[jeff_wilson70]

Thank you so much Jim!!!! This product is worth every penny. The vent kit helped me transform this....

That looks good Jeff. Would you be willing to part with that small heater only control panel and knob?

[roll_the_dice]

Looks good Jeff...how was the install?

[corvettejim1968]

i started making the center a/c vent for the 1965 Chevelle if you know somebody that needs one.

[jeff_wilson70]

Sorry Been away for a while

Aggie91. I happened to give the panel, switch and cable away to another member of the board. Sorry, would have been happy to part with it.

roll_the_dice. The install was a breeze. Jim provides a template to cut out the dash around the ashtray. The only issue I had was that the side vents are for the larger hoses (defroster size) while my aftermarket AC (OldAir Products) had the small hoses. I just made a little adapter from a pvc fitting, epoxied it to the side vents and connected the smaller hoses to that. All in all it was a breeze. The hardest part was painting.....and that was due to my lack of skills

I live in Myrtle Beach and it gets pretty hot in the summer. I have an aftermarket AC and I also put sound deadener and jute under the new carpet, installed a new firewall pad and sealed every hole in the firewall (including the side vents. It gets super cold in there in short order.

i lost my contact info for the plastic AC vents to be chromed.
it was in Jims kit now i can find it.
can someone shoot over the info?

thanks!

[Clyde65]

That person retired, I do know there is a place in NY state that can do it. I’ll post it if I find it...

Found it!

[Afirehawk1]

quick question all.

the plating shop is asking what the material is and whether it was 3d printed??

over my head.

[Clyde65]

Jim will have to answer, I believe it is epoxy resin but not for sure.

The guy Jim recommended did mine and just asked if it was new material or not.

[Afirehawk1]

got it. i was able to text him.
he suggested to use Coat of Chrome in PA.

moving forward

My 1964 through 1966 AC vent kit comes with a template to cut the dashboard correctly like the factory. Also some recommendations on what color to use if you want it to look Factory stock. And it comes with a company that I highly recommend to get your vent balls chromed. The whole kit is $355.61 priority mail shipped to your door. That price include shipping if you're in the USA.

[studeclunker]

Just So I get this right, the nozzles aren't chromed when the assembly is ordered? So, I have to disassemble them and have it done myself?

[Clyde65]

Jim gives you a couple of companies that will do the chroming, there are a few different ways to accomplish the factory look.

Jim used to chrome them, however costs and delays on the chrome companies was putting him in a huge bind.

Chroming anything isn’t cheap, especially for a quality job.

PM/e-mail your pics to me. I'll post them up for others that will likely have similar questions.

[vet57air]

Has anyone tried chrome spray paint on the balls? Here is a test of manufacturers.

[vet57air]

Same guy did this video on the application of chrome paint. Vents would have challenges but I might try.

so I guess my Photobucket images don't work for this site anymore do you have any recommendations so that I can show you pictures since this website does not have a cell phone user-friendly application

[Clyde65]

Jim, I upload pictures from my phone all the time! What brand do you have? Android or IOS?
