after seeing a car that got posted up in the GS forum

this mod really caught my eye

here it is



the underhood piece ...i believe it is Polished aluminum

can any help me with this project ?

 

What do you need help with?

I'd suggest some cardboard to make an outline, a sheet of metal, and some elbow grease.

 

yeah i figured on making a template ...but where to get the sheet of metal ..they what to cut with

and when are you coming up to supply the elbow grease lol

 

I would first try going to Home Depot to see what they have in stock in terms of metal working tools. Home Depot is always fun .... Power tools

Another idea to find a sheet of metal big enough is to talk to a local metal shop or custom fabricator
And if that fails: http://www.mcmaster.com/

 

thanks for that link

what thickness do you recommend

 

I would reccomend around an 1/8 inch but you may be able to go thinner if you have multiple mounting points to stabilize the sheet of metal. I'd also suggest aluminum alloy rather than steel. You will have an easier time cutting it.

If you haven't noticed, you can also purchase titanium from them too

 

johnny...the metal I can get you, and all you need are tin snips to cut it....

easy as pie...give me a call and we'll make this happen

 

johnny those pieces are definitly chrome
