Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent

Subscribing in on this thread. Been waiting for someone to offer a 'kit' that resembles the OE set-up. I really like that you went the extra step to create outer vents/balls to match the center vent/ball style. That's definitely cool in my book.

I need to look up Vintage Air kit info & see what their hose kits look like (to the outer & center vents). I'd like to see/understand what it will take to allow connecting everything.

Again.... Well done!

im not sure when i will have them at this time. I will have plenty of time to work on the project the last 3 weeks of the year (im off work) the total will be about $130.00 with the housings. I have not made or sold any so this is a close guess.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent

Jim,
Thanks for that panel doesn't fit the gmc dash boards like I was kinda hoping but that's ok it wont go to waste lol I found another spot to put it in that will work beautifully! take an eyeball and the preliminarys

Sean Wolff
now and interesting question for you Jim after I get the mods done for this setup could I send you a template back for a possible recast or however you do this magic with a few more mods I am going to make for mine? these vents in the picture say they are a 2.706 diameter I am trying to find out from vintage air what the hole size is for them. I have this style in my daily driver and love them!

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent

i need your opinions. on the custom 2.5 in vents im making would you want the bezel to be chrome like this one or black so you can paint it dash color.?

the original face plate is Fawn with the vents only in chrome so to follow suit im painting my black bezel Fawn to stick with the original theme. but i still want some outside thoughts. try and picture the vent chrome this reddish pink one is my prototype and i dont have any in chrome for pics yet.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent

I would like chrome, my project is more custom than resto. I'm gonna need 4 when I get that far. 2 in the center and 1 at each end.

Do you get a discount with the chrome guy since you send him so much work?
