Negatory. Car's been down for the count for a year now. About a month or two from completion now, just awaiting a few more parts and then it's fabrication time.

I'll pm you my #. I'm free all day until around 6.

I charged mine and it lasted for awhile, but when summer hit it started blowing hot air again. I think there is a leak going to my compresser. If you want to get your car charged for $25 there is a guy that sits outside Autozone off of Belleire and hwy 6. It only took his around 10 mins or so to do mine.

One of those $20 cans has kept me blowing cold for a year now but ultimately a bad compressor lead to leak which I am replaceing this weekend. (Front seal started going out causeing oil to leak on the belt causing it to squeaks at Idle i picked me up a new GM compressor for $420 and am installing it this weekend.

BIG THANKS TO MIKE2KZ! You spent all damn day over here working on my ride for me and I really appreciate it!

I found out it's my gf's sister's b-day tomorrow night, of course I JUST found out about it a little while ago, but anyway, we're going to Mo's around 9:30 if you wanna come. I owe you some drinks for sure

And I'll pick up that stuff we talked about as well.

Thanks again Mike!!!!

No prob bro. Didn't have anything else to do so thought I'd help out and get back to wrenching on an fbody since I'm still awaiting parts for mine What better way to spend a Thursday than fixing a car and getting to know your fellow 'Techers?

Yeah I'm for sure. Wanna meet up for those parts before Mo's? Or I suppose I can bring them with me, if I can fit them. What ever you want.

Hope you can make the game Saturday.
