I'm absolutely awestruck!...............2 sets please!

 

Looks great. Nice work.

 

Both designs look great! I would be in for a group buy as well.

 

If you make up a scorpion tailed washer jug for the passenger side,You'll have all kinds of mod options. Then flange,pipe and seal to keep water out of your fenderwells. Honestly,more unwanted heat passes out thru the XKR Jaguar hood vents. Thanks for the compliments! Moving on to sizing down my brake lights, topped off with shark fins. Then a much higher grade of headlight eyebrows. Squirrel Crusher

 

Didn't need to take the fenders off. Just the plastic inner fenderwells. Take out the battery and 2 bolts from the mounting bracket that has all the brake lines. (Don't take the brake lines loose). Slid the block of brake lines over about an 1/2 inch to slip in the flange and vent piping then bolt the block back down. Squirrel Crusher

 

how hard was it to make the side vents?

 

I orgionally was going to install low profile side scoops onto the fenders. Bought two 1965 Mustang Cobra replica hood scoops. Was going to mount them backwards onto the fenders. The backside of the scoop (facing the front of the car) was going to be cut out about one inch short to match the curved lines of the fender well . Air would then flow thru the front,then pass on thru the back of the scoop. Epoxy in some studs,then bolt on. Would have favored the newer Corvette side fender vents,but open on both ends.

I hope to meet you and soon. I can only dream stuff like this up but you, you can take an idea like this and actually see it through to the end and for that, you are my hero. Superman might be able to fly but I'd like to see him build some of the stuff you have. Please tell me you're gonna be at the spring dragon.

 

Great craftsmanship, a true mahatma of metal.

 

Are you going to add thermal testing with a digital meter to see the air temp to see if it goes in or out and how much heat ( temperature ) is flowing out (in)?

That would be interesting to see some readings. Youd only need a radio shack thermometer or one like it with the wire remote sensor to see the temps.

Updates any?

 

nice work.....

 

Any Idea if you are going to make another set, or if you will let someone make more sets off your set ? I can imagine this would go on the list of must haves.

 

Squirrel,
That is AC Cobra thinking!
Always my fayvorite car; however; YOU are chasing the monster.
Very Impressive!
Wow!

 

Checked these out in person at the Dragon, and I can say, they are even cooler and well made than they look, a true craftsman at work here.

 

These do look very cool and as to how much flow they have( way more than stock,None) . Looks like they would be relative easy to install. Are you going to offer a kit for a group buy. Would really be high on my list.

Hey Guy's, Thanks for all the compliments. I just make up occasional custom stuff on my back patio. Just an hobby and nothing more. Most are afraid to drill a hole into their car. I charge at mine holding a Roto Zip Cutter. Thanks... Squirrel Crusher

 

Great workmanship, smart design. Any info as to where to purchase base parts to weld up would be helpful if it exist. Great design.

Dave, when you hear where most of these parts started, you will not believe it, pieces from a 1987 blazer rear spoiler (aluminum) and such, like I said, a craftsman.

 

I'am that kind of guy too. Like to make something from nothing. I thought about trying to fab some ports out of light aluminum sheet. I have such a small amount of time now, maybe later.
