Plasma cutters take a little getting used to until you have directional control too Before that you're just cutting squiggly lines everywhere.

 

OMG, .... that place is quite bizzare. Never knew about it until you mentioned it here. I just had to see what it was.
Kinda like walkin into a gay bar and being caught by surprise! Whooopps
Keep your children away!!

 

You forget...I get paid big dollars to draw perfect ellipes and beautiful lines all week long...

 

 

You are correct. Rally, you are on top of your game, man.
Glad you're still in school, if you were out here with the rest of us, we wouldn't be able to keep up with you.

BTW, I made a metal template of the vent when I did my hood, much easier to cut that way.

 

Oh my God

I have been staying clear of all the hate propaganda from the typical
haters, so I can stay possitive and keep my blood pressure at a liveable
level. So with that I like to appologize for not coming in here and make my points or add any input to the discussion at hand.

The M7 DFIC Air Extractor is done and will ship within 10 days.
I will have tons of images to share later this afternoon with a how to
and much, much more.

And finally a thank you to all of my great customers out there who knows
and appreciate all we do for the community.

Greg V. call me...

I often have heated debates, but they tend to stay on topic of the data and interpretation. Too bad many don't know how to disagree without getting personal.

Oh well, Takes two for peace, only one for war...

Cool!! I was just going to ask that

Nik

 

Do you have a link? You know it's like having to look at car wreck on the side of the highway, you just have to take a peek .

 

Hahah I'm a metal sculptor...I've had my fair share of "oops" cuts and wouldn't want to risk that on a hood:impatient

The template is perfect...especially if you can rest the cutter on the edge and run it along the perimeter. It's always a good idea to make it a bit smaller than you want the hole for a little extra safety.

Theoretically, someone could fabricate their own vent out of welded metal to make it a little more subtle correct? (assuming you also routed it to the back of the IC)

 

a nice CF hood with molded reverse scoop would be hawt

 

you always have the mini clubsport one....though i think that would be too much venting for the IC

 

As of two hours ago my order was placed with M7 .
Installer & Painters all set to go.
I might post pics when done , unless a riot ensues during the interium

 

So whats it cost?

Anybody that wants to use my plasma cutter can stop by my place... I'd love to help you carve up YOUR bonnet.

I'm good at turning paper templates into sturdy wooden ones that you can trace with the plasma cutter, too.

Wow, it's calm around here.

 

Never used a Plasma Cutter, cut my hood the "old fashion way" die grinder and cut off wheels. D@mn it took a long time and h*ll cutting curves. You'd think a sculptor would get with the modern times. But, I don't have much need for a Plasma Cutter doing bronze figures. But more toys would be fun. First I need that TIG welder. Then I might try the metel version of a hood scoop. Till then the old fiberglas version will have to do.

 

And yes it's a bit of mayhem there, but in a way it's refreshing to have some posts that aren't nearly so child frendly... And there are a couple Avatars there I'd love to date!

In the Mustang world I came out of, if you posted in a performance or suspension thread without the tech to back you up, you'd get reamed a good one! Also, there was higher tolerance of complaints against vendors.

But there sure is some interesting reading there! I've asked how I rate on the MiniNuts scale, (it's uses different vocabulary depending on how much the think you perform oral sex or get pounded in the rear by the vendors, M7 in particular, none of the descriptions are allowed here!)

To tell the truth, I was laughing a tons of the posts. You guys think I sometimes use creative imagary and vocabulary!


Matt

 

When you get that TIG welder, please do teach me how to weld

 

This is great! Can't wait to see the pics. Perhaps another MOTD install for me?

 

That is exactly what we did.

Are you telling me that the hood pictured is all steel? If so, that is an excellent job!

Last I knew, the AES(air extractor scoop) was more subtle looking than the one on Randy's POS hacksaw car.
Somewhat like a DFIC scoop reversed. I have pics somewhere, but not sure if it's ok to post them.

 

I actually don't know how they did the car i posted...it is excellent work. Just used those pics to explain what i meant

 

Oh no another acronym "AES". Just go to a classic car show on a Friday or Saturday nite in anytown USA, and you will see work like that hood all over the place, they are usually very friendly and tell you where they got it done .

 

My install took about a hr to complete. It took me about 30 min to get the supplied template just rite and Steve another 30 min with his air driven saw blade. The template was on the money and really made it a lot easier than i thought. The first time the blade punches thru the metal causes a bit of a twinge but after that you just want to get it done !

Ahhh, yess, .... I remember that feeling, quite a long time ago .

 

I'll be calling the M7 International Headquarters for my M7 AES in the morning.

How about a CF AES? Is that possible to match my DFIC CF Scoop?

Peter, hook me up!!!
