Re: 1969 Short Wide
Nice job on those ac adapters Mike, it's little things like that I would be lost on I would be looking for somebody who already makes the adapters.

Thanks Jason. It's a slow process as you know. I'm trying to do it as "right" as I can, it's very time consuming. I have been working about 20-30 hours a week. Hard to tell by the progress pics.... |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I mocked up my AC firewall cover and installed my adapters. Overall I think the routing will work out okay. I would like to get some nice extended length elbows to turn the hoses straight down but not sure I'm going to change it.
The suction side is a little close to the exhaust but I'm thinking a heat shield and or some heat shielding tape around the line. Notice I had to notch the frame a little to get the lower hose connector mounted. |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
A/C lines look good. I wish I would have used a bulk head connection something like yours at the firewall. It gives it a cleaner look. Every step you make is another step closer

Thanks Jason. digging your new avatar pic

I wish I had known more about my Vintage air kit when I bought it. It was a good deal at the time (2010) but it took a bunch of extra effort to install. The new generations look to be so much better designed. Plus you can route the lines however you want. With this one, I had no choice but to go right through the firewall. Plus the flimsy plastic bulkhead cover just wasn't gonna work so I made this one. I still need finish polishing it but I like it much better than the one that came with the kit. |

Just sitting here with my hand up, waiting to respond to the awesome post you're getting ready for Monday morning. Few more NOS goodies, hiding a few more wires, putting doors together,.... I'm stoked for you Mike!

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Small update, Picked up some notches from a fellow board member for smoking deal (Thanks Kyle!). It took a few nights, a lot of sweat and a little blood to get them installed. Pictures:
