Summer is on the way

[Mark J.]

Last week it reached 100 degrees here in El Dorado County, just above the Sacramento valley. As I ponder reassembling my nice, matching numbers, fairly original, non-A/C car, I know I will want to drive it during the long, hot summer days. So now, fickle me wants to install an A/C kit while the car is apart.

I could forge the car's history and replace everything to show it as an A/C car. (I know, where would I find the dash, you ask...)

I could go with Vintage Air. That would show my blatant assault on a former non-air car, but be the most cost effective way to go.

Or I could modify my Vintage Air system with older parts so it wouldn't insult your view when you popped the hood.

What would you do? (Think "traffic jam")

just do it! if you are going to drive the car. maybe try an keep it looking as close to factory as you can. good luck with it. I think in the long run you will enjoy the car more

Re: Summer is on the way

I think the thing that stands out the most in these is the bright aluminum Sanyo compressor. If you paint the compressor black, 97% of those looking will never notice, except in a judging field.

Sure glad I have a '65 AC dash.
