Their customer service was very good to me. Shipped stuff out to me overnight when I found I needed something else to complete the conversion. Again it was a universal kit, so I expected some things to be missing or not quite right.

I was at the Shop and they do high end stuff down there in Tampa on Kennedy Blvd. Don't know about discounts. Price was fair. Several years of good cold trouble-free service. Feels good in Reno in August. There is an e body install somewhere on the web with detail. Could be cudakid or similar. Good luck.

It's good stuff from what I've seen, I didn't have any customer service problems since they were only about a mile from us at the time. I'm putting one of their A/C kits in the Dart when the time comes, I can't beat the price even if I use stock stuff.

When I wanted to return the stuff cause it wouldn't fit they wanted to charge me a 20% restock fee. I filed a dispute with my credit card company. They will never get another dime from me.

The price was 90 on the evap and 180 on the cond. My local shop charged 70 for both less paint. I had no shipping charges either. I thought they were high. I can do the work for that.

I have a 68 RR so maybe I won't see the Ebody issues but it is alot to spend if things aren't right. I understand how that would upset folks. I would be too!

Thanks guys Ask Tim NAS Backyard on his classic kit. From what he told me it went very well. He did have an issue which was resolved on the compressor mounting bracket kit. I plan on using them. Dont count on any discounts.
