very nice work:thumbsup:

Building a border to go around the engine compartment to fill in the dead space between the factory lip of the fender and the inner fender that we're building.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...alismall97.jpg Here's a panel we built as a fender filler piece to go between the firewall and fender lip. The dimpled holes and mesh are just dress up pieces and have a backing plate to keep water and debris out of the door jam. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...alismall99.jpg |
Awesome work Robbie!:thumbsup:

Thanks, Robert |
Any machine shop should be able to make you some. We machined them up ourselves for it. With your fuel pump we could machine some for you. I'm pretty sure the big one was the feed and both others went to evap. We just kept all the plastic lines and re-bent them around to all of the factory evap equipment. They do make adapters to clip onto those lines at the fuel pump and adapt to male AN fitting as well.

Thanks!
We fabricated a piece to go across the front to cover up all the ugly in the front of these things. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1.../DSC_00103.jpg http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1.../DSC_00084.jpg Machined our own hardware to hold it down. We wanted something really streamline as there isn't much hood clearance in the area. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1.../DSC_00064.jpg Made matching pieces for the hood adjusters http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1.../DSC_00043.jpg |
That's very nice clean work.
|
WOW!!! Robbie,Awesome fab work,over the top engineering.:thumbsup: Scott
|
Very high quality stuff there.....those welds are making wish I had 100th that skill.....
|
wow..looks amazing- great work guys
|
Thanks for the compliments guys! We don't usually work on these newer vehicles, but we're doing what we can to take it over-the-top.
We machined these mounts for some hood struts so you don't have to carry a hood prop around with you. The hood from the factory had two springs and one shock holding it up, so we're using two of the stock shocks and it worked out great! http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1.../DSC_00032.jpg We incorporated the mount on the inner fender to one of the dimpled holes we have running the perimeter of the engine compartment. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1.../DSC_00102.jpg You can also see the small mesh inserts we made. We machined dies to stamp the stainless mesh to match all of the dimple dies we have. |
I thnk you should shave the back bumper, or just shorten it a bit, it will look 100 times cleaner, and more subtle, now overall I love it, really, the most awesome changes are the ones no one can see. unfortunately, now, what about the cutted interior?

Killer work Robbie. Keep up the great work and keep us posted.:thumbsup:

As far as the inside, these boxes wrap all the way around the portion that was trimmed out. The actually run all the way down the front of the wheel well right up to the door opening. We also made the aluminum floor piece in the back with the flush mount carpet pieces. The speaker boxes have been color matched and are currently having some "artwork" applied to them (not airbrushing). http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1.../DSC_00014.jpg |

Really Robbie, that is some awesome work, and, I think for the trailer hitch you should hide it behin the bumper, and make a small hatch to get to it, like in some trucks that I have seen where the trailer hitch is hidden behind the licence plate, but it's up to you, and I really like that box, loving the result, wanna see it finished. |
wow...thats all I have

This was a fun part of the project. Getting to add looks and a punch of power is never a bad thing!
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...s/DSC_0004.jpg This is what we started with (we put some of the stock pieces back on for the picture) http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...s/DSC_0012.jpg And where we ended. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...s/DSC_0370.jpg You can check out the full installation in an upcoming issue of Street Trucks Magazine. We're also going to fabricate our own intake tube to put the filter on the drivers side. |
almost enough room on that passenger inner fender for an air box via hood intake.
looks great, so are you guys done with it already? Vince |
Looks great Robbie. Adding power is always a good thing.:thumbsup: :cheers:
Are you guys going to get that bad boy on the dyno as well? |

Working on a new intake tube. We wanted to reduce the couplers in it to give it a clean look, so we machined a piece that fits over the throttle body and we're going to use an o-ring seal and a few set screws to hold it tight. There's also a bracket that bolts to the front of the accessory drive to hold it firmly in place as well.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...s/DSC_0020.jpg http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...DSC_0014-1.jpg We also machined an end for the opposite side that the rubber coupler slides over, but the aluminum is flush with the outside of the rubber and the clamp. Kind of hard to see in this picture. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...DSC_0041-1.jpg Also started on a fuse box cover and filter mount. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...s/DSC_0099.jpg |
Built this do-dad to cover up the alternator. We were just going to have it polished or chromed and put it back on, but we wanted something that might have a more factory look to it and be different then everyone else.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...s/DSC_0162.jpg Here it is in place: http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...s/DSC_0166.jpg And we also finished up the drivers side inner fender and fuse box cover and air filter mount. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1..._0174small.jpg http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1..._0173small.jpg |
Very nice Ronnie. Awesome work! Nice touches indeed.:thumbsup: :cheers:

We recently acquired a Pullmax so it was time to put it to use. We built the dies and then built these coil covers to make everything look better and give a better look to the engine.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1..._0129small.jpg http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1..._0133small.jpg We also machined our own hardware to hold it on. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1..._0140small.jpg http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1..._0137small.jpg |

Awesome work Robbie. AMAZING!:hail: :thumbsup:

The air flow meter stood out quite a bit and needed something, so we built this. We still had to make it easy to remove as you have to remove the filter and air flow meter to access the fuse panel, so we have to where you remove one clamp and two screws and your in! Not quite a easy as stock but I guess that's the sacrifice you make.

amazing work:thumbsup: love it

killer fabrication work.you guys are a talented bunch.:hail: :hail:

Thanks for the compliments guys! We try our best! We can't wait to get our hands on an upcoming Chevelle.
We had some space restraints under the fenderwell between the inner fender, the wheel/tire and the suspension. We wanted to make sure the fuse box was sealed good from moisture and debris so we built an aluminum trim ring that holds a thin sheet of rubber to seal things up pretty well and follow all of the weird curves going on where the fuse box is. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...s/DSC_0275.jpg |

Nice work. Please keep the pics coming. --Eric |
Been happily machining more pieces around here. We machined up this bung to use to make a coolant bottle using the stock cap.
