I haven't taken it out and really tested it, it's only been on for a couple days but I'll let you know.

For everyone who is interested, I would be able to sell these. My father actually created the design and built it himself. He has about 30 years of experience doing fabrication and machining work and is always doing custom things such as this on the side. So yes, it can be done but considering he would build each one by hand, it would take a couple weeks to get each product out.

I think everything is good, and don't get me wrong, I'd love one in red... but I think the bars with the hinges wouldn't do much, since they aren't stiff enough? But great work none-the-less =D. Thanks for the pics ma'am =D

Yeah, I'm not in a hurry either, let us know a price! I'd like mine unpainted please!!

camarowa · 01-30-2011, 02:56 PM

Yes please let us know. If the price is right I would really want it. I will take mine unpainted.

Coop · 01-30-2011, 03:27 PM

Very interested. Would make sure it would fit those who have a Maggie supercharger.

SSMOKN · 01-30-2011, 03:43 PM

I like it!

rdono · 01-30-2011, 08:17 PM

Would it not make more sense to tie in to the firewall instead of the core support, that way it would stiffen the engine bay and not transfer damage from a front impact to the towers. Just suggesting a minor redesign. It does look great, nice workmanship.

blackknight · 01-30-2011, 08:24 PM

wow very cool. Id be intertested....

bee sting · 01-31-2011, 08:54 PM

Cool love it,don't change a thing, except colors.

Brianskeet · 02-01-2011, 12:26 AM

Fantastic fabrication skills! I really admire people that have that level of skill with their hands. I am a pretty handy farm boy and can handle a set of tools, but nothing like that! Congrats.

I'd like to see a better pic of the mounts. Not sure what you're attatching to on the strut towers. What are the forward bars for? It does look amazing though. Very nice skillz indeed.
