    So me and jimmy (jimmygrrr) came up with these based on some photos of the older ones. They still need some more refinment. But they fit together quite nicely. Credit to jimmy who did all the machine and computer stuff, and he rolled it, so he basicly did it all. I think they look good black.

    I have no idea what it looks like. I think it is a water jet.

    You have two carbs that flow about 150-170 C.F.M. ea but your air cleaners probably flow about 75-80 ea.

    Awesome! I've been looking for the "clover" type for a while. I've been thinking about having someone cut me some, like this. Really great work, guys!

    Looks really good. Was thinking of air flow too. If it is waterjet then try it in some of that multi-fine holed stainless steel stuff, don't know what it is called.

    I hate to just repeat what everybody else has already said, but yes, that will slow down your 1/4 mile ET, but I bet you could sell a bunch of it....

    Nice work, -Abone.

    james, they look awesome in black!!!

    the machine uses was a waterjet, but I think I would go with laser if I had to run more than 2 at a time to save some time on the machine.

    thanks for the complements guys, its was james' (junkyard kid) idea to make them, I had a good time trying to get it to work.
     
  21. guess my pic post didn't work out. The pic is on my profile of the machine running the parts.
     
  22. "multi-fine holed stainless steel stuff"... screen or hardware cloth...the ability to look cool is restricting you engine's ability to breath....make the pattern bigger....black looks great.....I'm ready to order 3 ......
