Cut a few holes in the C5

[Wegone]

Got home from Tampa Friday nite and found a box on the door step

Guess you can tell what I did today

Really looks great! Thats the next mod I want!

 

[DkBG]

They do look great ! How long did it take to do ? Are you experienced at body work ? Cliff

 

[Wegone]

Took about 5 hours...only body work was cutting out the openings..but I have done my share of body work on Vette's over the past 30 years

Most of the time was spent making sure I cut in the right spot and ajusting so the vent lined up right.

Here is a great write up on doing this off CF

Just get the parts..and we can do it..as long as you can bear to watch your baby get cut on

 

[sweet04]

Seriously? Just a few questions.... how long does it take? How much does it set you back? And can I be HEAVILY sedated prior to the first cut?

is it pretty much idiot proof? (or would anyone admit to screwing it up?)

Got the kit from Mid America cost round $225 plus shipping, came with template and all 4 parts you will need 8 10mm nuts & washers ..Check out the link in the post above..



Took about 5 hours. You will have to supply your own sedative I’ll be happy to partake in the sedative after the job is done.



My office is in Tucker Ga. If you would like to see how it looks before you commit, just drop me a pm.

Thanks! If I decide to do it, I'll get back with you after the holidays (I'd like to see how it looks before I place an order). I pass through Tucker on my way home from work...I'll check with you later after I extinguish a few small fires...

Thanks.

Twice??? Now thats an understatement :L I cut the holes a bit small than filed to fit. There is a good bit of overlap on the edge of the duct.
