Our 69 Yenko Chevelle restoration

[SS427]

Next was the outer heater box. Fairly straight forward as all that was required was blasting, minor body work, cleaning, prime and paint. The bird cage was glass media blasted. I have found that more often then not these heater core covers were dipped in lacquer. Since this is too large to dip I have to spray them and use a fairly high gloss same as the factory. The heater motor (original dated one) was stripped and painted semi gloss black using new dull zinc bolts to attach it. I have found the sealer to usually be grey in color even though it looks black from staining so we now always replace these with grey sealer.

The heater control was in pretty bad shape and required a full restoration (we do that on every car anyway) so this took some time but well worth the efforts.
