Guess I was lucky (I'm also finding a few items impossible to get now), found a decent heater box for my 57 Deluxe Htr last fall, in my local Tri-Five "guy's" junk pile. It was complete with the rubber seal, a repairable flapper and a working resistor!. It was all missing when I bought the car, (it had a really old Vintage A/C setup with an under dash unit the size of a school bus) Being in Canada, always wanted to return it to stock (a working defroster is a good thing spring & fall mornings on the way to a cruise-in) The seal was old, the box was a little rough, but it cleaned up nice. (glad I didn't toss that seal) I'm for sure stealing your PCV grommet/Htr core detail. Also rethinking the air cleaner with a spacer setup (never gave that thought, thanks!) Love your work, you've helped me out a lot. All the best for 2025.
The acorn nuts are awesome. I used them with studs to hold down my center bolt chevy valve covers.btw ace hardware sells deep acorn nuts that are about 1/8 inch deeper than standard ones if needed in stainless.
I learned so much from you over the years it's unbelievable but please put a towel over that carburetor so nothing Falls in there. I understand the choke is closed but still if a little screw winds up there you're not going to see it you're going to start it up after all this work you don't want to be pulling that engine apart..

Very impressive! Thank you!
Thanks Raymond, for contributing to the channel.
No one will ever know about the hole in the core support until they have to get that hose off. Then they are going to say THANK YOU!
If you need spacers on the heater box, you can make some by cutting pieces of copper pipe if you don't have some metal tubing.

Change those ugly bolts that hold the hood hinges to the car!
