help a buddy

Crusin buddy rerouted some a/c lines (high pressure to dryer) and needed a little clamp to secure it from vibrationj... Fabbed this up for him
It bolts to the air dam and secures the line 2.5 inches in front of it.

Looks like your buddy has a Coral 55 Chevy. It's nice you can help him fix his AC. We would be slow to fix it here in 5°F!

I like it. I have a copper colored '55 Chevy parked beside my '54 F-100 in my garage. I built both of them (with lots of help from friends). Steve
