Part name - Help

I'm working on a 67 rdster and I'm looking for a missing body part but I don't know what to call it, so I'm having trouble finding one. The missing part is located on the interior kick panel and should support the fresh air vent door. It's fiberglass with a flange on the end toward the interior that is bonded to the cowl inner fiberglass panel.

It's a new one on me, I've never run across a car missing one. I'm sure I can fabricate something if necessary but the owner wants to do it all original. A doner car may be the best way.

AIM calls it an "outlet" , part number 3899220. Parts book calls it an "outlet, dash panel vent air". Plenum air outlet might be a more common name.

If you mean this housing/outlet that encloses the air vent valve, you'll have to get one from a donor car; they're not reproduced.

Thanks guys. Now that I know what to call it I also know that it's not available as a reproduction. I located a possible donor cowl section and the fellow will check Monday to see if the part is still there. If not, it shouldn't be hard to fab with metal and a little glass. Thanks again for the help.
