Supposedly from Tony Stewart's car - for cockpit airflow. He had me at 5 bucks each. They are inline fans. The pictures make scale difficult - they are 10 1/4" long with 3" inlet / outlet.

Looks good... are they production units or some kind of custom pieces?

I looked for any markings on them and couldn't find any. Looks like the markings had been ground off of both.

Here is the back half of the body in the mold. It will be a few weeks before it is popped out. Remember, the car is going to have a flip front. We were talking tonight about a few features of the front - scoop, etc. The front will probably not have a scoop molded into it so guys can not have a scoop, if they wish.

The flares for the rear will be attached and blended in after this. We're still thinking about how we want the flares to look - hard edge or a smoother transition. Probably the latter as discussed previously.
