Bangastangs or any other company's rad cover question.

Thanks a bunch man!! I should have her back running in the next couple weeks, finally! It's been down for 4-5 months now and I've been steadily working on it pretty much every day. I have over 200 hours in the intake, cables, and brackets to make it all work. I built everything from scratch myself. I can't wait to see how it all performs.

You got to post some vids of that when it's done. Got any picks of the fab process on that rad cover. looks pretty good

I cut it on a band saw then sanded all the edges smooth. Used a buddy's sheet metal brake to bend it. I made a poster board template first and also used a piece of aluminum welding wire bent to the shape of the car to use for a gauge for when I bent the panel. Worked perfect.

First off wow. That's some nice work. In the 6th picture from the bottom are those pins of some kind or on/off switches for something? Where can I get those?

Thanks man! They are really nice stainless steel water proof switches. I used them to turn on the gauges in the hood as well as the hood and radiator cover LED's. I used Rigid LED's and man they are awesome. I can work on the car in complete darkness and see right to the ground. Can see the headers and everything. On the hood I've got 3 white and 2 blue and the radiator cover has 2 blue. I wired them separately so I can do white or blue or both at the same time.

Here's a link to the switches.

Those leds are a pretty nifty idea. I come to realize I need to buy a metal break lol

My kids love them and they will come in handy. Here's some more pics of what I've got done. Shouldn't be much longer now!

I have to ask. What's with the A+ on the intake pipe?

Lol my buddy's been a welder and fabricator for 20+ years. Anyways he went through joking around and graded all my work.

 

[SOVACobra03]

Haha ok it makes sense now

That cover looks perfect but I wonder how it would look with a TF tank?

 

[SOVACobra03]

I agree. He should make me one to test it out lol

I think it would look good but it would probably need to get notched out for the tank mounts. Would be cool to integrate the tank as part of the cover.

Again I have a puto we can test this with... I'm just saying lol
