Magic Air & FORD script heaters

Took 4 large boxes of rusted heater parts , fresh air tubes , defrost ducts , cable control panels & etc. to the media blasters fri. & retrieved 3 boxes of parts that were there . Will get some more back next fri. So all of you who are waiting on heaters ( you know who you are) will have some painted & together soon .Had 20 heater cores pressure tested & 28 motors checked out . Stock piling inventory ! Will have plenty of individual parts also . Heaters soon !! The AACA is having the winter meet here in Pt.St.lucie , Fla in Feb. only 3 miles away . Good time to have a load of heaters & related parts ready .Sat was epoxy primer day as the weather was perfect ! Later , Denny

Building inventory . 142 pcs . Some need minor repair , some need rebuilt panels , minor welding ,dents removed , pittingfilled . All part of saving these 61+ yr. old parts so they can live again & keep future generations of old FORD truck owners warm .

Painting is on the agenda for this comoing weekend .
