Still continuing (stubbornly plodding along) intermittently with making the prewar AC vent.
Cast my first zinc attempt a couple of weeks ago and shall we say there was quite a bit to be desired on that one. After rethinking the mold, remelted the first and made the second attempt today. It turned out almost presentable. Not quite car quality yet but certainly good enough to start figuring out the louver size and spacing so the mounting holes can be located in the casting with the next attempt. In a pinch JB Weld and paint would make this one usable.
