Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
I'm ready for a complete assembly once you have them. Are you planning to make any sort on plenum with a duct connection for the back side? I would want one as my application is custom, not using the factory AC system.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent

corvettejim1968, these things are works of art. You are doing a great job and I sincerely hope you make a lot of money filling this void in the 60-66 Chevy truck market.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
i had no intention of selling the vents raw (not chromed) but if for some reason you wanted them i can sell them at $25 each. or you can wait a couple months for the chromed ones at $50 each.
some seller on ebay said he is spending $75 per vent to have them stripped and rechromed. that sounds like alot to me.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
Just found this thread. Your work is top notch. Seems like a fair investment and the parts look good. Maybe some day I can get a complete set up from you.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
I'm sending off 4 round ball vents and one center vent to be chromed. I was told resin casted parts are harder to Chrome because of the mold release. so I had to soak them in purple power and then spray them off with carburetor cleaner. the chrome guy told me after that then I need to do a test with scotch tape to see how well it sticks. all is good on my end let's see how they turn out. unfortunately it's a five week turnaround but when I get them back I will have one complete ready to sell. after this first test I will make a whole bunch more so everybody gets one I have 11 people on my list so far let me know if you want a complete assembly and I will put you on the list.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
That smaller vent looks good.
I did a little online research on resin casting, just a question for you, what material are you using for the parts and for making the molds?

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
the side vents look great! so if the complete center is $300 what is it with the smaller vents? wondering what a total setup is going to cost me!!

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
im not sure just yet but for a complete set it will be a little cheaper than buying a piece at a time. most of my cost comes from having the parts chromed and the shipping.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
This is awesome! Excellent work. I just shared this link with a friend at Vintage air as this would be an amazing addition to their sure fit kits. I would love to see a complete modern AC kit with the original vent. Fantastic work stepping up & filling the void in the market. I know it will pay off for you.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
That red ball looks kinda neat in the housing. Could you do them in Black to save on getting them chromed if someone whated that option?
