Have made some progress on many heaters and related parts for restoration . Should be able to get some in paint this weekend as a yearly treat to self on b-day 12-24 & Christmas is to work on personal projects . Heaters before media blast , bare metal and primed , defrost y-ducts before 1 hr. in the rock shaker

 

Hey Denny,

Are you leaving any heaters for the rest of us???

 

I think it is great that someone is inspired enough to go through all the work to do what you are doing.See a need, fill it.I wish I had more space,because I would like to be able to do something similar to benefit my "Brethren",57-60 Fridge owners.We really are the odd-men out on this forum.Some day,I hope to have one of those "old" trucks.

Really nice work.

 

If I were driving my truck today I would need all of the to keep warm and keep the window clear!

They look great. Unkowing Fridges of the world thankyou!

 

Denny!!!! Leave some for me!!!! hahahaha

 

It's ironic that here in the SW where nothing rusts much, these are unheard of, because... it isn't that cold, and everywhere they were needed they spread salt like it was fertilizer. Those look great, I think you should keep one for making repro's off.

 

I tried to save one from a 52 - Found out what I thought was the heater were just lines in the rust pile.

Nice work by the way.

 

Am buying up any Magic Air heaters that I come across . Plan on having alot in stock . Have 4 sytems sold so far . Had to to something to take up the slack in the business .Ilya , how is all the rain treating you ? Hope all is well with every FTE'er in storms path .

 

Defrost y-ducts after 1 hr. in the rock shaker . So clean the part # showed up and the maker -Super Cast.
Fresh air tubes from Green Sales . One heck of a deal .Had to heat the two '48 -' 50 tubes to get them apart .Never fails .

Alot of cleaned up hardware Defrost ducts ready and waiting

 

Do you hammertone paint them...the main units and "Y" pieces?

 

Hylkman56 , the heaters get painted a custom matched color . The ex neighbor works at an auto paint store and is very good at matching paint The color is a hammertone silver/ gray hue . All parts are painted inside and out . The felt doors were removed and carefully media blasted . The y-ducts are cast aluminum . Thinking of leaving them bare aluminum or paint them the case color .Anyones thoughts on polishing them ? Do you think that would border over restore ? Maybe not for a custom rodded truck . Let me know , thanks Denny
