it wasn’t part of my original plan but I’ve decided to delete the heater for now… the heater hasn’t been working for at least 10 years so I guess I can continue living without it. ultimately I’d rather have a new vintage air heater/ac setup… we’ll see. anyway, here are a few pics of the work. pretty straight forward. paper template to sheet metal and then riveted in place.
