looks like mike needs to set a ballpark price and get pop'n them out.. lol

I think they look good but I would not put them on my truck. The less in there the better.

They help direct airflow through the radiator, huh?

Looks like GM got it wrong all those years ago.

First gen small blocks have a lot of well documented problems, but chevy built them for about 40 yrs.......

their you go buy them from ecklers. i am not even going to attempt to make them now

67Slider · 12-31-2011, 11:30 AM

I just ordered mine from Ecklers. 112.23 shipped. They are having a 10% off over $100 until the 2nd.

Thanks for the info. I have been looking at these for about a year trying to decide if I really wanted one. I guess I do.

Happy New Year!

mbgmike · 01-01-2012, 10:34 AM

You can also buy them direct from the company that makes LMC's and ecklers.
undercover innovations is the company that makes them. We are opening an account with them. they make them for many vehicles.

At the cost they wiil sell them to us i am not sure its worth our time to mfg. We made a set this weekend but time wise I am not sure its worth making. We would definitly have to have water or laser cut to speed things up.

mcmlxix · 01-02-2012, 12:38 AM

Undercover Innovations

xb9rguy · 01-02-2012, 04:16 AM

As soon as I saw theses I thought man those would be easy to make. I think I am going to have to make myself a set of these when I get some slow time at work.

DUTCHMAN · 01-04-2012, 06:20 AM

I like them too, was wondering does anyone know why there are 2 types, 67-68 and 69-72, is there a difference between those years?

Yeah, I ordered it and it was already shipped before i heard about Ecklers. Thanks!

doodah man · 01-07-2012, 09:54 PM

What would make them that much better is a recessed area on either side of the hood latch that would act as a tool tray. That way everything you want isn't falling through all the time. I've been thinking about making something like that for a while.

Do any of them not require cutting the rib off the core support?
