I just finished the restoration work on these ac vents and they turned out beautiful. Lots of parts the engineers had to design using a slide rule! 30 individual parts Mopar made to make the center ac vent. 21 individual parts to make one lower side ac vent. Lots of work to restore these correctly as the metal parts inside are typically rusted and the plastic is broken. Thanks for looking. Steve

Super clean sir! Very nice attention to detail. I know exactly how much work goes into that kind of thing.

Those are a thing of beauty. Well done. What did you use for the chrome look?

Thanks for asking, I have done a lot of research in factory coating to include the chrome. New materials are now on the market that resist UV light, resist maring, is tough and adheres very well. I chose to use the 3M chrome vinyl material for this project and it turned out very nice.

Turned out great. Thanks for that info!

Those came out beautiful! Very nice. I see you are using a 3M product do you happen to have the part number? I want to try that on my wifes 71 Road Runner vents. Good job!!
