Vintage air wants close to $100 for some chrome plastic ones so I figured I would order these and see how they are. I must say they are pretty damn nice. I'm happy with them. They also turn side to side.

Nice. Are you going to mount them in the dash or under?

I added a panel to the bottom of my dash so that's where the vents are going to go.

Well the truck is completely apart. The frame is headed to the sand blaster and should be painted next week.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension

I got a bunch of stuff together to go to the polisher. Let's see how these shine after it's done.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension

Well the frame should have some paint on it in the next day or so. All of the welds have been cleaned up and some primer had been applied. The frame is going to look slick.

Some of my items that went to the polisher are getting finished. I've already posted a pic of my AccuAir Endo-VT tank. Here's a pic of my Raceline Burst 5 wheels.
