Money opportunity for somebody with metal skills

[CRASH]

If I get a chance on Sunday I'll snap a pic or two on how they mount up

That could be helpful. Thanks.

I was thinking some kind of adhesive backing.

What does it look like with the panel off?

Ah, gotcha. I'd like to look at your car in person and look at some more detailed/bigger photos of these "spats". It looks like they're going to have to be worked on an English wheel/planishing hammer to get some compound radii on them. Any idea on how they are mounting them to the fenders ?

My thoughts exactly. Anything short of a press is going to be a whole bunch of man-hours to do.

wow, a whole $300?, holy shit, all those body hangers in charlotte that get $8K labor to hang a cup, busch, or truck body need to change jobs.

[Darren M]

Those really don't look that difficult to make. Replicate time and time again to a fine level of consistency, maybe, but still not THAT difficult. Any idea of the thickness of the aluminum? Obviously polished a bit, especially after the wheel but aluminum is so forgiving and easy to work with..... damn tempting. If Crash decides not to make these I'd be interested in the dimensions, expected thickness, and how folks want them installed. (I'm thinking rivets would look TITS! But that is just me.)

If you're interested in bringing the Cobra down to Mansfield, I'd be happy to take some better pictures, maybe even make a pattern using parcel tape, baby powder, etc.

[Darren M]

Oh yeah, Crash, if you DO make them, let me know the width needed. I have some long, i.e. 10', pieces of aluminum, that are only like 6" wide.

I'll be needing some experienced paint and body guys soon... I'll post something in the jobs forum in the next 30-60- days

Um what? Who the the fucks gonna pay 8k for a piece of aluminum for a fender?
I think you misunderstood the thread.

Yea rivers would be cool, but I would be hesitant to drill into the body.

Anyone have a pic with panel off? There's a few ways to attach the panel with out having to mess with the body.

You do know that the world doesn't revolve around NASCAR and IndyCar, right? That is unless there's an unlimited demand for NASCAR bodyhangers, in which case everyone that's good with metal would be doing it.

[Up0n0ne]

May be a naive question, but are they all the same design/style as the cobra in the 1rst pic or can there be or are there a few other style/designs as well?
