We wrote an article exposing a kit-car company called Streetbeasts.

Now, they've tried to silence us with a frivolous lawsuit.

Guess what happens when unethical companies try to bully hotrodders out of their free speech?
Get the details, and see how you can lend a hand.

06-07-2009 06:57 PM Heat shield for ECU
The ECU is a little too close to the engine so I fabricated a heat shield out of steel. It's pretty rough but works. I attached it to the Master Cylinder support bracket.

The 1st pic shows a box covered and trimmed, ready to install. The 2nd pic shows a different angle. I think they turned out great and they fit nicely over the wheel cover. The photos don't show the different colors very well.

12-06-2008 03:24 PM Wheel Covers 2
At first I was going to simply cover the box with vinyl. We decided to use 2 colors, the main tan color will be on the side to match the side panel of the truck. The top of the box will be the darker highlight color. I also decided to pad the top. This posed a bit of a dilemma because I wanted to use metal corner trim on the edge to protect the box edges from getting scuffed. If I used foam I knew the metal trim would sink in to the foam. I decided to try some jute material instead. Bad idea. After covering the jute with vinyl it looked very lumpy.
So I ripped it off and used the foam instead.
The 1st and 2nd pic shows a box ready to foam. The 3rd pic skips ahead to both boxes covered ready for the metal trim.

I decided to build boxes for the wheel covers. THe 1st pic shows the box being constructed. The 2nd pic shows it done but not cut to fit the angle of the side of the truck. The 3rd pic shows the box after I cut it to fit the angle of the side of the truck. Now it's ready to cover.
