Trans Tunnels Anybody?

This weekend, hopefully tomorrow, after work, I am gonna throw my trans in (not with engine, just set on jackstands and in the mount/crossmember) to set my pedal ***em back up and start to think of fabbing my trans tunnel. Any suggestions? I have seen the oil drums thing on an angle, but that freaks me out a little. I guess just hand rolled/formed shells with 1 inch 90s for rivits? Suggestions, pics, ideas, and all of that good stuff.

 

I made a pattern out of 1/8" rod I could form and tack weld and then fibergl***ed it on both sides.

 

There are a lot of really nice tunnels ****tered all over the HAMB. Here is one I made for my model A. 16ga. with a 12 ga. flange.

 

Lots of work, but DAMN!

The pics I posted are the work of HAMB member (51Gringo) very talented.

Some more pulled from the HAMB.

 

Back when I was building my '27 I got the floor in and needed a tunnel. I looked around and spied the trash can in the corner. A small 13 gal. kitchen size with exactly the shape I needed. I slathered one side in Vaseline and started layering on the resin and mat. Took all of about 2 hours start to finish and I had a tunnel that looked like factory made and cost about $20 in materials. Quick, cheap and easy, you gotta love it.

 

Here is one I did for my buddy out of 16 gauge.

 

Nice

 

Metal Man- That is art my friend. Looks like a knights armor..

 

This is the one I did for my rpu project. It is done in 18 gauge.

Man, I gotta sit back and be in awe some times at the quality of work I see on this site from day to day. You guys all rock! Great pics, great craftsman.

 

Thank you. I am humbled by the amount of quality work around here.
