Re: XR center hood vent DIY

I cut the front section, ~2-1/2 ", and got it angled to match the front of the hood. Found a roll of tin, around 4"-6" diameter, and slightly bent the rear section to my liking.

Welded in some side sections, bondo, sand, prime.

XR center hood vent DIY

Here is some reference material, for dremel crafting. Lay string along each bend in the hood, and use more string to get these dimensions in place. Could have gone an inch or two wider on both sides, but preference. The 7" mark really should be 9" or a little over, to drop the opening just...

Re: '88 XR Project AutoX junk

Finally coming back to this thread after...wow...been a while :roll: I guess I can highlight the build thus far, starting from the rear. -Currently in the process of repairing late model rear hatch. Due to the ~20 lbm spoiler, and no structural support in the middle, the center buckles under "l...

Re: DIY Rear Metal Fender Flare Mounting

That's cool. Will look better than letting the rust creep up above the original fender. And you're not offending the purists here by cutting on a pristine example. Maybe weld a similar sized rear spoiler as well? Have a bi-wing, I might convert to mono, not a fan of rubber made one. Looking at a DI...

Re: DIY Rear Metal Fender Flare Mounting

You will see a crease in the fender well / strut support spot weld. This is your new fender mount position, as seen by the dotted line. Cut under this line, then proceed to grind up to this line. Where the rear of the fender meets the tail marker light will most likely be rusted out, so you will nee...

DIY Rear Metal Fender Flare Mounting

Literally nothing on here, so I figure I would write a guide. Will be taking pics of the only good fender on my car. I am using a Mustang Turbine, with a 225-60-15 tire for mock. Subframe is billet aluminum mounted, so no worries on flex travel. I measured from the OEM pinstripe crease, to the untou...

Re: DIY Flex Fuel Lines

So you're using rubber hose and not nylon hose, then? Using fuel injection rubber hoses. Russel makes an -an in metal that snaps onto the oem fuel rail. Autozome has the plastic one which can work in a pinch but I would not consider it a permanent solution. Hit up one of the venders or ebay for an ...

These are 90 deg elbow fuel connectors, all around. Really need it to clear the rear proportioning valve lines.
Will repost better picture once I get everything hooked up.

Re: DIY Air box

Using magnets as a clamp to body, started working wheelwell edge to fit.  See the hole I mentioned in back plate corner.

After getting hole position figured, cut and final mock-up.  Rivet, screw, weld, your choice.  These are the two hardest pieces to make.<br />Can make it fully enclosed quite easily from here, at the cost of access to backside of the headlight.

Please keep in mind, fender liners are critical to keep a good chunk of dirt and debris out of this area.

Re: DIY Air box

Apparently, only allowed 3 pics a post :withstupid
Sharpie the aluminum you want to bend.  Take the propane torch and apply heat, like a rattle can paint job, on aluminum until the markings disappear, you are now at annealing temps to bend.

This is the hot side.  Wanted it flush mounted with inner edge, as seen in final pic.  The tight radius bend will be the most difficult to bend up.

DIY Air box

This took some work, just to mock up before I touched the aluminum. Take into account, my DIY engine mounts put the engine as far back, and low, in the engine bay as possible, so intake pipe location may vary.

This is the back plate, near coolant tank.  Ignore 'add 1/8', and move the whole line 1/4&quot; over, to get it flush mounted to inside of fender.<br />The 3/4&quot; on the bottom, is the contact edge with wheelwell.  I would recommend going with 1&quot;, seeing after final mock up I ran out of aluminum at the bottom of the jointed corner.

This is the wooden buck needed, to get the 25 degree bend needed to get the general shape of the wheelwell surface to work with.
