Hey, anybody have any ideas on what to build in metal shop. it's my second year in high school shop (senior now) and need some projects to get me through the year

so far my ideas are:
Strut Bars
c-pillar brace
chassis stiffeners generally

 

build some plates for shaving door handles, or take a tie rod a re-fabricate it shorter for some sort of use...invent something.

 

-oem style heat sheild for after market headers
-heat sheild for aftermarket intakes
-spiltters
-roll cage
-brackets/sliders
-medieval suit of armor with matching sword

 

one piece underbody splitter

those mini-wing in the front bumper..what is it call? those little L shaped thing

one piece strut bar upper/lower


s2k style shift ****

 

if you want to. i have a project... i just uni-body dropped my accord 2.5 inches and im all back together but strut tower bars wont line up any more. if you want to i could get you the specs i need and you could charge what you think its worth...the car is making its debut at SEMA '04 so you would have some credit too...

canards or spiltters. actually I think canards fit on the outside of the bumper.

you should build your own header or turbo manifold.
skunk2 style Intake manifold for the F-series.
lots of dressup items you can do...
-battery tie down
-pedal set
-dead pedal
True short shifter

 

a strut bar that not only ties the strut towers together, but also connects back to the firewall.

Umm, another idea would be a heatshield box for your intake filter. (if you have a short ram, and if not, you could avoid water issues by getting a short ram and going with this).....umm....maybe a sheet metal intake manifold if you don't mind doing some math and research to get it right.

intake manifold

do something that is new and creative but will save you money on yoru car in the future..


or build a bird feeding mail box!

 

exhaust gas throttle plate

 

I would definetly hook up a heatshield for the intake.. those work great..

P.S - Metal airbags also save lives

 

^build a header bracket that won't crack on H22 aftermarket headers

 

whoaitslen2 : splitters?

2+2=5: one piece underbody splitter?

bagged93accord : uni-body dropped? mabye i'll look into your project...just get me more info

KTeller8: got any more info on how i could do this?

iam7head: exhaust gas throttle plate...what for? what will it do?

 

how about this, look into making a 3 point strut bar for accords...one that goes from the strut to strut, but also goes to the firewall as well...s2k's and integra's get a lot of these, so why can't we have one?....we can if you make it...who knows, you might get rich off this ****...

 

how about a tubular front crossmember

 

bump, read my post and answer my questions

also, any more ideas?

i would like to have a 3 point tower bar or a neuspeed style. the only downfall is that you have to picture and take into consideration my clearance. my upper a-arms are now coming thru the hood so connections to the camber studs are tough. any ideas on your part..? hit me up with any more questions...

 

Take some pics and i'll go from there

one more thing..upper radiator shield/shoud

 

probably....good idea

anyone else want me to make them anything after i make on for myself?

 

Here is what you can build ME.

#1...Airbox intake. Just the box basically, i have the piping.

#2...Header heat sheild. Factory style.

#3...Topless battery box, with a hefty metal strap that wraps around it. For trunk mounted battery. Will be cutting a hole in the floor of the trunk and welding in requested box, so that the battery fits with the trunk floor.
^^^^^That's one's gonna be done soon no matter what.

 

battery box i could do

 

The problem with trying to make a 3pt strut bar is that our engines sit sooo far back, and even slant back. If you had a 3pt strut on there, it'd be in the way of quite a bit of stuff. It would also have to wrap around the IM, or come darn close to it.

 

try make this for a f23, i'll give you 500dollar paypal

 

um...you want me to make that WHOLE thing...or just the pipes and bracket?

eh...looks a little too hard
