57 fresh air duct

[glenmichael]

Hello Everyone, still removing the interior pcs. I found the passenger side air duct packed with mouse bedding, no wonder the flap would not open. The drivers side missing all together, are they the same? Does anyone have one for sale or can point me in the right direction?  Thanks

I've got a pair, the question (as usual) iis if I can find them. I'll let you know.

were you thinking about AC?  If you install a Vintage Air Gen IV unit, you will block off the right vent.  I drove the Custom several summers with just the left vent.  I never complained!

Hello Everyone, At this time I'd like to hook up the fresh air ducts and remove the heater and box also the fan motor and box and install delete plates on the fire wall for now. I also need the two delete plates, the list goes on! Once I start driving the car that AC might sound good.

A member jegsr had the delete plates repopped. He sold his '57 stuff.... Randy Conner may have bought them?

The dash delete plate is also available to complete the whole heater delete thing.

Hello Everyone, Thanks for the information, I looked at both sites. The first was for (grill deflector panels)? The second is a plastic repo that can be finished, I take it the real Dash Delete Plate piece is hard to find? Thanks again for helping..

The problem with finding a dash delete plate is 90% of them had a hole drilled in the center for a fan switch when they were retro fitted later for a heater. I looked for months and gave up when I found the reproduction ones become available , which is really a nice piece.

found them but never mind if you don't need them

Hello Everyone, Ray if you would be able to sell one of them to me that would be great. One day this 57 will be rolling down the road, that air flow will feel nice. Thanks

Hello again, rmk57, the piece from redvenomrepros, can that be finished like the radio and clock plate? Have them chromed? Thanks for the help and advice everyone!!

[Ray]

Hi Glenn, I accidently deleted your address. Could you send it again? Sorry

[thomasso]

If a heater was an accessory and had to be specd on the order can the plate really be called delete?

Hello Everyone, Wanted to Thank Ray for sending the right and left fresh air duct parts I needed. They started in Dallas, Texas then mailed from California To be used in Florida. Love It. In preparing the boxes for paint I removed the open--close flap, interesting the way things were built in 1957!! I'll try to replace the rubber after paint..
