Tucked a few things, engine bay looking cleeeeeaaaaaan!

Built a new set of AC lines, relocated the PS resi and coolant overflow, came out pretty sweet. Obviously it's not completely finished yet, and you can see the coupler for the PS pipe isnt even connected, but I wanted to see what you guys thought.

Very nice, did you do the AC lines yourself or have a shop build them?

Very nice man! It's always nice when you can clean up the bay and tuck things away. Keep up the good work!

thanks guys! Im working on a reliable and cost effective way to bend this larger AC tubing while still keeping the cost down, and then Ill have something cool to show you all. The first lines were made with multiple 90 degree pieces while ideally the lines will be all one piece.

thanks Dutch Sauce! I'm thinking "Clean-up Kits" that come with a tucked coolant overflow that sits under the headlight, the PS relocation, and the tucked AC lines could be a pretty sweet product package to offer. The AC lines are plug and play using OEM compressor, condenser, and evaporator fittings too, so no modification is required for them. ACD cars may have a problem since the hardline runs right where these do, I am still working on something for that

Yes the lines were 100% designed, routed, and bent by me. I had a welder tack weld the pieces into place so that I could check for final fitment before the one piece versions are produced.
