Does that car have open headers and do you roll on the streets with this USA looking bad boy?

JOEYD0730 · February 19th, 2007, 07:08 PM

Lookin' good!!

JBIGBOOTSY · February 19th, 2007, 09:19 PM

looks good, I thoutht about doing that, ...... for like 4-5seconds. That attention to detail is whats really sets some cars off, once, at a car show a guy had a carbed fox with every crease, hole, and overlap smoothed out, and damn if It wasn't somthing to behold.

Wow! That looks just like the current state off my engine bay. I love the look af a clean engine bay. Im currentley doing the same thing, hiding wires, along with ABS and deleteing the smog. Clean engine bays look sweet. Post the finished pics. Im curious to see.
Here is what iv done so far.

JOEYD0730 · February 19th, 2007, 11:22 PM

looks great, i am only about 8 hrs into the project, i was going to weld up every hole or cover them like you did, then i was turned onto this stuff call fibral. it will cover up 80% of the holes in the engine bay without weldiong them up, for the air silencer hole i just tacked a plate from behind, then filled it in, we use this stuff alot on boats, and it never cracks or splits. the guy who turned me onto fibral works for the bus company here in ny, they use for body work, cause its so strong and will cover easy, good luck, i will post em when i get them,

Tony_90fox · February 19th, 2007, 11:25 PM

Looking good fellas. I plan on doing that when my engine is out gettting some machining done. Do you guys know about how many hours/ days it would take to do a decent job?

95opal · February 19th, 2007, 11:36 PM

That fibral sounds like some good stuff joeyd. I was going to just fill the holes in, but then I got retarded and mounted the fuse box in the fender faceing the engine bay so I can still access it through the fender apron above my MSD. Im going to fabricate an aluminum cover for it with a couple of fastners. Im also makeing a cover for the opposite fender so my MAF sensor can sit in the fender and the cold air pipe will go through a cover and i can pop of the fastners and pull the whole thing out without going through the wheel well. I will post some more progress pics later this week when everything is smoothed out.

Tony how long it takes depends on how detailed you want to get.

Tony_90fox · February 20th, 2007, 01:07 AM

yeah man, i guess i will only know when i start on it won't I? haha, thanks for the reply, and looks good guys.
