UPDATE: PCM cover on post #36


Got some spare 2024 T-3 and decided to make a couple of my own covers that i've seen on here before. My engine bay is dirty but I think the covers came out decent. I just simply cut them out with card board, made the appropriate trim cuts, bend radius, and rounded them off.








Then took the pieces of cardboard to work and sheared some aluminum to the shapes I wanted and applied the bends with our new metal break.







After cleaning and filing everything up, I scuffed them with a medium grade scotch brite, primed, and painted. Here they are!











No clearance issues...Any feedback??? Does it look tacky?

 

I think it looks good! On a black car really blends in.

 

Good work sir.

 

Looks very nice.

 

Thanks for the compliments. I believe i'll make one to cover the pcm next.

 

Well executed and not a hack job. Looks great and definitely beats buying them.

 

Looks clean, much like a vette engine bay. I like it. Maybe next make a cover for the washer fluid bottle area in front of the air intake?

 

Looks good bro!

 

how hard was this to do? and how did you bend it? (i might have missed that one)

 

Thats cool..Id like to make a few things for mine but never make the time! Looks great!

 

Okay...hmmm...kinda looks like mine. But looks like they came out really nice.

 

He DID say they were like ones he already saw on here, may have been yours! I wanna see the PCM cover; if it looks nice I might beg for one! :-P

 

nicely done sir! i think ill make some in the next few days, iv been thinking of doing this but haven't seen any "homemade" plates yet. pleased with the looks tho!

 

LOL! I know...I was just saying. Here's the mockup for my battery cover:



And the mockup for my fuse box cover:

 

nice work op, now make me some lol

 

They turned out great!

 

Thanks! Always down for saving a dollar from time to time.

I'm actually going to repaint all that when I pull the front end off for paint when I get back from deployment. Gonna keep the windshield washer bottle in there though because I use it every so often. Clearnance might be a concern because of where the hood latch mechanism is.


Thanks man

Really wasn't hard at all. Made the bends from our new metal break at work based off my marks I made on the cardboard.


Home life was slow this week which so the opportunity was there


Thanks! I searched on the forum but I never seen yours. I like yours alot! The ones I found were from a sponsor on here.

Haha! We'll see how it turns out. I'm going to start on that one this evening. You would be suprized how little effort this stuff takes with all the required tools available.

Thanks for the compliment!


I just "might" have to make some more then lol!


Thanks!

 

If you decide to make more I would take a set to fit a 2002 ws6.. in Raw.. please PM me if you decide to make more!

thanks

Al

You da MAN! Haha I wish I had the tools available, I prefer DIY projects...they're so much more satisfying!!
