Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

There's a thread on here about VWs owned by members.
You should post a pic and say hi.

Do a search for posts by me and you can find it. It's kind of old but you can wake it up.

Now, back to this thread and waiting for updates...

Hahaha. I see them stopping again just to get even for that comment. Hahaha. I definitely understand the insurance work before custom.

Looking forward to more updates. Stay warm! Too cold in my garage to get motivated to work on mine again the next day or so.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

I think the panels are a really good idea and will fit in well with the look of your engine compartment. I've been looking at the same area on my truck and while I won't have panels to hide it all, I think just hiding stuff on the backside of the radiator support will keep it out of sight for most people.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, you're just taking it another step further by going through the trouble to fab the panels. And there's nothing wrong with that!

I think it would be pretty slick if you curved the panel and the triangle core support to fender brace... if that makes sense.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

I like the idea of the panels. Planning to do a panel between the grille and rad support to hide my rad overflow and train horns and then another panel inside like you show to smooth that inner part of the radiator support out and have a place to hide wiring and plumbing for the horns, etc...

And I think you need these now that you will be running the budnik's
