i worked on the side vent mold this weekend for about 5 hours. I'm half way done with it now.

corvettejim1968 · 08-17-2015, 06:58 PM

The new side vent mold is done hopefully can start manufacturing parts tomorrow

MalibuKasey · 07-24-2015, 12:54 PM

I had some setbacks with the side vents so its going to be a few months. I need to make a whole new master part and then make a mold

corvettejim1968 · 07-24-2015, 02:39 PM

i have one pair of original chromed vent balls. any of you that want to send me your old original vent balls i will sell them at half price with your trade-in. they look awesome.

Hi
Thanks for the side vent balls, so the housings i had fell apart and no amount of glue will help it!! Do you have a pair (side vent housings) for sale? 2end grade would be ok as long as they are functional.
Thx

raic65 · 09-29-2015, 05:45 PM

Thanks Jim. Great workmanship.

Jim
The new center assembly and side vents are fantastic. I am looking at picking up both but can you enlighten me on how to run extra hoses and tap into the OE factory a/c to make this work? I have not seen that on the blog anywhere. Is there a previous link/ Thanks....

I have yet to see anybody tap into an original air conditioning system to run the two extra hoses. I am confident that with some mechanical skills and some ingenuity it can be done. When I came up at the side vents I was actually intending them to work with the Vintage Air or something like that.

Jim, interested in the raw packaged deal. Still some available?

MalibuKasey · 10-06-2015, 06:35 PM

Im itching for the side vents. Last piece of the puzzle!

Adam1966C10 · 12-21-2015, 10:56 PM

www.chrometechusa.com is the place Jim recommended to me.

corvettejim1968 · 01-04-2016, 08:10 AM

just an update. im working on making some new molds. and again if anybody does not mind getting your parts in raw you can send them out yourself to have them chromed. this way you dont need to wait so long.

corvettejim1968 · 01-20-2016, 08:13 AM

still working on the smaller side vents mold. im building up the material to oversize the part because of the shrinkage issue im having. layer after layer this is a long process but in the end it will make a nicer part. Im a perfectionist i just cant help it.

earl84 · 01-21-2016, 10:30 AM

Can't wait until the side vent balls are in stock. The center vent is very nice, so I'm sure these will be quality as well. Plus, they look WAY cooler than the Vintage Air lower dash panel that is currently installed.

corvettejim1968 · 02-04-2016, 02:02 PM

this is what your vents could look like if painted.

sampsmit000 · 02-04-2016, 04:38 PM

What paint did you use? How long until the chrome ones would be ready?

**nsb29** · 02-04-2016, 05:27 PM
