Here is a immaculate 57 T bird, bought by the owners sons as a gift for there father, the car shows 37 K, so I was asked if I could install a A/C unit in the car, and I found a good unit that is fairly easy to install, they do offer a complete A/C heater unit but that is very labor intensive and you end up cutting the dash, so we went this unit and you could hang meat in the car it is ice cold, we went with a sanden compressor a universal mount condenser, we installed a small pusher fan in front of the condenser, mounted the dryer in s convenient spot, the man loves it as coming in tomorrow to pick his pride and joy up.

If you look below you can also see we replaced the OEM generator with a New GM Alternator with built in regulator this will increase voltage out put to help cover the AC blower and compressor.

Thanks John the car is a beauty, I have a question for you do you know when the D2 will have a upgrade disk for the map quest. I looked at a D3 today and punched in my phone number and the map came right up, but will not on the D2
