Those look really good. Just wondering if you could share what type of aluminum and what gauge thickness. Like could I just go buy a sheet of aluminum from the hardware store. If you don't want to share thats cool.

i dont have the measurements off hand, these took me about a good 8 hours to cut and bend and sand all the edges,and make them fit right. i also dont know the gauge or the type of aluminum i used, i had some lying around. what i do know is that they were a bitch to bend, and the aluminum is definitely not flimsy. the ones for my car should hopefully be done with paint tomorrow and im hoping i can get them on tomorrow too

These are no longer available but look great. These will also help for placing coilpacks if you do the conversions. You might be able to sell them they look good.

I was lucky to find a used set locally. I would think with more people changing over to the efi conversion these may be in demand again. Your doing a real good job on them.

very nice! On the red outline, pinstripe or did you mask it off and shoot the red on top of the black? And I'm guessing the lettering is vinyl?

Please let all of know if you would be willing to make these to sell. To answer ur question, I think 140 bucks is fair. U said the corvette ones go for 90 and the aluminum ones for 190. Add that and split in half. That should be plenty to cover supplies and ur labor or find the cost in supplies add ten percent and then charge whatever u want for labor. Ur choice really. But nice job

So, will someone make these? or at least give the cut dimensions so we can have them made at a metal shop? I know of 2 other people that would buy these.

I could totally go for a set of these too, when you determine a price let me know and I will totally hit you up. I would just want a set unpainted like everyone else. I just don't know how much effort/work it takes you. but I am definitely interested so somebody who wants to make some money throw out an offer.
