A/C pump shield...rare? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**RenoKeene** · 06-30-2013, 11:47 PM

I thought I would have some fun with this but nobody wants to come out and play, so...
I spotted this in a 70, mine
is it rare? Yes, I made it yesterday.
South of the border? If that's where Folgers coffee comes from.
The GM decal is the center cut out of a washer bottle decal from Year One.
The 10 stamp is hand painted.
the ageing was done with scotchbrite, sandpaper and a fingernail.
the edging is small split vacuum line.

I had both battery cables off but failed to notice the screw in positive stud on the side and during mockup I arced the shield to the bracket and fried the compressor. Probably a couple hundred dollar screwup, so instead of smashing something I made this post to lighten things up.

The good thing is no more oil spatter on the inside of my hood and this thing looks like it belongs there.

If anyone took this too seriously, I apologize.

It looks like it belongs. I think it is just such an "odd duck" item no one knew what to say...

, great job! I was getting ready to say that it might be part of that rare "Corvette options" that we always hear about. OBTW, I think there might be a market for that.....
