I was building a '69 Charger Pro Touring with coil overs and a 4 link..ran into some issues with life and had to put it on hold. I have tons of parts, just need to get off my butt too!

How hard was that vinage air to put in? I am assuming it is heat and AC...?

All's I've done is put the unit itself in.....wasn't too bad. It's the universal Gen II Compac system and I just used the brackets that came with it and modified them for the rear mounts and made some adjustable mounts for the front. I'll try and get some better pics for you.....oh, and yeah, it's heat and a/c :)

I've got some polishing to do, weld them up and polish up the welds afterward.....I'll definitely post up pics when they're done :smoke:
