More pics... getting filters on the trumpets. There isn't much info on what to run if you don't have a plenum. On the Bav, there really isn't any space to do a plenum given the proximity of the brake booster and other stuff. I settled on these itg filters. They have a plastic structure on the inside and fit around the trumpets in pairs.
I modified part of the bracket that would typically mount the plenum to mount the intake air temp sensor.

AC system... I have a Resotmod Air blower/evaporator/controls in the inside, a SPAL pusher fan in front, and an Amazon sourced condenser. The lines were all custom bent Restomod Air and Vintage Air. I also used their end fittings... you cut the hose to length and push them on the fitting, ship the lines to them, and they'll crimp them. For the harder to reach areas, I bent Vintage Air lines. Trying to keep everything out of view gets tough with these bigger hoses.

So much sexiness in these pics...
Such an amazing build! So many things I love about your choices.
How is the ride when aired up? What are your psi settings?

Not sure on psi. When you calibrate the system and initially set it up, you start at full low, and then full high, and the system then figures out the in-between. You do have to take measurements of the suspension when putting it together to ensure it isn't too low or high though.
Is the ride bouncy?
I have Air Lift setup which allows each corner to be set at different psi via remote or app connection. Static height is manual adjustment like a coil over with the airbag/air spring for suspension. Took a bit to figure out the balance, but love the instant adjustment. My driveway requires “4x4 mode”.
