    Finally back to doing some Fox body custom work!

    Dave, the parts aren't too different from a manufacturing standpoint. The ones I've shown start out as flat panels with holes cut in them, but I've chosen to bend mine. Nothing wrong with their part, but I feel a bent panel is indeed much more aesthetically pleasing. Materials seem the same...

    Finally back to doing some Fox body custom work!

    It's beyond difficult, there's simply not enough room (using the stock bend point). :( Got one other shot that shows the surface finish a little better.

    Finally back to doing some Fox body custom work!

    To be honest, I don't want to copy their work. You can purchase one straight from them at gaugeplates dot com. Pretty sure it's still available. I've always wanted to see one of these panels bent to the correct OEM lines, so that's what I'm gunning for on this project. Because of this, a...

    Finally back to doing some Fox body custom work!

    If you're not around here much, just bookmark my site and watch it later this summer. If you don't know it, my sig will be a big help. :D MuDDuq, that panel is cool. The bend I'm doing wouldn't work with your deck, a flat panel would be the only way to go. I like how that company uses a...

    Finally back to doing some Fox body custom work!

    I know, didn't take it as bashing in any way. :nice: BTW, I've alread cut a panel like you suggested, but mixed it up a little. I did three gauges up high, a DIN radio slot, and a bank of switches below. This would be for a full HVAC delete. I'm just playing right now, so there will be...

    Finally back to doing some Fox body custom work!

    Agreed. Pay no attention to the layout as shown above, as it can be changed with just a little work in CAD. For fun, I'll make one in the layout you suggested today. I've got to adjust a few other dimensions, so I'll give it a shot! Very likely, but I'd like to keep this thread within...

    It was intentional, as you could imagine. :p

    LOL, my night shooting skills need MAJOR work! :( And I'm definitely washing my car tomorrow after work.

    Finally back to doing some Fox body custom work!

    Thanks. Yeah, I jumped right on this part, since I've been itching to find excuses to use the new plastic bender. I plan to do the silver or black finish layer next, as well as put some chamfers on the edges of the part's profiles. That'll give a nice look to the edges, imo. Got a few...

    Foxes At Night(pics)?

    My car's not too clean right now, but I'm going to take a quick cruise and snap a few pics. Been wanting to try some night shots, now is as good as ever. :D I'll post up in a few...

    Finally back to doing some Fox body custom work!

    That's a cool idea. :nice: Remember the larger size (double DIN) of the Shaker radio probably won't allow you to "step" the part. It would likely need to remain a flat panel to get it to fit, or the bend could be done much lower than the OEM bend point. :shrug: I definitely plan to cut...

    Finally back to doing some Fox body custom work!

    Been a while since I've done some custom work in a fox, and it's time to tackle a few ideas that have refused to exit my head. I've long wanted to build a few of these parts, so I'm excited to get started. Since I have a 92 in my garage, this is doable, and after a hectic winter my schedule...

    A burnout pic from this weekend

    Yep, I'm jonesing pretty bad. haha Just what I need, another expensive hobby. A wife, small business, cars and golf have me broke enough as it is. I just HAD to get into cameras.

    A burnout pic from this weekend

    Thanks. It was my first trip to any track (running) in quite a while myself. It is a Rebel XTi, and all the photos above where shot with a cheapy 75-300 telephoto lens. I am dying to get a really nice lens or two. Here's a few more shots from that day, albeit not 5.0 related:

    A burnout pic from this weekend

    Not sure about the wheels, but maybe this pic will help you. It's the only other shot I got of that car.

    A burnout pic from this weekend

    It was a lot of fun! :D To be fair, we were pretty good about keeping things safe for our members. "Fast" cars ran alone or against an equally matched/equipped car, and the slower cars ran with other slower cars. Besides, we had at least one pickup truck there in case we had to throw...
