I have been following this thread with keen interest. Did you know that they are still making R-12? Yes, its true...just think, they build these huge buildings on top of huge A/C units. Do you think it is easy to change these out? Enough of the raising the hackle stuff. Here's my question.... In my youth I had a certain disdain for A/C and Chrome(both did not make you go any faster!LOL) so I am a little lost when it comes to A/C parts. Where do you get hoses?There is a place in LA that will make them, but their prices fluctuate a lot from when you ask for an estimate and when you have to pick them up Thanks Thad the ImpPoster __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
