That's good, get the AC going and suck up the rest.

I know. Life is too short not to just go for it. I’m working on the ac now.

Where are you getting AC parts from?

It looks like you have holes on the passenger side to run a wider condensor. Do you need the lines coming out the driver side?

I was worn out after 500 miles of driving...

I remember feeling that way after PP '17.

The Denso compressor is from partsgeek.com (lowest price) and some of the fittings and hard lines were purchased at the local “tubes and hoses”.

Everything else is from:
Street Rod Cooler III Universal Air Conditioning System | Street Rod Cooler III Universal AC

I have my doubts it’ll cool the entire rig, but had limited space to work with and it fit the bill, size wise. Hopefully 100 sq ft of Thinsulate acoustic thermal dampener and llumar clear 80 on all the glass, will help the ac do it’s job.

Compressor on the left , evaporater on the right = lots of ac lines. I’ll have a mix of hoses and bent steel / aluminum tubing connecting it all together.... what ever it takes to have cold air blowing in the rig.

 

[cruiserjunktion]

Leave it to Frank to make it all fit! Another bracket and some trimming and the condenser is in.

I’m believe the KilMat is designed to go inside the vehicle, but I used it on both sides of the firewall. My 3m Thinsulate hasn’t arrived yet, so I cut a piece of sound deadener from a Bj74 fire wall mat I had lying around, to go behind the ac unit. This way I won’t have to pull it again, once the insulation arrives.

I’m ready to get this air going and should have the complete system in place tomorrow!

 

[abqcruiser]

Send Frank my way after you're done, to get my a/c up and running too.

 

[bobm]

Get in line . Does Frank know he's a Big Celebrity on Mud .

Does the KilMat absorb water?

Does the KilMat absorb water?

No. It’s foil backed butyl rubber.

The Thinsulate I will be using inside is also hydrophobic.
