PDodson Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Let me know what you guys think http://www.26liter.us/dugallery/pictures/headerpanel.JPG I know I know it is the wrong color so dont hassle me about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distorted.Clarity Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 why not just cut out from the top cut to the bottom cut all the way to the sides so its one large hole.. then take what ever your using to keep things out of there, like a screen for a window and paint it the same color as the car and put it in there. it will give the illusion that its all one solid peice untill you get up close, and this will give you more air flow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 it should turn out something like this: http://home.earthlink.net/~artinist/images/Howard%20Dreispan1.jpg http://home.earthlink.net/~artinist/images/Howard%20Dreispan2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDodson Posted September 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 yea artinist thats the look I am going for Howard sent me some pics of his car and some other pics a while back and I saw that pic and I liked it so much I was going to try it. I will probably have 4 big holes instead of 8 little holes, unless I can make the little holes even with my little dremel tool last time I used a jig saw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distorted.Clarity Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 i dont care much for the multi holes like that.. what im going to do is cut 2 huge holes on each side and have chrome thin lines going threw it to admit air but also keep it pretty open.. kind of like the grill under it hell i may just redo that one in chrome as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distorted.Clarity Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 thats a lot better looking!!!!!! that multi hole look just seems like someone desided to make a hole and then said welllllll lets add another,, over and over.. thats how mine is going to look after im done, it will be wider and a bit higher..

MikeMeyerhoff Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 I like Jozel's open grill piece. That probably helps alot and doesn't really change the factory look at all. mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87cquest Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 wow, Jozel's looks AWESOME. I have a spare header panel, and I was searching for that picture for the longest time. I was gonna try to copy it. Sweet. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 I am working on a similar design a jozels on an extra header panel. one thing to keep in mind is the choice of screen material. you have to go with something that has slightly larger holes than what the typical door screen material has that is used to keep bugs out. the smaller holes let may visually look like they will pass through a lot of air but in reality the are very ristrictive, especially at high speed, air litterally will flow over rather than go through. i have a local metal shop that has lot of very nice screen materials. i will get some probably tomorrow and put up a pic. I am also doing a similar mod to the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 looks like it helps alot, the biggest problem i have with it, its not parallel. messes up the symetry. thats why jozels looks so good, its very symetrical and the lines match the hood and bumper. now what i think would be sweet if someone cut out the tri star logo and put screen behind it. granted it wouldnt let a lot of air through but it would set it off. i saw an eclipse awhile back that had a huge tristar cut out of the hood and it had clear plexiglass i think so you could see the motor. it was nice looking. Pdodson, you notice any colling difference on your gauge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotpocket Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 I LIKE JOZELS! Paul, in my opinion yours looks good! I think(in my opinion) it would look better if you opened the left and right ones to match the opening of your grill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distorted.Clarity Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 i think thats the best looking one so far. nice big gap to let in a lot of fresh air im working on some ideas to let in even more fresh air then that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 if you notice he removed that black vented piece and made it out of sheet metal i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul87Quest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 I think that painting everything behind those screen flat black would help the look a lot.....it is kind of distracting seeing the intercooler pipe and cooler lines. You don't want to really see anything behind the screens (kinda ghetto looking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted_One Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 i like how jozel did his http://www.26liter.us/DUgallery/pictures/NewMitch006.jpg This is SWEET!! !! That would work KILLER with my FUSO IC because it would allow a littl more flow to the top as the IC is like 6" taller than the stock IC. -------------- You should get very good results with that mod Paul.
