Is it too good to be true or do they actually work and good enough for you?

- Aftermarket a/c kits can get pretty costly now a days so when I saw a cheapo a/c unit on eBay I wondered will this actually work and if it does how well, so I assembled together my own kit and gave it a shot…surprisingly the compressor turned on and things started happening
Great to see Chris posting regular again. Can’t wait for more panel replacement videos on mopars. It never gets old to me
Chris your knowledge of everything and how it works, never ceases to amaze me, love the videos.
I have the Lincoln MkVIII electric fan in my Camaro. Moves the most air of any oem fan, as far as I know, and way more than the aftermarket ones. I did have to upgrade my alternator, and a few wires. Even if it's over 100 out, the car runs at 170 or lower.
The old police interceptor crown Vic fans work really well.
Thank you for sharing this with me and educated me on the air.
You would not believe the amount of people that do not understand that as the outside temperature increases the air coming out of the vent will get warmer. You do nice work and it cools the Generals inside. Good deal.
Your genius continues to astound me.
I've put together a cheapo A/C system. Cheap underdash unit. The compressor and condenser where factory GM. Made a few hoses from the GM hoses and chinese aftermarket fittings. Worked great
Super happy that you been uploading more videos keep them coming!
Could use a manual choke cable / linkage to actuate the valve on the heater hose. A lot of older British cars used to have this to turn the heat on and off
Very informative video. Even though Vegas gets very hot, it's typically not very humid, which is factor when it comes to staying cool.
I was able to get the original RV2 setup working with a R12 substitute gas. Which works good enough for our mild climate (not more than 100F).
I would love to see a break down video on the racing brake set up you have on patina. I love you can fit 15 inch rims on it.
Wowsers. Thank you for THIS. That's awesome.
Thanks for sharing. Dig you have quiet exhaust. Only way to go.
Good to know. Thanks for sharing.
Nice setup. I'm looking to do something built up for my '68 Bird. Grat info on the brackets also. Thanks.
Good info in this video, thanks.
Definitely cool for us down south ,thanks!!!
Nice work again,,Super neet set up,,looks great !
Great info! I've considered buying a Vintage Air kit for my Olds in the future, this might be more within reach by next summer!
I just serviced the AC in a vintage, big Audi Quattro sedan I inherited. Sumbitch blows 35⁰, my buddy now calls it the "German meat locker"
This episode made me laugh. AC in the South (or SW) definitely needed
Awesome point ☝️ and the cab is going to have a great difference in how it works. Great evening to you all Yinz all enjoy your project buildium.
You know Chris, you can replace the manual valves with solenoid valves, just one extra switch and no unsightly handle :)
On my rat rod i used a heater control valve off a mid 90's ford ranger they are vacuum controlled the i went to a semi truck dealership and purchased a vacuum controlled toggle switch it worked out pretty good
Very cool set up 👍
My old chevy square body crew cab came with factory air, and all I did was replace all the original A/C stuff with new stuff. When summer hits here in Las Vegas I disconnect the heater hoses from the heater core, and loop them together.
DAM !!!!!!! I LIKE THAT PUSH BAR ON THE GENERAL!!!!!
Thank you, I'm on it
Love the General lee 0 1 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Just put Vintage air in my 66 Chevelle AND I LOVE IT! I know what you're saying about the volume it puts out. I'm in Kansas and it gets up to a balmy 105 with 85% humidity and it keeps my car cool. When it's 95 it will freeze you out.
Hey Chris thank you for the video and at least that baby is going to be cool now in the good old generally that's for sure now with a push bumper on it yeah 👍
Great job on the ac! I just paid 1800 for a C2 kit and had issues with it
@Chris birdsong : I was really hoping you had figured out which factory little shitbox car has an easy to use AC/HEAT box.. A few years ago, I saw a video on here about using one from a Toyota or Honda or Yugo or something the boneyards are full of. I thought I bookmarked it, but lost the link... The unit had everything we need in it's factory package and was about the same size as the Vantage Air units... I was really hoping you had found it or another simple factory unit.... So, STILL LOOKING... lol.. PS, today was 105*s with 48% humidity here in Tampa Bay.... Yeah, we need serious AC units here too!!
Exactly what I wanted to know awesome 👍
Sweet set up! Where did you get the roof insulation?
Could you plz do a video on putting in the headliner
You can get valves at heavy truck parts places that you can actuate with a cable that’s how truck hvac shut off the coolant
Hell yeah 🎉🎉🎉 I am almost to that point 👍
It would help to make and intall a filler panel between the radiator support and hood latch mechanism. That will pull more air from the grill and not from around the radiator support/latch mechanism.
That's what the fan shroud is for
@@mobygodfrey4936 Nope.
Really interesting set up. The hottest it's ever gets around here (North Scotland) is about 80, if we're lucky. A/C is nice but not essential.
I had one in nc in a dump truck that here with the air temp would blow 32 out of the vent I believe in the cheap ac eBay junk
Instead of those manual water shutoff valves why not get one or a pair of cable controlled heater control valves that way you can open/close the flow of coolant to your heater core from the inside of the car. Additionally have you considered making a cable or servo (electric or vacuum) splitter that sits on top of the outlet vents of the under dash unit so that you can have air blow out your defroster ducts.
What ceiling insulation did you use? I have knock off dynamatt lying around but wants sure if that hold up sun and heat
When it's 115 degrees, how come the insulation on the roof doesn't sag or fall down with softened adhesive? The top of the roof must be at least 120-5 degrees. Good job on the AC👍🍺
Love the vids!!
A shout out to Pole Barn Garage for the recommendation. From your new subscriber.
Considering that A/C performance drops as temperature rises that 6oº output doesn't seem all that bad.
Will you put a roll cage in the general
Appears to be 68' doors on the car. Going to be a huge pain in the ass to do the headliner in that car with the glass installed.
what type of tint did you use on the car.
Hopefully you are able to get the Chineseium stuff in a couple of years.😊
Looks big enough to do an A-Body.
You copping much flack when driving around town for keeping the paint matching the TV show?
I don’t see where the Dodge Charger cowl vent intake is vented to the EBay interior evap system hook up. With out that your running on recirculate 100%. This with freeze the coils on the evap on long running time. Short run time would work ok.
What kind of insulation is on your roof and is that necessary for cars in ny?
Those new mufflers did the job...
Did you remove the factory heater box?
That panel looks like a good Chrysler one if you would have put some time in it.
Whats up Chris , awsome video's you put out and the hell with them haters , if you want a push bar get it but if you don't we understand
My favorite car is the Dodge general Lee Hazzard 01
Get your dealy on yenz have a great day today.
That's cheaper than replacing OE parts
I'd take vinty out of pick up and swap...I know I know..not broke..don't fix it..but Your a go getter..whichever You drive the most💪😁☝🙏🙏🙏
Every so often, open the heater hose up to flush the heater core out. It's not too bad, but like you said Vintage prob would have been better. But the COST!!!!! LOL
The closer to the fan shroud the fan blades are, the more flow the fan will provide.
Where’s Daisy? Joined the channel to see what that car turned out to be. Haven’t seen it in a few years.
The guy makes me sick. He can throw crap together and make it work and look great. Way too much skill. Amazing guy.
Edgamacated? "THAT'S WORD!" "COPPYCAT!"😂❤ COOL!
Sorry Chris, I didn't know IT was our J O B to pick YOUR General Lee apart, silly ME, I should have known. So how come the doors aren't welded shut, YET?🤣👍
That control power is way better than the Chineseium stuff 😃😉
Daisy?
👍👍
How bout Daisy?
Wait, who signed your glovebox brother?
Chris, let's see some work on that Crunched 71 shit box gold Charger R/T you snatched out of the boneyard.
I want to see Daisy progress. Anyone else want to see Daisy progress?
But how long does it last is the question ??
Time will tell🤷♂️
awesome,, and "Cool".... and it is, "Daytona" Time,,!!
If You put a electric fan in front of the condenser it will bring the High side head temps down even more giving you colder air.
Yeah, was wondering if it was colder when he's moving, my dang old 02' Dodge Ram has been that way for awhile now. IT won't take a recharge and shows over pressure on that side, I don't have the dual gauge set up or want to spend to test it anymore cuz I only drive 900 last year, more in the snow time! IDK if it's a schrader valve or compressor relay or whatnot but it blows great on the highway?!
The heat isn't hooked up.
Even women watched Dukes of Hazard to see Daisy! Why don’t you show Daisy?
Where’s Daisy?
Does anyone else remember Daisy?
Bro, save urself a 2hr wait or $200 bill or an emergency with the baby and hot Vegas now and put a spare key in ur wallet!
He’s a Millennial so yeah extra key
@@jdfmfb03lmao. You just go around calling people names ? Millennial ?? Tell me your barely 12, with out telling me your 12.
The world will definitely be the movie Idiocracy in only a couple years..
Any Daisy fans out there?
Hey Chris..you don't look 100% happy..lol..I'm willing to bet that you'll be putting vintage air back in the general..have fun Chris..
Everyone watched the Duke’s of Hazard to see Daisy!
Not true at all, I watched for the car and for Daisy! 🤷♂️🤦♂️🤌
Normally i like your bodge up skills, But im sorry i wouldnt fit that nonsense to any of my cars or trucks or anything else for that Matter, what a work up that is, manual valves random nobs and switches. No thanks buddy. 😱😉
It’s just a cheap option
@@junkerup I have a very high opinion of your work buddy, so you're are just letting yourself down with this lash up 😉😂😂😂.
Lash up is a British term just incase you're not sure, Yes I'm from blighty.
10th
U put in AC cause U lock down a big girl 🤣 meoow
