I was not having fun trying to get their hoses to fit & seal on the vents as well. i ended up using "alum. ducting tape.... again your solution looks ALOT better!
Thank you. Not much more added weight. They are only about 1 1/2” worth of .065 wall stainless tube. I thought that I would weld some nubs on the tube to help grip the hose but I test fitted the hose and secured it with a zip tie and you had to pull pretty hard to get it off so I decided the nubs weren’t necessary.

I had my son's help me with my 2 piece front windshield. We didn't do bad considering combined they had 0 yrs of experience. That is where a rusty/patina finish comes in handy.

Yea I drove my Jimmy around running errands as well and took my wife to dinner. It was nice to get a cruise in after a long winter.
