Yeesh indeed. The only thing that is changed is the use of vintage air's generic  laser cut Sanden compressor bracket to ease that part of the fab and my new found love for EZ-Clip AC hose fittings so I can make my own hoses more easily. The hoses are also smaller and have a  tighter bend radius. Still pricey'r than generic crimp hose and fittings but worth it.

Ya, we will have to talk more later...

Did you look at the restomod air? Looks a bit more compact and bt remote wirh your cellphone.

Yikes... that is crazy expensive!

My estimation is that a vintage air unit, will run around $1-1.1k in parts, I just ordered a gen 2 mini Evap/blower unit for $400 off eBay, gonna put it all together myself.

I was reading this thread out of idle interest and decided to check out Jim's recommendationre the EZ-Clip hose fittings.  Look's like a great solution for aftermarket AC installers.  Check out this Eaton Corp. video for details...
