I have no airdam. Does anyone have a pic of one off the car? Is it something I can just fabricate out of sheet metal? Im assuming that it's something I must have?

 

Yes you should, there is a thread around here that has all measurements and shows exactly how its done. I will try and find it for you.

There are other links as well, just put airdam in search bar, you might find what your looking for. I saw a few on here pretty cheep also. look in the sales forums.
Here is another one.

Weird I searched airdam and just got threads where air dam was mentioned, like scrapping on the ground. I didn't find anything good. Thanks for the info.

 

I think the easiest way for me will be a sheet metal piece. And if it gets banged up an kit make another lol.

 

Try something more descriptive like..."make your own air dam (or airdam)" not just "airdam". Or "custom airdam" or "fabricated (or fabricating an) airdam".

Simple 1-words searches for anything is rarely successful.

 

bad thing about sheet metal is that it only flexes once then it needs either adjusting or replacing. you can make your own from plastic, that's what a lot of guys do in dirt racing where cooling efficiency is so important in a harsh environment.

I also went for a plastic airdam in the end. Mostly because these things take a beating and I had to replace it once already because I hit a speed bump.

Easiest way to go about it is to pick up a piece of metal, bend it at an 80° angle, drill holes to make it fit the radiator support (you need to cut out a small piece in the center. About 2" or 3" wide because the radiator support has a small bump there)

Then drill some holes to fit your plastic airdam and pick up a piece of high density styrofoam or the material chevyracingrox posted a link to.

Looks a bit like this when done:
