There are all kinds of cool. The first is a car that looks it (which we think we have with the Goodmark Camaro/Super Chevy Tour car). The second is a car that runs cool. We've got that pretty well covered with the almost 600 hp World Products engine coupled with the radiator built by U.S. Radiator and backed by the Flex-a-lite fans. The last kind of cool is the one that we are hitting in this article. Creature comforts.
We have heat and sound deadening from Dynamat, custom seats from SCAT, ACC carpet, PUI interior, and a Just Dashes dashpad, which have been installed by Tim's Auto Upholstery and Dale Etheredge. We have a serious sound system from Clarion installed by Traffic Jams. The one thing we don't have at this point is heat and A/C.
You can't look cool if you are "glowing" as you get out of your car. Vintage Air has taken care of that problem for us. Their products look good and go in easily. Even better, the system works!
