Heater Box 1970 Chevelle
Anyone know what color the heater box above the passenger feet is? Is it black or gray or phosphate or what? 1970 chevelle?

Re: Heater Box 1970 Chevelle
Jim,
Mine is Black; probably around an 80% gloss. Not a real good shot, but maybe this will help. Rick, I know you're here; Speak Up! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img] Dennis

Re: Heater Box 1970 Chevelle
Dennis,
I think he's inquiring about the part that mounts on the inside of the firewall [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Probably called an 'air diffuser' or some technical name like that.

Re: Heater Box 1970 Chevelle
Oops, my mistake. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] You're right about the "textured" finish on the inside piece. I probably have a shot of that too, and will get it to you soon. Sorry for the screw-up.
Dennis

Re: Heater Box 1970 Chevelle
So your saying a flat black on the inside on the defusser and a 90-95% black that's on the heater box? The same gloss level that is on the firewall? Anyone recommend a paint in a can for the defusser? Thanks for the info guys. This is why I love the internet.
JIM By the way ORIGLS6, the pics look great!

Re: Heater Box 1970 Chevelle
I'm not sure that the firewalls were 90% gloss, at least in the Novas. The Novas were more around 60%, maybe less.

Re: Heater Box 1970 Chevelle
Jim,
The box has a slightly textured flatter black look to them. On survivor cars I have seen it is very dull and slightly textured almost like a 'dry' spray. That is how I restore them. With regards to the firewall side, I think they are originally even glossier than 80%. On low mileage cars, flip the cover over and you can see that they are very gloss, closer to 90-95%. Rick N.

Re: Heater Box 1970 Chevelle
Agree Rick, the Novas are the same way - dry, dull textured black on the inside box, glossy on the engine side - probably the glossiest black part under the hood!
