great thank you. i deliver mail for a living so i get to the post office every morning about 7am i will send it out today.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

made the first vent balls today. experimented with color to try and make the face plates as close to original as possible. the top pic is the original face plate color with my vent ball color coming in close. a few more and i think it will be a close enough match.

You're doing some very nice work here. You obviously have a lot of experience in mold making and resin casting.

Are you aware that the pics you posted in the beginning of this thread are no longer visable?

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

thank you. i really only started learning 3 months ago. but i have dedicated every weekend to this project.

fixed the pics thanks for telling me.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

If you don't mind my asking, how or where did you learn resin casting? It is something that has interested me in the past.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

A member of the car Model club im in is teaching me.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

Hey. I'm interested in a center vent. I can pm my information.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

i have not started the center vent yet. but i will put you on the list.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

i have another 2nd face plate. $50 pm me if interested.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

Jim-
I received my faceplate yesterday, and I have to say that if it's a "factory second" faceplate, than I cannot imagine what the others look like. That piece is nice! Well done, sir!!

I too, am a stickler when it comes to my parts, and this piece is the real deal and passes my test.

Guys, if you want a kickass part for the money, Jim is your guy.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

Sent a PM to buy the molded 2nd plate. Thanks

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

Sounds great. Thanks.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

No 2nds . I guess that means I'm getting better at making these.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

the center vent turned out great.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...pse4f02bc9.jpg

now i need to make 12 sets of vents send them off to get chromed thats a 5 week turn around and then i can sell the complete assembly.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

I'm ready for a complete assembly once you have them. Are you planning to make any sort on plenum with a duct connection for the back side? I would want one as my application is custom, not using the factory AC system.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

After the first wave of complete units. my intention is to replicate the ductwork behind the vent inside the dash.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

corvettejim1968, these things are works of art. You are doing a great job and I sincerely hope you make a lot of money filling this void in the 60-66 Chevy truck market.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

i had no intention of selling the vents raw (not chromed) but if for some reason you wanted them i can sell them at $25 each. or you can wait a couple months for the chromed ones at $50 each.

some seller on ebay said he is spending $75 per vent to have them stripped and rechromed. that sounds like alot to me.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

so nice!!!

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

I am in for two ball vents and the center vent as soon as ready

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

i ordered a set of these vents this morning. when the come in i will cut out the center and add in our "correct" truck vent ball center and then cast that part and offer 2 1/2in vent balls for the sides of the dash for that custom but yet look like it came factory look. this is what im doing to my truck someday.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

Jim-
If you need an original duct to use as a pattern to make your new one, PM me.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

thank you for the offer. i do have one. this might take some time because its big and im not sure i can even make one yet. the small parts are not so bad.

Jim

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

Just found this thread. Your work is top notch. Seems like a fair investment and the parts look good. Maybe some day I can get a complete set up from you.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

Nice work! I'll definitely be watching the progress on these!
