Re: Pics of clean fire walls and aftermarket a/c

Here is a picture of how the Vintage Air system installs in our trucks. There is nothing to do other than removing all the old stuff (inside and out) and installing the new unit. The kit comes with a smooth firewall "filler". It consists of 2 moulded plastic piece that covers up the old holes in the firewall and has a snorkel type opening to run the hoses.

I have completely shaved my firewall now similar to the way jugernot has. Within the next few weeks, I will be mocking up a bulkhead of some sort for the hoses to go through the "new" firewall. I will post some pics for you once I get something done. Sounds like jugernot may have done the same thing as I am planning. It would be great to see some pics of his setup (hint-hint).
