I'll try to get a few more rear photos of her, as it is her phat butt is
just hangin around the garage eating snack food. I'm soon going to have
the cowl fixed and throw a coat of primer down cause i'm tired of seeing
red. I need to fix the hood hinge so i can give you better photos of the
engine area as well.

I'll work on some of that and mail you some photos.

Thanks! I've been working on it... I should get them up sometime today.

Work is getting in the way... maybe tomorrow...

I really don't understand how that could have happend considering that I wasn't even using Outlook as my default email client and hadn't even set it up yet.

car guy wrote: Hey, McBrain- I finally got the prices for the vinyl. No big deal, but they are a bit steep. The metallic ones are $60 a yard, and the Ostrich type are $65 a yard. I asked him how much he thinks is needed for a 71 Corvette. He says 5 yards should be enough. I wasn't sure if door panels were going to …

I need to try to replace or rebuild somehow, this OEM vent under the
drivers side cowl panel. Do they make after market parts for this,
any usefull information will help.

Vent search all i found was " 1968-76 Fresh Air Vent Door Seal Kit".
That didn't include finding a vent housing or whatever the name of it
is. If i knew the exact name maybe i'd find it quicker. Who knows.

Its very simple, your trying too hard. You just need the part from a old parts car. what all do you need ? i have several.

McBrain A Vette is a terrible thing to wast.

Thats it... or at lest all i can think of unless you can tell more from
the photo than i. I know that their is a damaged wall there but, i
believe that may be a simpler job and requires no replacment parts. All
i can tell needs true replacement is the vent housing. I know i'll need
to go and purchase new vent flaps because mine are all rusty and when
doing one, you do the othere side as well right? Just being thorough...
Othere than the vent housing i don't see anything else.
