    Installation of air conditioning unit in 60

    Even though I have owned this car for 30 years I am new to the proper restoration world and need advise. As you may know these cars put out an abundance of heat. I placed dynamat in the car which has helped alittle. I have an air conditioning unit ordered for 2 months now and it has still not been shipped so I still have the option of cancelling and getting my money back.
    How much of a deduction will I receive if I ever get my car judged? Do you think it would be worth the hit?

    Recommend downloading the Judging Score sheets https://www.ncrs.org/membership/scoresheets.html and add up the points that would be lost on pulleys, fan belts, heater, under dash, etc. All the elements that the add-on air conditioning unit would impact. Gary....

        You say the dynamat only helped a little? Did you install it everywhere? I did that install on my 62 this past winter and it helped quite a lot.

          Terry, I placed the dynamat on the floor under the carpet. Are there other places it should be added?

            Did you go up and over the tunnel? Behind the radio console? My right foot used to get extremely warm after about a half hour of driving, since installing heat barrier, ( I bought mine at Summit Racing) I don't get the hot foot any more. Did you use the stuff that was mentioned in the Restorer?

              Terry, This is what I get for joining so late in life! I bought the dynamat before I joined the NCRS so I don't know if it is the same as what was mentioned in the Restorer. It is foil backed and I did place it behind the radio consol.
