Heres my latest one smoothed out the gas cap fabbed in a piece to "pop" the cap open really happy how it turned out

 

i did a photoshop of adding my logo and 3 extra gauges. heres the before:



after:

 

I love it! I had this idea about 4 years ago and never got a chance to do it. The military keeps me far from my baby now. Good job on it!

 

Just started on the final design of my custom airbox (Real CAI).
And a link in my sig for my clear driving light mod.

New updates are further down on the first page.

 

Here's a dual air intake I built for my 91 RS.Finished it off with a K&N filter lid whe I put the 4 inch cowl hood on.

 

how hard is it to do that?

 

Not to hard the "clicker" i was able to just glue it on. And the cap i just used a dremel to cut out the finger hole then bondo to fill and smooth it out my thread in sig shows the process and what it looks like installed

 

Here are some pictures of the power steering cooler I installed.
I just re-sealed the power steering pump, and I wanted to get rid of the bulky factory "cooler" (extra long return line) that was always getting in my way when I had to do any work on the front of the engine from the bottom.

I had an old transmission cooler off of a wrecked car lying around, so I welded up a frame and used that. I used 300 psi hydraulic hoses covered with wire loom for the lines. To get them to fit, I had to cut a notch in the front air dam (I'm using a Camaro air-dam on my Firebird).

The cooler looks a little beat-up, but it doesn't leak.

 

Awesome job man!! Id love to have u custom build me a set of headers for my 511 big block in my 86 Camaro.. A new set to fit my application is about $700... Very good work bro!!

 

Heres two other mods i did a while back

Custom auto shift boot


Halo headlight conversion

 

Mocked up a bracket for the 4th gen wiper fluid bottle today. Used some flat steel and square tube that I had laying around. It drops the the bottle down from upper radiator support 5 inches and is 22 inches wide. Its pretty solid once its bolted down. It will be a few inches below the stock "cover" that will be in place once complete. Undecided if I will put a hole in cover and put a riser in washer bottle to rise it up flush or just leave it hidden and remove the cover whenever I need to top off the fluid.

 

almost forgot my newest one smoothed out rear bumper

 

my buddy did that to his sport coupe and it looked awsome. i believe spike-z did that to his too. and its deffinatly a body mod im doing once i start on the body work. yours looks pretty nice, what did you fill it yours with?

 

fiberstrand bondo i also smoothed out the side skirt badges to

 

Has anyone put a duckbill spoiler on a thirdgen firebird? i was thinking of doing it and wanted to see how it looked. If anyone has pics then please post them. I did a search but only came up with camaros and high rise spoilers on firebird but i want to see a duckbill spoiler on a firebird.

 

My coolers: fabbed the oil and tranny bottom bracket out of perforated steel. Used the holes for the air dam for bolts, painted black. P/S is an insulated electrical clamp. Not pretty but functional.

 

Im about to put a camaro stock spoiler on mine. Came with the lid i just got from a member here. I have a fiberglass mold of a stock wrap around wing on mine now but i put an LED light bar in the wing and deleted my 3rd brake light on my stock wing for a cleaner look.

What is the duckbill wing?

 

Custom fabricated radiator shroud with carbon fiber insets:

 

Here is a rear view of a duckbill wing on a thirdgen firebird. Im not sure if they are actually called duckbill wings, thats just what ive always called them.

Im thinking about doing it on my car and wanted to see a side view and see if anyone knew how to make it or where to buy it.

 

I always wanted one of those on my car.. I was thinking of making one.. probably sometimes before summer...

 

That's a 'kicktail spoiler' ... like on a skateboard

 

i've always called it a ducktail spoiler, and it looks alot like the hawks 5in spoiler

 

If anyone does make it then please make a thread so i can make one. Lol. That would be awesome.

 

or buy it http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/ca...arspoiler.aspx

 

I don't know, not diggin the look of that spoiler on that TA, gotta see more pics with different angles. I actually like the hi rise Camaro spoiler on a TA if the car is lower with different wheels than stock.

 

nice job. i need to get my *** in gear and finish making my bumper. yes make my rear bumper. im heavily modifing mine. hope to get it done this summer. as long with my own chin spoiler and side skirts. and no, i will not be producing this parts.

 

thanks and what all are you doing to yours im also smoothing out some 92 side skirts for mine

 

my front chin spoiler is already started and i have a thread on here already for that . for the rear, all i can say is i cut the bottom half off of the bumper . as for the side skirts, those are still in the thought process.

 

Heater delete. Piece is from an old dash so it looks factory texture.



radio delete/ gauge holder, made from old radio dash kit, and lexan.



3 speed reverse shift pattern.

 

i have a set of a set upper hinge pins and bushings fabbed up out of a 9/16 bolt and a 7/8 bolt

 

it sure would look slick if the gauges were mounted on abs plastic to match the rest of the interior.

like the shifter decals.

 

This is the custom gauge cluster I fabbed up out of a piece of aluminum

 

These are the 2 most recent things i have been working on...
The first three pics are of the heater box i made since i wasnt using my A/C.
The next three pics i will post are of my custom wing i am making. Let me know what you guys think. I am still in the design and sculpting phase so i can fine tune the design.

 

These are pics of the wing i am building

 

Any of you metal guys have custom aluminium door sills? I want something more durable than the crappy stock plastic pieces. Would love some custom made pieces.

 

thats gona be sweet!

 

that a saleen wing? looks like it. very nice

here are a bunch of suspension pieces that I built

 

 

Here is a hood i made from a new reflexxion ram air steel cowl hood.

 

Hey builderkid how much did it cost to fab that AC delete box up? And your motor looks BA!

 

I was going for a mix of a stock wing and a drag wing style. Has same lines as stock just more slope and sticks out same amount as the bumper to give some balance to the rear end.

 

The box really didnt cost anything at all for me. I just had some fiberglass mat and spray paint laying around. I would say it you had to go out and buy everything it would be around 20 to 30 bucks.

stuff needed:
cardboard to make mold
cover with duck tape to act as mold release
2 to 3 square feet of fiberglass mat
hours of time to spend with filler to get it looking smooth
some rattle can primer and paint

Hope this helps for anyone hoping to do it themselves. alot cheaper than buying one...

 

I dig the wing. I cant tell but are you letting some air go between the decklid an wing or are you closing it off?

 

I am closing it off. the wing will get double sided taped to the decklid along the front. I am worried about the slope of the wing giving me too much downforce. I plan to take this car to road courses later on so i dont want my front end gettin light under fast speeds. It will make it hard to wash under the wing but i think it looks better that way.

 

frequent on here alllll the time but dont ever post. curious if anyones ever done this. the passenger side is set.. the drivers is not.. why its so off in the pic. took a little cutting and grinding of the light to get it right and fit. still might move it around a bit. planning to make a filler piece for the center.

 

Huh that's...unique. I don't really care for those tail lights at all but the fact that you could do it and make them look pretty good is awesome.

 

are those civic taillights? or what are they off of? i m with awesome-x not digging it but props on ur skills


^^^ THIS .Nice idea.I can't believe no does anything like that. would love me some custom sills.

 

They're stock tailights off an 03 or 04 lancer. They should look better when they're molded in there a little better.. and the center piece is fabbed up. if anything i can always throw the stock lights back on it. I just wanted to see if i could do it.. or if itd been done. But really the most annoying thing was filling in the holes from the three piece wing, especially since i have no welding skill to speak of.. just real handy with bondo and a hand sander.
