AC Delete Plate

[87bigcut]

For those on here with an AC delete plate what did you do for a drip tray? My car may have to take some rain as my dad's camaro takes garage rights, but no snow. I see one is for sale for 99 dollars which seems pretty pricey.

Thanks,
Joe

Well since most guys that do that mod are more race oriented. I would say that nobody has attempted to retain the cowl piece. I know I didn't. If you come up with a slick way to do it, please share with the community.

I made one out of sheet metal. It won't go into any shows, but it does stop the rain.

In your pics- is that a home made alcohol system with the two nos solenoids?

That's the old SMC kit.

You pay for what you get. Don't know where the finished powder coated pic is right now, this was the prototype.

I built an underside bracket for my factory cowl screen. Then I continued the front edge with some sheet metal and brought it right to the corner to make it symmetrical with the other side. Then I put a piece of weather stripping over it to complete the finished look. It may help a little to vent out under hood heat when the car is moving.

Total cost = 0 + time + scrap sheet metal + satin spray paint on the shelf.
