Just found your channel recommended by japhands. Well done , attention to detail. Have subscribed and will be checking out you other videos. Currently working on a 1948 Merc coupe. Have installed bbc 454, 9” ford rear end 3:73 posi, fatman mustang 2 frond suspension. Currently working on replacing rusted rockers.
Cool! Thanks for coming by! The Mercury sounds great, we have a 47 Ford Tudor that’s an ongoing build on this channel.
Gotta stay cool while looking cool
Cool fix😂😂
Nice job on the A/C. Nice ride.
18:28 Nice shop tool.
I worked for Cat dealer and used a large hydraulic unit to do the same thing.
Nice knee freezer! 😂
My lord, what a beautiful car!!
Thanks for sharing!
Love your crimping tool, gotta get one for the Humber rat rod AC install.
Good stuff, thanks.
Thanks Lee --- for the ---- COOL AIR ---- install ----- sure could have used some of that here today ----- BUT ---- I guess I'm glad I am not in Palm Springs at 117 for the past eleven days with nights at 80 ------ You got me on the Tranny swap ---- will be interesting to see the five speed put in and converting the rear end to open drive ----- See Ya then ---------- Rodney
Another great episode..looking fwd to the 5spd install behind the 41 flatty.
Coming soon!
That ride just gets sweeter. Very tidy installation. Is there such a thing as it won’t work. Maybe if I was doing it! When my run of bad luck ends I’ll be in touch. How’s little lux and mom doing? Tim.
Lux and mom are doing great!
Clean install.
I’m willing to bet that crimper can do power steering and hydraulic lines.
The crimp callipers are worth having. I used to use them when I did hydraulic lines at work. Helps avoid messy leaks.
Good call on the calipers
Now I’m wondering about getting a new compressor and lines for the 64 Galaxie. Mine has the factory under dash unit. The fan still works but the insides are a question mark. Great video you guys. Lucky car owner.
It would be great if you could keep that original under dash unit!
Awesome how you made the power steering bracket......
Thanks 👍
Really enjoyed the video. Can you provide any part numbers of the individual pieces that you used from the suppliers? I own a 1959 Ford Galaxie Skyliner that I am interested in adding air conditioning. The car has a FE390 from a 1965 Galaxie. Also running the factory power steering pump. Thank you in advance.
Hey! Unfortunately I no longer have the boxes with part numbers. I called Vintage Air and told them what I was working on, and they figured out everything I needed.
Hey Lee, I’ve seen these under dash units all my adult life, but not all of them were mounted level. Do they not work as well not level? Just curious. 👍🏻🤔

Nice knee freezer! 😂
