Maybe I missed it going through the thread, but do you have any pics of how the A/C compressor fittings turned out?

Bad news today. I'm sure Chip will be on here with details, but Yeller got wrecked by a drunk driver. His dad seems to be OK, but could use some prayers and well wishes from everybody. :(

Hope things turn out for the good, or better!

Pretty scary! Glad that Vern and Tilly (his dog) apparently escaped without major injuries. No doubt they'll be sore for awhile, though. We'll be pulling for them to recover quickly.

What a shame to lose Yeller, especially to a serial drunk driver. :censored:

I hated to see this on Fbook last night Chip. It really bums me out when something totally unnecessary happens like this.

Spoke to Chip again yesterday and unfortunately, Tilly didn't make it. The vet said it could go either way and they had her on oxygenation to give her the best chance. When they took her outside to relieve herself, she laid down and didn't get back up. She was a sweet dog and absolutely loved riding in Yeller.

Sorry, I tried to do pics and did not find success.

I am chip chandler on FB there are pics under my post there, or I got a couple on the original thread here.

Boppa is ok, he got a bit banged up and spent the night, but he's ok. Tilly did not make it, she had broken ribs and a head injury. We're still waiting on the report from the PD. Yeller was insured for agreed value, so at least that'll be covered one way or another. No current plans of yet, I think this one's gonna take a bit of reflection.

I wanted to also say here, we have been overwhelmed by the support of both the online and real world community, it helps a bunch. Thanks to all of you. Please feel free to check out pics on FB.
