Product Details

If you're cleaning up the engine bay on your 1964-1972 GM A-Body for a race car, hot rod, or just a tidier look, removing the factory heater box is a common step. This panel from UMI Performance is designed to cleanly cover the opening left behind when you eliminate the heater box and blower motor assembly.

This panel is CNC machined from a solid 0.125-inch thick aluminum plate, making it both strong and lightweight. By removing the heater box, you're shedding about 17 pounds from the front of your car, which can make a noticeable difference. The panel comes with a sanded, bare aluminum finish, ready for you to leave as-is or paint to match your build. UMI also offers red or black powder coating as an option, or you can contact them for custom colors.

Installation is straightforward, as it uses factory mounting holes and doesn't require any drilling. Keep in mind this panel is specifically for vehicles that did NOT come with factory air conditioning.
