Now comes the bracing

Dykem blueprint for lay out makes precise work very possible, I needed the spray can version the brush on type isn't meant for large areas like this.





Using a spare head from my N/A motor



Mounting this behind the exhaust cam to where the original cam cover bolted to, added benefit is the coil wires will be covered and protected, its multipurpose.





I like making these little bullet nose bolts for when you need to center punch a piece but have no reference point for the layout



Now all you do is set your piece over the nose of the bolt where you want the hole to be and just tap it with your dead blow











Starting to finesse the final shape



Dat fitment



Some scuff pad



Now to triangulate











Fits so nice



Weld it up


Done and done

Fark. Much envy on all the fab work.

[Devocat]

i need to be missing something here

this car is beautiful. the fab work is amazing. the time, effort and attention to detail put into this goes far beyond most show cars i see.

this is not a missile. awesome build and stuff but lets not throw that word around. makes everyone look silly.

[Devocat]

It's charge piping time







Modified the snout of the turbo and added a tight 90













Tacked



Tube connecting cold side to intercooler





All tacked and ready to be welded



Preheating this snail





It's meh worthy

Wow.. Talk about attention to detail!!! Shroud looks great man!! Love the car too

More lathe! Cutting threaded lugs for the mounts that will attach the shroud to the radiator.



Tap that shit





Drilling all the way through the side



1/4 stainless bar



Here they are all lined up and look pretty close, not bad for just a drill press



All 4 lugs for the shroud and all 4 lugs for the radiator cut and ready to be welded on



Fan shroud lug



These will be welded on the inside of the shroud



And the lug for the radiator





Time for rivets













That is about it for the shroud

Awesome car, beautiful work. Will you be painting the entire car that same color or is it going to remain just a feature of the bay?

I will be keeping the exterior paint OG, if I do decide to paint her there will be a color change. Thanks for the props and interest!

I love this thread.

Its time to build a radiator shroud, Lets check it out



.065 aluminum sheet coupled with .065 aluminum angle



All edges will get the full attention to detail



love my cheap ass electric shears, best $15 ever spent



I scuff pad everything











Framed







Center then center punched



Center drill bits work wonders on thin shit like this



Now drill



Yes it will all be riveted, because rivets are badass



This is my favorite deburring style bit



Look at how damn nice that looks



More drilling



Mocked up for a visual



Electric fan has been marked and ready to be cut out









Machining threaded inserts for the electric fan to bolt to



Left the white protective film on to protect the outside



There will be more much more
