I called ICE auto air and the owner

said he did not have the components to build a kit,

He said “maybe late January “

there must be another “kit” ?

I already know that many of you

will suggest I gather the parts from

various sorces but that is not

what I’m going to do.

thanks

I would get in touch with @Sharktrainer to find out his experience with that kit.

I have a ICE Auto Air kit installed and I like it a lot.

it is not hot right now, you can’t charge it up until things warm up anyway.

Put a kit on order and install it in the spring.

An ICE A/C system is essentially a new and complete Clardy system (assembled by a former installer of Clardy A/C systems): you don’t have to worry whether the 40-year-old plastic is too brittle or the fan is nearing the end of its life. So I think that that’s good!

 

When I purchased a condenser, auxiliary fan, and compressor from ICE in 2011, however — I was originally planning to convert my ‘76’s 1976 Clardy from R12 to R134a — I was frankly shocked to receive a non-parallel-flow condenser from him, no larger than my original Clardy condenser, along with an off-brand auxiliary fan, and an allegedly NOS Sanden compressor no longer in its original box. Given I was paying $1,800 for these three underwhelming components (maybe $300 worth of components), I immediately sent them back. I have heard he’s supplying a parallel-flow condenser these days, but I don’t know that from first-hand experience.

 

Regards,

 

Steve

I appreciate all the recommendations for ICE 

i tried to purchase a kit from him this morning but was told he is going on break for several weeks 

as Christmas holiday. Further he

informed me that he needed components to assemble a kit

abd they were not available until the end of January.

this is the reason why I’m seeking 

alternatives

Wait! You’ve got the slowest painter? I thought I had the slowest painter! ?

 

September 2015 to June 2018 for the ‘76’s Big Re-Paint. No mechanical work, no interior work, no rotisserie. Just a very good re-paint.

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

No way! Thats ridiculous at best. Did you hire a team of sloths?

You definitely found the worlds slowest painter.

Are you working on the “just work on it when you have time”plan?
That is usually cheapest, but it does take FOREVER!

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
