i cant see why it would not work. I have a 65 with very little options. I want to do a Vintage air IV but with factory vents and not the under dash after market vents. this is the reason I started this project to begin with. after I realized I could make the center vents and I saw some other members using after market side vents I was like "I can make those but look factory" so here I am.

Hey corvettejim1968, glad to see you have perservered through some trials and kept this going. Just checking to be sure I am on your list, looks like I sent you a request around May8, 2014. I deleted the original I sent to you, but I do have a response from you on May 8. I'll be looking for the entire package deal at $400 that you mentioned. Looking forward to a Vintage Air install in a few months. Not 100% sure how it will all hook up to this system, but will figure it out. Has anyone else figured it out that you know of?

I'll echo the 'atta-boy' . . .... Glad to see you continued pushing forward.

Also, it's amazing how remaining in constant contact to communicate delays in the process helped keep those interested patient, informed, & understanding. Others would be wise to follow that format.

I didn't get on the list back then but have been watching progress & I'm still interested.

x2!!

thank you all again. this has been alot harder than i anticipated but i know it will be worth it in the end. most of the problem is making a good part. alot of them have flaws and im picky. the other problem is the 5 week turnaround from the chrome guy. i wont let you down its just going to be a slower process than i want it to be thats all.

[corvettejim1968]

look what came in the mail today. i can start shipping Friday.

Bless you Jim for your service to our country and all this amazing work! I have a 66 that I am tearing down and it has no AC, just an ashtray and a pull knob for heat. I was thinking the AC will be a future add on but you have me wondering whats the best approach now. I need to figure out what cuts to maybe make now as I am having the cab sand blasted and fixing up. I was about to give up hope on having a factory looking ac on the dash. Great to know you are on this!

[corvettejim1968]

im going to try and have 1 on ebay at all times but the price will be much higher. if you get it here its $300 for the center assembly. i want you guys to have the better pricing.

Jim,
I believe I am on you list, if not will you please add me? If you have any extra small side vents (pair) I would like to get them even if you don't have a complete set to ship. I am at the point in painting my cab where I would like to get them mapped out. Thanks as well for your awesome work and photos to show the process.

Excellent idea.

[corvettejim1968]

if anybody wants to purchase original vent balls rechromed I can give you more money for your trade in old original vent balls. I will give 50 dollars for each original trade in vent ball for the purchase of original rechromed vent balls.
