I swear I didn't do it!

You never know what you'll find under the paint.  It appears that there was a good side swipe on the right side.  I swear I didn't do it!

Vintage Air AC

Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model.
