Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

very nice jim did you get your vents done yet,the face plate is beautiful.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

sorry jim i bought your face plate already need just the 3 chrome vents if you have

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

i will get there again but things are moving slow right now. money is an issue. i just need more time. please bare with me

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!

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

I'm ready for a set of 2 1/4 side vents complete. What's your lead time and cost?

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

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
 

made some progress on the work room Sunday. now i need to run an air line to the room and i can start making parts again.


i was doing this at my friends that has helped me through this whole process. his mom got sick and he went back east to take care of her. so now im moving the operation to my house. im expecting to be in full motion by Christmas. getting started in a new location is costing me alot so please bare with me.

:metal:

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

I would like to purchase the small vents and have my AC balls chromed. Can you help me with this or get me in touch with your chrome service? Thanks! You work is impressive. I would like to see a part that mates the AC to factory vents. I hope vintage air works with you in the near future!

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

this Sunday John and I plan on installing the airline to my workroom. just one step closer to getting those parts to you guys. I will keep you informed with the progress.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

we finished most of the new air line system. should be done this Sunday if all goes as planned. then i can start making parts again. it takes alot more money than i thought to buy all that copper line. spent like $421 just on copper pipe.

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
 

okay I got my hot water heater in my house replaced got the rear end in my truck replaced and got the transmission in my truck rebuilt.it's time to get back on my feet again so I can focus more time now on the project. You have waited for so long I apologize it just seems like life keeps getting in the way.I'm going to be sending out some vents to get chromed this week remember its a five week turnaround. once those come back I'll have some parts for you guys.again my apologies for waiting so long and thank you for your patience.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

I'm glad to hear that you were able to make some progress and get some things accomplished. That's always a good feeling.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

Hell yeah :metal: those items breaking are enough to overfill someones stress limit. looks like you took care of business and got it done. Good Job.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

okay sent off enough vents to be chromed to make 3 complete assemblies plus some extra vents. i will let you know when i get them back and then i can ship soon after.

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.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

okay i think most people will want chrome. so that will be the default unless im told otherwise.


on another note the chrome guy emailed me and said he has started on the vents i sent him.:chevy:

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

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

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

I would like mine paintable to match the center vent

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

He does give me a little break and I'm trying to get a little more. since I'm sending him a lot of vents.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
