- clean vibes man...
Instead of a mixture of hose clamps and AC beadlock fittings commonly found on aftermarket A/C kits - use crimpable heater hose fittings. They are available from several A/C retrofit companies and are a great way to avoid using hose clamps and make your firewall look nice and clean. Or you can easily hide them inside a fender or way up underneath a dashboard like we have on our LS swapped 1963 Buick Riviera.
Just as an FYI these fittings are actually the slim or reduced barrier AC hose fitting if you're having trouble find them. These fittings are the best thing I've found instead of hose clamps and they look great too!

I'm not sure WHY u don't have a huge following. Ur pretty entertaining. And informative. When I first saw ur vid I thought u were on TV. Then I saw your subscribers. Hummmmm maybe u need catch phrases on your thumbnails. Good luck.
Daaaaw thanks buddy! Nope, just an idiot on TH-cam, can you believe they let anybody just post videos these days? Unbelievable…
Fittings flow nice good. Make shrink pretty. Supreme yes.
Ahhhh Nacho Taco, that’s my favorite of the Bell grande episodes. Very good dining movie, I guess
Hi Matthew my power steering fuild is leaking out the crimps.what kinda of clamps can I use to tighten crimps to stop the leak or how can i tighten another way too thank you
Great video. This is exactly what I’m wanting to do. I’m having trouble finding them. Do you know the part number or have a link?
They are hard to track down because so many things come up on a search for “crimp heater hose fittings”. Here’s a link to the company I always buy mine from. nostalgicac.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Crimpable+heater
What die do you use for 5/8 heater hoses?
Just standard Gates heater hose - don’t use their nicer green stripe or whatever it is they call it. The diameters are different. Just the regular stuff at O’Reillys works best.
Thanks for the load! And the new lights look great. How do you like them? Do they put out enough light?
I LOVE THEM! I was worried they’d flicker or have refresh rate issues on camera but they are solid performers and plenty of light. If I was to do it again I might not do the perimeter rectangle, it was a pain to keep it straight and square but they light it up so well on along the walls - so catch 22 haha. I also think hexagon pods around a larger garage would be awesome. Here the link to them, they were on eBay.

Keep an eye out! There’s an install video coming soon
Could you better show how this connects to the heater hose connections coming out of the firewall?
I forgot to say FUNNY 🤣
You're awesome!
dude those garage lights are super cool where’d you get them
They are amazing! They light the garage up without being blinding - I’m actually making a video about them that’ll release soon. But here’s the link to their eBay listing.

Yes! You should totally make a video on them. They look sick.
Will do buddy! Expect it in the next few weeks.
Why not just use two or three hose clamps and tighten them down? Easy and cheap, no special tools are needed
Nothing wrong with that and most of the builds I just use that but nothing wrong with something that looks clean as hell and is a couple dollars more.
