both road noise and the outside environment. | 
Hushmat does not require complete coverage of the area. They recommend approximately 60-percent coverage. |
Our YearOne carpet set went in next, primarily because we'd rather lie on carpet than steel when installing the rest of the interior! | 
Auto Instruments.com did a great job of restoring our gauge cluster. look for an article on the complete overhaul of our car's gauges in an upcoming issue. | 
The guys at Classic Auto Air did a fantastic job rebuilding our car's factory airbox. |
In a factory air car like ours, Classic Auto Air rebuilds the stock airbox but uses all new hardware in the engine bay. A Sanden compressor is utilized and is much more efficient than the original RV-2 compressor, and is compatible with R-134 refrigerant. | 
The Classic Auto Air air conditioning is efficient and looks cleaner in the engine bay than factory air when the hood is raised. Look for a future article covering the entire installation. | 
We still have some details left, such as installing the rear Super Bee stripe, but the car is coming together nicely. Be sure to read the rules and register to win this beautiful '69 Super Bee. |
