Here's a recent project we recently completed at the shop. This is the car when it arrived at the shop.







Here is some progress pictures.










Here is some of the finished product.





Front lower passenger hoodpin.



Out of the way and it wont scratch anything...













Bottom Water tank mount.

 

Man that looks sweet!!!!!!!!! What are the goals for the car?

 

the intercooler setup looks badass.

 

Where can I get those kind of hood pins?

 

Hehe I'd drive it on street with those mods done.

 

Nice work, turned out great!

dito!

Excellent work as always Tom. That alum weld on the L2AIC bracket is amazing.

Amazing job

 

Car came out great. I was very impressed with their work as always. Great job to Tom and Miller over @ NRG tech.

 

Is this James' car?

Very nice fab work btw

 

whoa I love this section lol

 

For the hood latches....

I thought that the parachute gave it away.... my guess.... drag.

 

Yah it's funny I assumed it was a road racing car in the first few pics and then saw the chute. Cool! I love all the little details on the car.

 

Amazing job.

 

very nice as always tom

 

car came out nice guys!!

 

SOooooo sick! I would totally drive that on the street.

It'd be sweet to run it in the SRWD class as well if it were possible.

 

nice very nice....

 

First off thanks for all the compliments on the car. Many people put hours of time into this to make it come out the way it has.

Tepid1 hit it on the head! We have a few set in stock as well. I love these things. They are made of some strong plastic. Quoted from their website as I would not be able to explain them any better... lol

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Aerocatch Website &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">The all-new aerodynamically efficient & aesthetically styled AeroCatch has set a new standard for panel fixing in the Motorsport and Specialist Vehicle industries.

“Ever since we began presenting the prototypes earlier this year, customer reaction has been very positive towards the AeroCatch. The aerodynamic advantages and engineered operating mechanism have made a significant step forward in Motorsport panel fastening especially for bonnets as it is also SVA (Single Vehicle Approval) compliant”. Says Peter Boote, Managing Director of Specialty Fasteners & Components Ltd, the Devon based company responsible for developing the fastener. They will be supplied as a kit consisting of two AeroCatches plus all the necessary installation fasteners, panel cutout template & fitting instructions. He also added “Whilst initial interest has come primarily from the Motorsport sector, the design concept has been engineered to provide a wide variety of fixing solutions in such diverse industries as marine, transportation & packaging.

The simple, yet very effective, locking operation evolved after many hours of 3D computer modelling. Production of SLS rapid prototypes proved all design criteria had been met including ease of operation, secondary locking and optional key lock. This extensive development was carried out in conjunction with XAT, the commercial engineering division of Exeter University. XAT were also charged with finding a suitable material that would operate under extreme conditions. “We were looking for a material that would offer similar performance to aluminium. XAT carried out the necessary research in parallel with the Finite Element Analysis and decided upon a lightweight glass reinforced engineering thermoplastic.” Peter continued, “Working with the University has introduced SFC to the latest R&D facilities, the result of which is that we have managed to keep all the specialist development and production work within the South West which is a tribute to how much expertise is available in Devon & Cornwall”.
