I'm on the list for a complete set. Are you wanting us to grab the center vent only when available? If so, i'll take a center vent if you have one available.

2nds side vent blow out sale.

any pair of side vent balls $20 shipped in the USA. (regular raw price is $50)
side vents are 2 1/2 in.

most of the defects are on the back side.
i can tell you where to buy the housings.
you will need to clean and sand the parts for chroming or painting.

Can you put me on the list for a full set of everything too.

I didn't read through this whole thing, can you tell me are all the vents chromed and installed ready to go with the full kit?

I put VA in my truck that never had AC, so need everything to do it like factory plus the side vents.

Not to annoy, but is there approximate ship dates?

I think I need to visit nsb29 for his a/c vent box too.

Thanks!

okay you guys are on the list.

corvettejim1968 10-12-2016 09:12 AM

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 
just putting this out there again. if you dont want or need the vents in chrome then I can sell you the assembly much faster. most of the time in less than one week. just PM me if interested.

corvettejim1968 11-11-2016 09:17 AM

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 
so I have some good news. because my roommate and I work so many hours these last few months we have not had the time that the vent project requires. so I'm hiring another person to help. this should ramp up production and get your parts sooner.

earl84 11-12-2016 11:24 AM

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 
That is good news, because I'd love to get my side vents installed before next summer! Good luck.

roll_the_dice 11-12-2016 12:27 PM

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 
I have bought everything from you except the side vents...so I am stoked! Hope you still have me on the list in my original spot. Thanks!

nsb29 11-12-2016 10:53 PM

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 
patiently waiting

Corvettejim1968, yeah i saw your location and thought what are the odds. I walk the Saturday car show over on 67th ave and Bell every now and again w/ the fam. Haven't been on here for a while. Been busy moving into a new place.

But let us know when you start getting more products in. I'm more interested in the outer dash vents. BUT as i say this I am sure my center plastic housing is saying nah, crack. Thanks and keep up the nice work

Hey, new to this post and saw all of this great info fro the AC system. I'm in the same boat as some others wanting to get the full set of everything too.
I would also prefer the vents to be chromed as well. I'm picking up a 65 this weekend and there's no AC in it and here in SC it's pretty much a must have item. So I'll be needing an entire kit.

Having read through most of this, I love the idea of the factory look way much better. Anyhow, can you give me a cost on all the items and how long the lead time would be? This'll also include the side vents as well.

Thanks and impressive work.

corvettejim1968 12-21-2016 09:23 AM

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 
so i have some bad news and good news. i have a new job and work a ton of hours so i have no time to prep the parts for chroming. its not a big deal when you prep 5 parts but when its over 100 i just dont have the time. so i will no longer offer chromed parts. but with that said i will offer prep instructions and a company that chromes plastic. there is only a few in the country that i have found. you prep the parts or pay more to have them do it and ship them out and them come back nice and shiny. the good news is i can get your raw parts to you much faster like in a couple weeks instead of months on end. i will email people on the list starting at #1 as i have your orders ready.


thank you all for the interest and support on this project over the last 2 1/2 years.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 
Congrats on the new job...Still want the side vents and hope I am close to the top. When you ship please make sure the instructions for prep and the chrome companies are included with contact info for them. Thanks again for all your hard work and have a Merry Christmas.

corvettejim1968 12-24-2016 12:27 PM

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 
Jim,
Put me down for two side vents please.
Sucks you're no longer offering the chrome but surprised you put up with it that long. I would think there would be a simpler way nowadays.


PM when your ready for payment and shipping. Awesome work...keep on keeping on!

corvettejim1968 01-16-2017 10:35 AM

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent

corvettejim1968, I am somewhere on that list but I am in no hurry if there are plenty more in front of me. Mine could wait until even this summer if need be. I'm easy with that stuff. Thanks and keep up the good work.
