I love the instructions below the A/C Controller.

the side vents look great! so if the complete center is $300 what is it with the smaller vents? wondering what a total setup is going to cost me!!

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

im not sure just yet but for a complete set it will be a little cheaper than buying a piece at a time. most of my cost comes from having the parts chromed and the shipping.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

i made the first half of the smaller vent ball mold over the weekend. i should be able to finish up the top half next Sunday.

LOOKS GREAT!!! Can't wait to get mine. Guess now I need the three vents for the center faceplate and two side vents when available.

corvettejim1968 I don't know how I miss this thread, But I got to say your the man....... these look great! this does give me some ideals. I do have one question where did you get your vent balls chromed?

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

This is awesome! Excellent work. I just shared this link with a friend at Vintage air as this would be an amazing addition to their sure fit kits. I would love to see a complete modern AC kit with the original vent. Fantastic work stepping up & filling the void in the market. I know it will pay off for you.

He did tell me in post 125. :lol:

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

That red ball looks kinda neat in the housing. Could you do them in Black to save on getting them chromed if someone whated that option?

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

this message is for corvettejim1968 I am very interested in purchasing the complete center ac vent diffuser for a64-66 c10 truck could information to jmathieu@sbcglobal.net or my phone 708 829 4771 thank you john mathieu

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

sure if you wanted them black i could just dye them that color and you would get your parts alot faster too.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

so the last vent ball i made is 2 1/4 tall. i just got a new one in today that is 2in tall . i will start the mold for it this weekend. now we will have a couple choices for the small vent balls on the outer sides of the dash.

Wow!!! Just stumbled on this. I need a set of those side vents! Let us know when they are ready! Nice work!!!

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

got the first half of the new smallest vent ball mold done. looks like i cant find the center vent clip so i am going to try and cast it as well. we may have to glue it in on final assembly but I'm sure it will work just fine. i will keep you all posted. and thanks again for the kind words.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

Man, so glad I was just browsing the FAQ section which led me to thinking about another member. When I searched his posts, I came upon this thread. I remember seeing some talk from a couple folks about making this happen, but I'm so glad to see it's working out for you! Luckily for me, my dad found an original in good shape from an A/C cab he bought a while back. If I end up needing anything though, I know where to look. Congrats, & keep up the nice work!

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

did some more work on the 2in vent ball mold today.

made the 1st clip and it was too thin. it did not grab tight enough. so i made another mold and made it about 3 times as thick. because its resin and not metal it did not stay when you pushed on the center vent. so i drilled a couple of holes for the "teeth" to drop into and it came out perfect. the next faceplate mold i will make it will have the holes in it . this is taking me longer than i thought. its allot more work than i expected but i am making progress every weekend. please bare with me.

I have to say, your work is Simply amazing. And here thought I really was doing good when I filled a shifter ball full of epoxy, rubbed a little grease on the shifter handle, and held it in place while the epoxy cured so I could 'adapt threads' hahahaha.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

thanks for the compliment I had a good teacher so I need to give him credit for taking me under his wing.
