Burnout guards
 
Have a friend looking for some aluminum burnout guards for a G Body, 1978 Malibu wagon. The kind that mount in fender lip and go under rear quarter,

Let me know if you have any or know who makes them.
thanks
Mark Lewis

The trickest ones I've ever seen are on Scott Gove's A/SA Camaro - made from carbon fiber. I sure would like to know who made them...

I don't have a picture to share...maybe someone does or knows who makes them?

I believe Randy Broadbent makes them. He is on FB!

You can also make a template from a cereal box-type cardboard, and make them out of aluminum or steel.

I used to make them, about 20 years ago. Never found much of a market.
The pre-bent ones take a big box to ship. Also many racers have stretched wheel openings, where a specific model part number won't fit well.
Unless a racer /fabricator is willing to work with you at the track, I'd suggest making your own.
Find a small sign shop near you. They'll have .040 aluminum, which doesn't need to be pre-rolled. Also , they will have baked on aluminum in colors.
Make a cardboard pattern with one crease on the corner. Have them shear out the metal , and brake the bends for you.

More specifics? PM me.

Back in the day, Sid's used to make some "Way-Cool" Sheet Metal & Aluminum Carb covers.
