Im looking for an AC delete box with screws for my 1971 skylark, Has a 350 in it. Looking for something in decent shape. As long as its not rusted badly or dented. PM me if you have something for me. Thanks, Jon
Does your car have AC now? The firewalls are different from non-AC cars as to AC cars :Smarty: The cover plates for the AC cars are plastic/fiberglass. Therefore will not rust or dent. My car was with AC, so I had to make my own delete plate or spend the $129.00 for the one on E-bay.
damn. it originally had AC. What did you make yours out of? I need heat! Where do they offer fiberglass covers? Besides ebay

Thanks mike. I'll be sure to keep tuned in. If i have to, i may just have to butter you up and slip you some cash in the mail to make me one
I looked and can not find it. I also wanted to keep the heat and windshield defrost so I made it this way. First remove the box from your car (or donor car) and wood screw it to a thick piece of blywood. Something like three by four feet should do. Cut the plastic box about three inches form the mounting flange. install a materal called "hardware fiberic" with safty wire all the way around the opening. lay fiberglass mat on both side of the "hardware fiberic" after it sets 24 hours sand just the outside smooth. Fill any imperfection with just the reson. Paint bolt to the fire wall. My end result is this
broken pic! Sounds like a great plan. But that means i have to look for a doner AC box lol. I'll have to look around and do that as a last resort. Thanks for the info!
Michael put me on to the directions as to how to make my own. About 2 hours and 25-30 bucks is all I had into mine. It came out actually pretty nice I think, I made one out of a spare cracked up a/c box and some fiberglass resin. Sure beats paying 130 bucks for ones that really don't line up all that good. http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=108948&highlight=ac+delete+box
