A/O Engineering Forced Air Filler Plate

[Blue Flame Restorations]

I took the center cross piece to the mold maker today. I'll need a urethane mold made for this piece. It was injection molded originally.

He is making this mold with the remaining rear bumper molding molds.

I'll have front filler plates available soon.

Molds and Parts to make in December are as follows.....

* A/O Engineering Forced Air Plates DONE (waiting on center cross insert mold)
* 49th Street Rockers NEXT
* Callaway ZR-1 panels (for my personal ZR-1 needs ONLY - Modifying the kit for my own design)
* 1954 Motorama Fastback roof/trunk/door molds ALMOST DONE

February 2013 will be a nasty, messy month.....my shop will never be the same.

Guys, I admit that I'm slow with this stuff. This is not my area of concentration. This is extra side work for me but I do enjoy providing the parts.

Wow! These parts will be awesome!
Thanks for keeping the "hobby" alive!

Finally getting to do some mold making and deep fiberglass work this month. Here is the Forced Air license filler plate. The orange color is gel coat. The fiberglass matt and resin is applied next. This will happen in a few hours.

The center "cross insert" piece will be cast in a urethane mold.

Cost for the Forced Air license filler plate and insert will be $125 plus shipping.

Forced Air Mold is done now. Just need to pop it out of the mold and trim it tomorrow. This isn't a glamorous process but it has to be done.

Jep, I enjoy doing the work and supplying the parts when someone wants them. But most people don't understand the planning and work that goes into producing a part. If it was easy, people would do it themsleves.

I wonder what a squirrel would end up looking like after being sucked through an FBI modified LT5?

Brett, what modifications are going to be needed to hook up to our airbox?

There would need to be an air induction hose and a modification to the air box to accept the hose with a clamp.

[Pete]

Just for your info, i use it as a ram air.

I got a 5" hole saw with extension drilled a hole thru the bumber used a 5" round HVAC sheetmatel ducting ran it thru up to the air filter,i made a scoop screwed it to the air filter housing to catch the air.

You'll see it at BG.

I would call it something else. Wouldn't want any chance of a legal battle with AO. You could call it BFR Cold Air Intake.

I have no intention of mass production or getting into copyright issues. I have enough things to do as it is. LOL

I see that! Is that an optical illusion or are those skinnies up front on A molds?

You are correct those are skinnies on the car in that shot

[Pete]

Yes, those are narrowed stock A-Molds.
They always got "WOW those are the coolest skinnies"

Have sold them since to a member.

The cool part is they make a 17" skinny you can drive on the street.
Hoosier # 19055.

Do you recall what you had those "narrowed" to? Do you recall what it would accept?

*** I remembered having one or two 8.5 GM A-mold wheels. It certainly looks like you could do most any width you desired. The Hoosier you mention looks like it might like a 5" and that looks doable. The barrel of the wheel has a bit of a taper so I'd guess a person would have to have the shop confirm the capabilities.

I have done a few wheels with these guys,widenng/narrow.
I think those were done to 5"
I had bought those ready done.

I've sent a couple people to Weldcraft and have seen their results. I've never heard "bad"! They'd certainly be a first choice. I'm not looking to do any but it's an option to mention when I'm selling the 8.5" wheels I've got. I'm quite sure I've got a pair.

If you dont I have a single 8.5 in the attic if needed to make a pair. GC

I spoke to AO Engineering today. There are no plans to ever make this unit again. Just not enough demand.
