Vintage Air Gen 5 Magnum MAX Evaporator Install GTO RestoMod (Ep 45)

Today we tackle one more job that needs to be done before we spray Ruby with epoxy. The evaporator needs to be fitted under the dash and then custom brackets need to be fabricated and welded. Fitting the unit just right to reduce visibility and to make sure it functions as desired is of upmost importance.
If you have a project you would like to showcase at the end of one of my videos just email me a few pics and a short description to: [e-mail]

Big unit for a big car but you got it fit in there very nicely.

Thanks, gave it a lot of thought before I pulled the trigger.

Great tips umma definitely use these tips when I get my vintage air system

[@FoothillPaintandFabrication]

Thanks. They are super helpful when you call with questions. Speedway had the best price by far when I bought this one.

Well... this is one of the boxes that I would need checked if I was to do this sort of thing again. I love these classic cars, but I'd need to modify it - much like you are doing - to make it more comfortable/desirable to drive. A/C is an absolute must for me... so I'm really glad to see you address this. Thanks for sharing this journey/project with us. I'm really enjoying your uploads.

Thanks Tyler. We certainly get spoiled in new cars so it is natural to want that kind of comfort but in a classic car. Best of both worlds.

Really enjoyed the video Mark. Some clever solutions. Reminded me of the scene in “Apollo 13” where they had to piece together bits to make two incompatible things mesh!

Thanks Robert. Given enough time I can pretty much figure anything out. Still a ways to go getting that blower hidden a little better but I will come up with an idea, probably in my sleep. Just remembering it the next morning is the hard part!

Nice work Mark, so clean and professional. I'm using the "Old Air" inside kit on my 53 3100 with an electric compressor and a remote condenser with a Spal fan from down under. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

Thanks,
My dad had one of those in his 69 Chevy truck. Blew so cold the windows would frost up.

That blower is massive!! Great work figuring out solutions to all your problems. I plan on adding Vintage Air to my truck as well.

[@FoothillPaintandFabrication]

Thanks Doug. Never to early to start mapping it all out. Let me know if you have any questions.
