I did it on the factory system in my '66 some years ago (long since sold). Worked like a charm.

Beautiful car... can't wait to see it finished!

Thanks for your suggestion. I have talked to a local A/C shop that has been around for years and they said that they can help me with that. Plan on running R12 also in hopes of being able to hang meat up inside the car.

Going to run 200 mph with the A/C on.:)

It's 10'3". I'm only 5'8" and it works great. I think up to about a 6' tall person would work ok with a car like this.

My calculations too Rick. I have 124" and it looks very close. Car looks superb!

Oooh. those are my sizes. What width rims are you mounting them on? If 9" and 10" I could you some measurements after you get them mounted.

Edit:
I found it earlier in your thread.

When you get them mounted I'd love to see the width at the widest part measurement.
