I'm still blown away at how a collection of parts from every car or project we've had got put together and it works freaking' awesome. The in-dash portion of this set-up sat outside in a trash bag next to my garage for years. I was going to throw it away because I thought I would never use it. The condenser came from one of Brad's projects, the switches came out of a motorhome in wrecking yard, the fittings were bought on eBay and crimped by a buddy, and the mock-up compressor came out of a Chevy Sprint I used to own (which is a hilarious story all on it's own).

The coolest part of it all is that it's TOTALLY invisible and it works awesome. I used to think that building an A/C system from scratch was only for the Pros, but not anymore. Once you study how an A/C system works, and you think about it from a hot rodder's perspective, it's easy.
