1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

these things are very expensive and can be difficult to find in uncracked condition. so a friend of mine has been helping me make a new one. this new part is pretty amazing has the same flexibility as the original and you can boil it in water and does not even distort or warp it. i have the back pieces done also now working on the vent balls. this is the only pic so far but tell me what you think.

Awesome

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

There will definitely be a market!!....I'm in

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

Looks like money to me LOL

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

Yeah its costing me alot to make. Im in it for $935.80 so far.and 3 months of my time. Im hoping it will pay off in the end

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

Nice work

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

Looks great!!!
If the price is reasonable I would totally be interested..

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

Most don't realize the time factor in getting something like this done. That drives the price up to make it profitable.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

Are you going to sell the parts individually or as a package only?

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

First I need to get a part that's ready to sell. Then I need to contribute to the forum so that I can sell them legally here. Bu if there is just one piece that somebody needs I don't think it'll be a problem just selling one piece.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

This is pretty sweet, mine's cracked. I have the balls and center vents, but would like to eventually replace that center piece.

AFAIK, the mid 60's pontiac vent balls will work but are slightly different appearing, but i don't think anyone has come up with the center diffuser vent yet or one that will work in its place.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

first the part looks like a tan color.

then i use this plastic primer. its almost white with just a touch of gray. note... i put the can of primer in the sun for a while so it does not fish eye.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

I think you would sell a ton of unpainted ones, since so many of us have changed interior colors. Do the parts in the back attach the same way (they part with like felt that screws in and pinches the balls and keeps them tight)?

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

everything will be exactly the same to the best of my ability.
the screws and clip might be a little different but thats all.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

As long as it could be made to work with my existing parts, count me in! Minor differences don't matter :)

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

Any copyrights or trademark issues with the bowtie on it?

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

I really don't know but I would happily remove the bow tie if there are any problems. I am definitely not interested in getting in any trouble.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

I kind of like having the corner broken off...adds some style and patina points.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

i hope it all works out and don't want to see any troubles either. there is a large demand for them and it'd be nice to fill some of the voids where parts can be purchase that aren't currently reproduced or available in original form.

looking forward to seeing these parts in trucks and hope it all works, you've done a great job on the prototype!!

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

now all you gotta do is make the rubber floor mats and we'll all be good

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

the vent balls take 5 weeks to get chromed but they look awesome. i installed the felt and the balls are very tight. i know that sounds funny LOL. now i need to make the center vent. im hoping to have a complete one done in a couple of months or less.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

That is looking nice!

I need one of the main plastic pieces to replace my cracked one

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
 

I see the used ones on eBay getting much cheaper now that these are going to be available

You should be able to wholesale these to lmc, classic parts, truck shop, etc.
