Custom built rad support cover

[Phil04Cobra]

Hey guys. Just thought I would share my custom rad support cover I designed and built for my 04 svt Cobra . I have spent quite a bit of time on this over the last 8 months and it has finally paid off . It's laser cut from 18 gauge aluminum and I am making more units in the near future .
Here are some pictures from throughout the development
This is what they look like straight from laser cutting

I make all the bends on a hand brake . Raw aluminum unit .

Then finally a black powder coated unit (finished product)

This Is by far one of the toughest things I have ever built in my life . I took the extra time to make sure the fit and finish is perfect , there are no big gaps around the hood latch and its fits on the car without any issue or stress on the unit .
All in all I am extremely happy with how it turned out.
Let me know what you guys think !

That looks great. If you decide to make more of these to sell I am interested?

A better view of the cutout . I didn't want to have large gaps so my tolerances were tight

Like really good! If you do start selling them on he side you're going to have to have more room for error cause the latch isn't in the same spots.

P.s I always hated doing all the math for bend radius

All you have to do is loosen the 3 bolts that hold the latch in place and adjust it accordingly. Shouldn't be an issue.
It's definitely a pain figuring out where things will end up after the bends are made.

What did you do to change the latch handle from yellow to black?

Plasti dip. Works good. Just have to freshen it up once in a while

Great job, it's very nice when you build something using your own hands and shop skills.
