New Suit of Armor

[bbking9]

Just arrived. 0.040 thick. Quality is outstanding. Perfect fit. Damn, I need a new camera.

[ZippoMan]

Very nice!! Did you cut the panels yourself or buy them? I want to get some aluminum panels and I know I can't cut my own....not that good or even know where to buy the metal at.

[o0wiz0o]

Nice! Where from and how much?

[Die-Laughing]

One of the guys in the club has those on his wraith.. I think he said they are only available on ebay.

[1st-n-last59]

Not sure if those r his but clay at carter fab cuts aluminum panels for the wraith.

[bbking9]

Yea - but carter doesnt make hoods.

Advancedmetalfab on eBay - $63 shipped for everything including the rear filler panel with hitch and taillight protectors.. Carters stuff is really nice - but I wanted something thicker than .025.

This stuff is great and they are super fast shippers. If you hinge your hood - be sure and tell them you dont want the holes drilled in the 2 spots back by the dash. there will still be the 2 embosses there but they wont drill them.

i took it out today and beat it around and they still look great.

Sweet stuff! I will have to check them out and see if they ship to Canada.

Nope definitely not mine. I can make mine out of whatever thickness you want. I run .025 for scale and weight. Also the roof panel bend is all wrong and you don't get the firewall wrap with these. I do sale hoods and they make these look like a joke. They are made by a vendor on here, Shooter Fab(shooter125).Not saying your rig doesn't look good, it does. And I'm not trying to bash or get mad. I just choose to spend my money and support the site and vendors here.

I love that hood!! How much are they? It looks nice and big! I need a hood that will clear my level3 droop kit and also my battery installed up front! The stock lexan hood is very tight to fit now.

Roof panel bend all wrong - hmmm sorry - I didnt realize there was only one way to do it.

I cant use the inner fender wells - I have to get there since that is where my battery plugs into my ESC.

[Ace138]

The rig is looking good man. We'll get some good pics of it at Murrell Park.

[bbking9]

Hey Charlie, Look forward to it.

[RampantRC]

Wow. Someone is mad even if they say they aren't mad. Glad I saw this before I decided on who to order my set from.

[SCREAMER]

Why exactly did you dig this up from over 4 years ago?

Why exactly did you feel the need to ask me that, in that tone?

This thread is actually why I joined the forum, as op had referenced it in another thread, which I found while googling photos of AFM's products. I couldn't search for it until I joined. EXCUSE ME for not looking at the date.

Just order from AMF. Their products are awesome. I recently purchased a full set of their panels for my Wraith and the fit and finish is great. They're available from several site vendors. Don't be butt hurt. Digging up old threads is always going to get attention on a forum. Part of the fun of forums is seeing who you can annoy.

[SCREAMER]

No, no rule against digging up 4 year old posts to add your contribution. My question was genuine and I got my answer and more. Welcome to RCC.

I've been on forums since the beginning of the interwebz. I always appreciated people who looked through the old stuff before starting redundant topics. Maybe I'm just old school like that. No butt-hurt here, I just don't tolerate condescension from anyone and tend to respond to it in-kind. As for AMF, I'll definitely be getting their panels. Especially since I live 2 miles from their shop.

Don't feel bad, I have sent half a dozen pm's regarding some fabrication work for custom axle housings in the past. Not one reply. I ended up giving my money to someone else.
