The unorthodox budget Firebird (-74)

[Ripper]

Needed some air extraction from engine bay

Stock Trans am extraction looks good. Didn't find any used, and didn't have the patience to try to adapt them. Needed something quick to see if it made a change since it's only one week left on driving season here...



So I printed something similar...



But first, print a prototype and position it


Then print a guide for cutting


As I said... quick.

Love the custom touches! That is a huge extractor! Should get some heat out of the engine bay. Are you going to run any ducting there?

Last drive for the season! Winter season starts now...
Didn't have time for more than a job commute, but at least the weather was with me

Looks killer man! Did the fender modifications help with lowering temps?

[Ripper]

it seems to have helped a bit. Of course it was slightly colder in september than in august. Nevertheless it runs a lot cooler in lower speeds than before so I guess it has helped some.

Wow

I realize that it’s a wrap, but that color combo is a winner.
