Does anyone know who reproduces a drivers side lower kick panel for an air car?, I've seen them for cars w/o air, they run about $90.00. But I can't find one for a black 1968 w/ air. thanks chris

View Full Version : Kick panels Chris Maher May 26th, 00, 08:14 AM Does anyone know who reproduces a drivers side lower kick panel for an air car?, I've seen them for cars w/o air, they run about $90.00. But I can't find one for a black 1968 w/ air. thanks chris Chris Edwards May 26th, 00, 08:22 AM is there a difference? I didnt think they changed the kick style untill 70 with air , a guy at the local hangout has a 68 with air and his kick panels look just like mine on my 67...(without air) just the pull thing and the vent hold for the fresh air.. is there a A/C vent on them?> ------------------ Chris's 67 RS can be seen at http://www.geocities.com/macphreak4evr/index.html JOIN THE CAMARO NET WEBRING! www.geocities.com/macphreak4evr/webring/webringjoin.htm (http://www.geocities.com/macphreak4evr/webring/webringjoin.htm) !!! DjD May 26th, 00, 08:45 AM I have kick panels with 2 vent levers a vent and factory speakers. As far as I know they are orig to the car and it doesn't have air. Is that the style you are looking for? I haven't seen them on any other cars that I can remember... ------------------ ...Dennis Topless'69 (http://home1.gte.net/ddunio/topless69) rsss.fun@gte.net jm69ss May 26th, 00, 10:28 AM I just purchased repro kick panels for my '69 and they have two vent levers. What does the second lever hook to? The ones I replaced only had one lever and I believe they are from a '68. Like Chris, I have seen a few '68s and couldn't tell a difference from air to non-air. Every catalogue I checked does show for non-air only though. No idear what the difference would be. I'm sure someone here will set us straight. CarlC May 26th, 00, 11:30 AM A/C cars do not have the kick panel vents or levers. You may be able to modify a new one to work but it would be cobbled together. Reproduction A/C kick panels are not available. Best bet is to find good used A/C kick panels and paint/dye them. If they are parting out the car be sure to also pick up the RH kick panel flapper valve and the cowl flapper valve. GM no longer makes a replacement for these and you can usually pick them up really cheap. ------------------ Click here to see see my car and hear 5-speeds. http://www.geocities.com/casanoc DjD May 26th, 00, 11:54 AM One vent lever opens and closes the vent in the kick panel. The second opens and closes the duct feeding the "Astro" vent on each side of the dash. ------------------ ...Dennis Topless'69 (http://home1.gte.net/ddunio/topless69) rsss.fun@gte.net |
