3/16" aluminum. Doubled the thickness on the leading edge with some welds and panel bond. Two small turnbuckles on the trailing portion that go into rivnuts on the core support. A small section will be fastened with Zeus fasteners to take it back to the cross member after the car shows. Functional but not over the top plus nothing really out back to provide aero balance so you can't go crazy.

Here’s a shot of the carbon splitter on the front of my car. I’m looking to do something similar to what you’ve done. Not looking for any crazy aero but I’d like to have something to go under the front valance and Also protect all the oil lines I’m hiding underneath it.

This was before my car went back to the body shop so it doesn’t look quite like this anymore. All the panels are lined up and primered now.

Make a pattern out of cardboard or 3/16" plywood and mock it up. That will get you where you want to go.

Well crap....Detroit Autorama is cancelled. Darryl Starbird "Fine Nine, Go For the Gold" is up for the same weekend April 30th - May 2nd if you are in the Tulsa area. Should be a record turnout.

Glass is in, down to the last few small details and final wet sand/buff. Pardon the dust.

Oh ok...thanks Don. I should've known. I would've thought with vaccines, etc that would not be the reason. Even though I know vaccines isn't a cure or doesn't make people immune.

So one of the most locked down states have the highest number of cases in the US.......:EmoteClueless:

Pretty sad that show got canceled and I can’t imagine how you feel. I’m happy you’re taking it to Tulsa not sure I can make it but I’m gonna give it a try.

I hope you’re considering taking it to good guys Iowa as I think that is going to be one of the few shows that does happen.

I wasn't planning on going to starbird, but this may give me just enough reason to go.

Mike, they are expecting record breaking attendance. A few Ridler contenders were trying to get in the show when news of the cancellation of Detroit Autorama came down Tuesday morning. Weather looks to be great as the new this year outdoor show should be a good draw as well.

214Chevy 04-24-2021 09:20 PM

Not fair!! Give us a side shot featuring the new wheels...
