Re: Tami's 51 build

The ac vents were really simple, just time consuming... cut a hole, ran 1/8" round rod on the edges , and welded 1/8" x 1/2" flat for the louvers, just put 7/16 nuts between the slats for even spacing and just kinda "tilted" them like a stack of dimes for a nice angle, and tacked them in place. then just built boxes out of 20 ga. with 2" muffler pipe to attach to vent hose, and drilled a hole through from the front of the dash put a screw in and welded it flush to make a stud from behind. there is a factory fold in the bottom of the dash that holds the bottom of the vent box in place..only needed the one stud to bolt it from the top.

can post close pics if you like..
