Default Hey Guys, need an opinion on something I Made.

I made a cover to hide the throttle bellcrank, Does it look retarded or what? Any pointers for making it look better, I think it looks better with it than without.

It looks pretty good. I see a lot of LT1 guys with something like that for their TB.

Heavy Metal that's not my style, but nice work none the less.

Thanks for the replies, I am on the fence myself I guess I'll keep it for awhile and see if it grows on me. I just hope it doesn't look to goofy or "Hacky"

Thanks,
Aaron

I don't think it's bad at all! In fact, I think it looks really clean, from what I can tell by looking at the pics. Nice job! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I think it looks really nice on there. You might want to compliment it by making covers for a few of the other underhood components (brainbox, fuse panels, etc...). That might make it a little less "in your face" when you pop the hood...

If I were you I'd keep it on there!

Yeah, keep her on there. Just get some more things polished up and/or add some other custom covers. It'll make it TONS better. Great work though <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Thatks for the compliments guys, I will definitely polish up some more stuff so it blends in better, I am going to try to make some sort of a cover for the PCM too.

Not bad, is it stainless steel? It would look better if you welded it at the joint, and then sanded and buffed it down so it looked like it was die-formed, but I know thats a lot of work.

Looks pretty good! Definitely polish the TB and the MAF, and then it will blend in nicely.

That's definitely a good effort. I applaud your resourcefulness. I have to wait for someone to sell something before I put anything on the car... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

They can hold a light truck but are no good for F-bodies (too steep) messy welds but they are strong o well we cant all be blesses with talents like that <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />
