Hi guys, I just pulled my heater box from my 71 charger so i can rebuild it with a kit from Detroit Muscle Technologies. It appears I am missing something, perhaps a door or something? There are some screws missing, but please note that all i did to remove the box was detach the hoses and nuts at the firewall and the box was basically free.

If anyone has a picture of a complete box I could ref, that'd be great.

If anyone can tell me what I need, that'd be awesome.

If anyone has what I need for sale, lets talk!

ok, pictures now. The way I see it, there should be something around this big square hole:



 
you are missing two screws by the floor vent. Pic 1. The other two screws are for a plate that is for the foam surround. Pic 2. $_57 (4).jpg$_57 (5).jpg
 
Here is a picture of mine before teardown20141227_174614.jpg. I am in the process of restoring mine. You are missing this plastic shroud. You should be able to pick one up on the internet somewhere, or maybe a junkyard.
 
That foam should be with the kit. Take lots of pics so you can always refer back. It's real easy to mix up the lines especially if you have to leave the project for a while.
 
Does the kit come with those plastic ties to hold the vacuum lines? Also is there a place to buy a vacuum line of how can one be repaired seems like one of mine is basically cut in half. I also need the spring clips as mine are missing across the top


Also anywhere to get one of these:
