Im a sheet metal fabricator and was wondering what parts u guys would want. since im in the process of making some for my firebird, i could always make a couple more. im thinking about the radio pod cover, console cover, radiator support, and maybe a gauge face. im just wondering if people would be intrested.
Thanks

 

once i get more money i would be interested. post some pics

 

one of those radiator supports would be nice

 

alright, illl make a couple of those up. im gonna be in vermont till thursday so ill have to make them next week. if theres anything else, let me know

 

Just curious.. how would you go about cutting something like a radio pod cover out? What tools would you use, to get a nice finish on the Inside edges and corners?

 

Any plans for a sheet metal intake? If you could make up sheet metal intake manifolds, cheaper than a company like Hogan, I think you'd have a heck of a market. $2500 for a four barrel intake is much too pricey.

 

we have an automated plasma cutter. irs my fathers business so he doesnt mind me using the machines.

 

that sounds way too hard to do. picture making an intake out of flat sheets of paper. its tough cause u cant use compund curves. if u have a link post it and ill take a look.

 

I'll be up for some of that action.Any pictures,can you ship to the UK?
Thanks Neil.

 

I guess that's why those Hogan intakes go for $2500. Those intakes are a work of art. Take a look:

Another reason why those Hogan manis are so expensive, they are custom made for each application.

I think there is another company that makes sheet metal manifolds (it might be Wilson), but I don't think they are any cheaper.

 

I would like to see a pic of the gauge cover. If you do make one post a pic because I might be interested in one if they turn out good.

 

Radio and heater contols 'delete' plates would be cool. I don't need them, but I'm sure others here might

 

Agreed!

 

post pics of that radiator support when its finished

 

If you make the radiator suports, & if they are nice Ill take one!

 

post some pics when your done

 

alright guys, nice to see ur intrested. i got it all measured up and i should be able to make one tomorrow. ill be taking some test pics for u too.

 

I might be interested in a center console cover. Don't make it unless you're going to make one for yourself though. I don't want ya to go out of your way or anything. A matching radio pod cover would be cool...or an entire radio pod since mine is cracked!!!

 

subscribing for updates.

 

did any pieces get make then?

 

sheet metal is so damn expensive arent i correct?

we took a sunroof out of a car were racing now we have a big hole its rediculous how much for a peice of sheet metal
