the Back Story
In 1996 I developed a seal kit to restore the age worn gaskets for 1968-1979 heater boxes on models without AC. There we NO GM blueprints used by me. The item B shown above was never used on any Corvette. It was developed by me to provisde a good seal between the inner heater box & the inner firewall. Virtually invisible after installation it will assist in preventing cockpit intrusion of engine compartment heat, gases & hydrocarbons.
If you read the Corvette Foramen, the Vice President of zip Jusin Abbott has repeatedly proclaimed they did not copy anything from Dr. Rebuild. After we wholesaled this item to zip, they somehow developed an identical part that was - remember - never installed on any Corvette by GM. Remarkably it has the same pattern & sponge rubber material as was developed by me in 1996 before Justin Abbott was ever even an employee at zip. Must be just another coincidence - if you believe in fairy tales. Or conversely, perhaps Justin Abbott is just a lousy despicable liar and lap dog for David Walker who claims to take the higher road.
This is not rocket science but I'm fed up with these parasites. And folks this is just one of many occurrences of this same action and denials by these integrity thieves I refer to as zip the gyp. But they are so polite. And I say, so was Bernie Madoff. How else could Bernie con his customers for so long?
