Creative thinking outside the box can really help in solving many problems and you have shown the ability to do this really well. Once again, you have illustrated how to modify and use available parts intended for something entirely different. Best of all the same process can be applied to any vehicle in need of something not available off the shelf. Mark another one up for Jo Daddy!
I love the MacGyver on the hose. I found the same issue that I could not use the "official" hoses or belts and had to rummage around my local Napa store to find something that worked. Just make sure you keep the numbers for future replacement , I created a log book for my glove box with parts that are not standard. Once again great ideas and guidance.
I used Old Auto Air Products. All the ac lines and heater lines go through the existing fan opening a lot less problems and lots of room. Great Video to help anyone putting in Vintage air system
another great vid barry, thanks. i really like that you share your thought process with these vids, its a process that can translate to many different problems we all face as car building addicts!
Super cool! As a thought, you might want think about some anti rubbing. I could see one of those hoses rubbing against the strut supports and springing a leak. It like I did that before. Killer set-up though, looking forward to the next post. Lonnie
Great video Barry! Appreciate those part numbers on the hoses. I'll use those exact same ones on my 68. Ironman looks good up there on the splash guard :)
Maybe a little bit "hacky" for Jade - but I've solved a world of heater-hose nightmares by basically fabricating them in copper pipe. A little soldering, then a short joint of hose on the ends, problems solved. Outlasted the cars, and everybody who saw the copper liked it.

scratching my head wondering why vintage air runs it like that. I have Classic auto air on my 69 and the lines are closer to the fender.
I really like your attention to the smallest detail.
Almost OCD ; )

I can't wait to put Vintage Air in my 68 - replacement for the factory air. I'll eventually put one in my 66 convertible too!

Barry, I love and appreciate your fabrication skills! The word "hack", would never apply to you sir. Cheers and blessings from Motown.
You should title this playlist "how to build a car in 80 easy steps"
Great stuff!!! Everything is coming along!!!!

hi barry the car is looking very good well dun
Thanks 👍
Thanks for the video you are great
dig in your kit . there is a bracket for the valve.
Thanks. I’ll check.
I'll take the blame for the melted valve...
😂
Excuse my ignorance, but why didn't Vintage Air supply the right hoses in the first place?
I’m pretty sure they don’t offer them.
