PM me if interested and Happy new year to all.

Jim,
Thanks for that panel doesn't fit the gmc dash boards like I was kinda hoping but that's ok it wont go to waste lol I found another spot to put it in that will work beautifully! take an eyeball and the preliminarys

now and interesting question for you Jim after I get the mods done for this setup could I send you a template back for a possible recast or however you do this magic with a few more mods I am going to make for mine? these vents in the picture say they are a 2.706 diameter I am trying to find out from vintage air what the hole size is for them. I have this style in my daily driver and love them!

corvettejim1968 · 01-20-2015, 12:52 PM

okay I got my hot water heater in my house replaced got the rear end in my truck replaced and got the transmission in my truck rebuilt.it's time to get back on my feet again so I can focus more time now on the project. You have waited for so long I apologize it just seems like life keeps getting in the way.I'm going to be sending out some vents to get chromed this week remember its a five week turnaround. once those come back I'll have some parts for you guys.again my apologies for waiting so long and thank you for your patience.

**Captainfab** · 01-21-2015, 01:12 AM

I'm glad to hear that you were able to make some progress and get some things accomplished. That's always a good feeling.

Mjminino · 01-24-2015, 06:57 AM

Hell yeah

those items breaking are enough to overfill someones stress limit. looks like you took care of business and got it done. Good Job.

corvettejim1968 · 01-24-2015, 03:18 PM

okay sent off enough vents to be chromed to make 3 complete assemblies plus some extra vents. i will let you know when i get them back and then i can ship soon after.

corvettejim1968 · 01-24-2015, 06:31 PM

i need your opinions. on the custom 2.5 in vents im making would you want the bezel to be chrome like this one or black so you can paint it dash color.?

the original face plate is Fawn with the vents only in chrome so to follow suit im painting my black bezel Fawn to stick with the original theme. but i still want some outside thoughts. try and picture the vent chrome this reddish pink one is my prototype and i dont have any in chrome for pics yet.

66pnl · 01-24-2015, 10:38 PM

I would like chrome, my project is more custom than resto. I'm gonna need 4 when I get that far. 2 in the center and 1 at each end.

corvettejim1968 · 01-28-2015, 08:23 AM

okay i think most people will want chrome. so that will be the default unless im told otherwise.

on another note the chrome guy emailed me and said he has started on the vents i sent him.

Mjminino · 01-28-2015, 08:48 AM

Do you get a discount with the chrome guy since you send him so much work?

jhrusk · 01-28-2015, 12:32 PM

Cool to see you are still going on these I use to do a lot of urethane casting for work producing short runs of prototype parts from silicone tools It's hard work but satisfying when you produce the prefect part.

Have you tried using some anti foaming agent in the urethane such as http://www.bjbenterprises.com/af-4/ It could help lower your failure rate by reducing air bubbles in the urethane before you pour and it also helps it to degas it faster. I have no association with BJB but have just used the product in the past and it does help.

Also if you polish the pins they will pull out of the casting with less resistance or risk of cracking the casting. Keep up the good work cheers
