    Has anyone used their sure fit for 55-56's? I have used Vintage Air in three builds and am very fond of their product, but they don't have the 55 controls function.

    I'm also interested in this. I have not used them but have heard good things about them.

    My pal Dave has used them a couple of times and he was happy with the product. HRP

    I have their 55 kit in my 55 Tudor. The controls on mine are reversed though I followed their instructions. Ialso used double row pulleys. They say you can run it all off one belt but mine even squeals occasionally. Great system but.

    I had to do a little hammer work on the outer side on both the drivers side and p***enger side of the dash to tighten up the natural curve of the dash to accept the new air vents.

    Since I wanted the vents symmetrical I filled in the old heater delete blank to drill the hole,,this on and the other I don't have to do any modifications.HRP

    Are you referring to Vintage Air? Now that I know they have one designed for 56's I will see if it will work on my 55.
