mstatedog,
I have viewed your fabrication pics and they are unbelieveable.
You obviously have superior metal working skills!
Great job!!!
I too would like to see complete, detailed interior pics of not only the '74 air system with which you are dealing, but the '73 gas heater system too.
Keep us updated, please

dog,
I knew exactly what you meant because i viewed your fantasitc metal fab pics.

Others must not have bothered to go the Gallery.

Like you.....I'd love to see pics of the entiire '74 heat supply setup.
Come on folks....someone has a stock set-up and a digital camera....

This is the best I can do for a picture

There is a soft flexible tube that goes along each side of the tunnel to the front plastic duct. These tubes are then covered with metal protection plates. There is a flexible tube that goes from the front of the plastic duct to the defroster ducts.

As I posted before, the Thing Shop sells both of these tubes.

MedicTed,
Nice pic. Thanks.
Could you also take pics of the shrouding on each side of the tunnel, and the Y's and ducting as it come through the body under the rear seat?
I'd love to see the details on that stuff.
The '74 cream puff here has all that stuff stripped off, and I know we only have some of the parts.
I've never seen a complete '74 heating system.
Seeing good pics of a real live working '74 heating system would do wonders in helping me restore this car to its stock set up.
The Things parts book just doesn't do it justice.

thanks for the pics MedicTed. I would like to see a picture of the duct entering the dash ducts. The diameter is larger. My Thing ductwork was in pieces when I got it.

I did not forget you. I'm just waiting for the pictures to be developed. Hopefully Wednesday I'll have them back.

Alright, I got the film developed and no Thing pictures. So I'm not sure where they are. Sad
