[FC] Heating improvements

[Dennis Dorogi]

The contours of the sheet metal that the air door assembly mounts to are 
definitely different.   I've done it, I know.  I can't remember how large 
the section is that is different (not too large but I can check if you want 
me to) but you definitely cannot put the assembly on a 63 or earlier without 
changing the sheet metal that it mounts to.  I cut out the section from the 
64 and mig welded it into the 63 rampside.    I had so much welding to do on 
mine that it wasn't a big deal.
