Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent

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.

I love that idea. I love it when things look factory, but aren't. I think I have a pair of '67-'72 outer dash A/C bezels in my parts stash if you want to use them as prototypes to start with. I don't have the vent balls, though. They're yours if you want 'em.
