My A/C Installation

[jhwkns]

I installed air conditioning on my '69. I'm absolutely loving it! It was 107 in Vegas today and I was as cool as a cucumber.The kit was from Old Air. I purchased it from a local vendor. The instructions were pretty straightforward, and very easy to follow. I did wander as I often do from the well guided path though. The center vent below the heater controls looks goofy mounted the way that they tell you to install it. I made a simple bracket from some 22g sheet metal. It's pop-riveted to the plastic housing, and attaches with the two big screws that hold the heater controls. This made a big improvement in the overall appearance.

I haven't painted it yet, but it's ready. I'm driving it to Reno for Hot August Nights this year. It will definitely be painted by then.
