Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
it looks like everybody wants the raw unpainted face plate so this is what it will look like complete.

Fastenal would be a great start, and check with a large body shop, they have vendors that deal only in automotive fasteners

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
I know 2 guys wanting a 64-66 factory ac center vent system installed in their cab to retro fit a new vintage ac system under the dash and distribute air just from this vent outlet. I would suggest talking directly with Vintage Air and see if you can work a faceplate and a plenum adaption piece or modification duct to clamp their hoses directly to them so it works directly off their system. That would be a clean factory style in dash look and modern ac. Mark

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
This exactly what I was going to do. Modern components and use the old vent system

Wow Jim, that vent turned out beautiful! That's some nice work, especially the crispness and sharpness of the dimensions and the embossed bowtie in the center.
I hope you sell a ton of these and make a pile of dough. You deserve it. You stepped up to the plate and made a part that we all wished would someday happen. Prototyping parts isn't easy or cheap, and it looks like you'll get your ROI (Return On Investment) quickly. That's really cool. Quote:

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
Thank you all for the positive feedback. its a hard road getting to a good part that is worth selling. i have made 8 face plates so far and only 2 worthy of selling in my opinion. maybe im a little picky but i cant help it im a perfectionist when it comes to my work. again thanks i will try and do a good job for you all and get you a quality product.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
I too need one of those clips for one of my spare vents. Also where are you sourcing the balls and the center pot metal part, I need a couple of pot metal pieces replated but if you can buy them I would rather just do that.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
i should be working on the vent balls this weekend. i think the center vent is going to be very challenging.
|
Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
Were going to have to get together sometime...

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
Got my faceplate the other day, fantastic work! No casting flash, ready to paint, seems less brittle than my oem one! Will paint it this week and move my hardware over, pretty excited to get one thats not cracked and corners gone.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
worked on the vent ball mold today. we`ll find out next weekend how it turned out. crossing my fingers never made a sphere before.
|
Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
put me down for two spheres when they are done. Great job!

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
making some headway on the face plates and vent ball mounts.the ones on the far right are an example of not every part turns out good.
