[ms2335]

I want one if you start selling

[ChefCy]

i will cut up my dash in my 63. i want one.

[corvettejim1968]

im not sure yet on what to charge. after all is said and done i will have invested about $1062.00 to get to the first part complete. not to mention the countless hours of research and development...trial and error over the last 3 months.

[yelmer]

very nice keep up the good work!!!

[Captainfab]

Those parts all look to be very very nice. Good job on taking the initiative to get these done and producing such nice pieces. Are these being made on a 3D printer?

[pimpston65]

please sir pay the supporting membership fee and stop teasing us u see there is a great market and if you can keep ur price point within DIY budget as most of us tend to do most if not all the work on these build to save $$$$ hope u sell a bunch to the members before you go main stream and the price pushes past most budgets, thks and nice piece. ps i for real about the rubber mats

I think that is a very reasonable amount to spend to get something reproduced from start to finish. This should be very profitable

no these are resin casted right here in the good ol U.S.A.

[corvettejim1968]

okay I'm thinking if you want the entire assembly that will include the face plate the 2 vent ball mounts all 3 vents (chromed) the felt and the hardware $300

chromed vents will be $50 each. it costs a lot just to get them chromed.

ball mounts $20 per set.

face by itself $150

if you want the felt i just buy it from Brothers its $17.97 a set. i will buy it for complete sets only.

let me know if that sounds reasonable.

i think the first complete assembly will be ready in about 2 months. the face plate by itself could be ready next week as well as the ball mounts. the vents take 5 weeks to get back from the chromer and i have not started on the center vent yet.


PM me if you want to place an order and or availability

[pimpston65]

so the items are for sell right? ok what do you mean ball mounts, is that both for $20? is so i'll take a set!!!

[ms2335]

[pimpston65]

[ChefCy]

[Johnny087]

I am in. I am running an aftermarket old air kit. Anyone have pictures of how the duct work attaches

[Captainfab]

I think that is very reasonable. I don't have the extra funds right now, but hopefully in 2 months I will.

[cortcomp]

I am in for a faceplate.

[66chevy43]

I'm interested! Good job and way to fill a need!

[1971 GMC SHORTY]

I'll Take a face plate

[jonathan-m]

Do you have pictures of the full face plate installed on a truck yet?

Also, for your own sake you really will want to get rid of the chevy logo or figure out the licensing for that; my understanding is they come down on reproduction companies quite quickly for unlicensed use of that logo.

[corvettejim1968]

no installed pics yet. i don't have a/c in my truck. this is the reason i wanted to do this project. ill try to make this short. my wife left me last year and I'm still in the house. i don't make enough money to live here by myself so i had to get roommates. when the roommates pay on time its okay but not a great situation. Ive been wanting a/c in my truck ever since i bought it and when i was married i could save the money to do it. well as I'm sure you can guess all that money is gone and i have been selling all my stuff to make ends meet and to fund this project. this part I'm making could be a big help. even if i sell 3 in a month i will be fine. sorry to give you all my sob story but this is my motivation. and yes i still want a/c in my truck Phoenix is one of the hottest cities on the planet.

[lee64]

Count me in as well. Haven't found even an a/c truck with the vent gone out of it around here. Lee

[earl84]

Sorry about the personal situation with the wife, I know how it feels. Best of luck with this, I think you have found a niche that will pay off well for you. I will be needing some of these when you get ready to take them to market.

[ms2335]

I would also like to see how the duct attaches to the vent in the back
