Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
sure if you wanted them black i could just dye them that color and you would get your parts alot faster too.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
got the first half of the new smallest vent ball mold done. looks like i cant find the center vent clip so i am going to try and cast it as well. we may have to glue it in on final assembly but I'm sure it will work just fine. i will keep you all posted. and thanks again for the kind words.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
Man, so glad I was just browsing the FAQ section which led me to thinking about another member. When I searched his posts, I came upon this thread. I remember seeing some talk from a couple folks about making this happen, but I'm so glad to see it's working out for you! Luckily for me, my dad found an original in good shape from an A/C cab he bought a while back. If I end up needing anything though, I know where to look. Congrats, & keep up the nice work!

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
did some more work on the 2in vent ball mold today.
made the 1st clip and it was too thin. it did not grab tight enough. so i made another mold and made it about 3 times as thick. because its resin and not metal it did not stay when you pushed on the center vent. so i drilled a couple of holes for the "teeth" to drop into and it came out perfect. the next faceplate mold i will make it will have the holes in it . this is taking me longer than i thought. its allot more work than i expected but i am making progress every weekend. please bare with me.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
I have to say, your work is Simply amazing. And here thought I really was doing good when I filled a shifter ball full of epoxy, rubbed a little grease on the shifter handle, and held it in place while the epoxy cured so I could 'adapt threads' hahahaha.

Re: 1964-1966 center a/c vent
i have this painted faceplate that has no mounting studs on the back. a couple people here said they may want to use a faceplate for speakers and i wanted to offer this for $20 shipped. you will not be able to use it for A/C i want to make that clear but as you can see in the pic you can mount it to the dash.
