I got the same heaters with radiant floor heat..

What did you guys do the outlets on the manifold and water pump. Did you just plug them?

coming from a VW past like mine ...i say throw an electric fan under the hood and have it blow the warm air over those headers and into the cab....i mean it worked for the VW BUG....just sayin..LOL

Spoke with a new fiberglass company today ...Excited about their potential to speed up this process a bit , with better quality and better service !! They also spoke of the possibility of offering 3 different versions, Hand laid for a top notch job , and then done with a chopper gun for a more economical version and last but not least the CARBON FIBER version , anyway excited about the potential !!

Not a big difference, maybe a little consistency in the thickness of the parts.
Chopper gun parts have a little more resin content, but are seamless in construction. The hand laid part will be pre-patterned and the material will be pre-cut to keep the layers very consistent. They tend to be a little lighter (not much, 1-2 lbs). The outside of the parts will look identical because they come from the same mold. It's really more of a time saving thing for the fabricator. Less time to make the part = cheaper labor = more cost effective.

The carbon fiber parts will be strictly for looks. They would normally be 30-40% more than the hand laid parts because the visual layer is so hard to make look good, and the material is a little more. These are not going to be aircraft quality auto clave parts, but will look like it when there done.

I work with another company that makes the best Carbon fiber valve covers and air cleaner covers I have ever seen. Maybe we can do a combo package.

[NuttinSpecial]

Any updates on new tubz that are available?

[67cheby]

picking up 2 sets tomorrow to test fit

[bruin_d]

I've got about 300 miles on the road so far with mine and they are perfect. Took it to a car show last night and got a TON of compliments on them. I was sure to throw your name and business name out there and where to get in contact with you. More to follow with the BIG trip...

[67cheby]

SWEET ...thanks Dennis, picked up a set for me today hopefully i will have a chance to put them in my truck and post some pics in the next few days !!

[eightbanger]

Is it absolutely not possible to have a set redesigned/modified to accommodate the folks running with stock hood hinges?
I think without that you'll be limiting your market. IMHO.
