Does anyone have a template or sizes of one. Possibly pictures of it uninstalled. I want to make one out of Alumn.

There is a free template at www.nwstp.com under projects.

The front edge does need to be supported to keep the weight off the CCHE.

I am going to make some out of rubbermaid containers, saw a template somewhere on the web, when I find it again I'll post it.

The price is $75.00 plus shipping. Shipping is normally around $12.00. Hope this helps.

I don't have any problem with my aluminum scoop. It bolts directly to the lower intercooler with the existing 5 nuts and I don't have any problem with air flow. Go to the web site for furthur details.

What thickness of aluminum where you using? I made mine out of aluminum and that mother aint going no where. My heat exchanger bracket will break before that scoop will.

I am not really sure. My scoop would hold up just like yours would. I don't think I am too keen on putting a bucket underneath my truck. It's just my preferance.

as the designer of the NWSTP version I am partial. At one time I sold them, but have no desire anymore, so gave dimensions out for everybody..

I used Aluminum, I haven't seen any copies though use as thick as I did, mine is 2yrs old, and going strong. I like the thicker versions.

Mine also does not attach to CAC in any way, IF you hit something, CAC will most likely remain in tact, I have seen it. Scoop was gone, CAC still good.

Just FYI...

I tried aluminum and it didn't hold up well. That's why I went with stainless steel on the Blade of Death.

Here's a link to Randy Reeds before and After installation.

Funny this discussion came up as of now because two weeks ago i heard this scraping sound ... when I came around a corner...
(picture snow & ICe.. I live in alaska)
figured it was the blade... didn't look at it... a couple days passed... ice had been building up outside the garage... cable guy shows up... back out my truck so he can have access to the ceiling... in doing so I hear another scrape/screach... (blade hit the ice bump) ... proceed to park my truck on the other side of the garage... (hit the ice bump again) another screach... saw the pain in the cable guys eyes... "replied don't worry bout it just a piece of stainless steel .. should be fine..." decide to take a peak.... damn if I wouldn't know it but the blade was curve shaped like a banana....
proceed to jack up the vehicle and take it off... figure I'll find a metal press and flatten it out...

point is... stainless steel does not = indestructable...

Hey bob... saw your site... don't have the cash as we speak.. strapped... hit with $4500 bill for flying.. maybe in a couple of months.. you still be making them then..
looks like you're using the scoop with Jim's skid plate... that's what I've been looking for.... let me know...

I also had one made to the specs from the NWSTP site,I had mine done by a chasis shop,and used a different aluminum than they (NWSTP)suggested so it wouldn't have to be welded.They guarantee'd it won't break,unless I run over something major.I have pics of it not installed yet if anyone wants to see it,just email me- fastcars@gateway.net

I used 1/4" ABS plastic. It is very rigid.
Then had the place make the 2 90 deg. bends needed.

Cut & trim to fit.
It cost me about $30.

I use 4 of those Chrysler trim panel fasteners to hold it to the sides of the CCHE frame. That way when I hit a speed bump to fast and it hits it just pops off. I stop and pick it up then reinstall later.
Takes about 30 secs. to put it back on.
