Supra Sideskirts :), Molding process- Options

[mgnt232]

So I got the sides the other day, but it was raining ....and most of this morning. but as soon as it stopped.... I started

So its a very long process of getting them to fit but I really like the look:). And thanks to AJ I had a general idea of what to start with (he was very helpful) but put my own spin on alot of it, which i thought was easier.
Any how, I got one almost "done" still have a ton! of work to do, to mold it all flush, but thats alot easier than holding SS up and marking out, and cutting, and holding, and trying to rivit it, all by my self lol.

Heres some pics

Walk out

Cut for the "vent" (vent doesnt actually do anything, i covered it in the back)

A few different angles when i cut enough and had it fall into place well enough to rivit it in

Cut the rear off, extending, ran out of resin so I had to stop

Started laying out the mat, getting it all ready (mainly in my head )

Started to spread the resin, but I ran out




Rest of the pics are mainly how it looks now, keep in mind, I ran out of resin, I will be finishing it tomorrow along with the other side





Tell me what you think I know its not everyones style .. And if anyone has questions ask its not as hard as it may look... if you have some patience .. the only "body work" experience I have is putting on my invader kit

I LOVE IT! if i felt like being a copy cat I'd do the exact same thing because that is
SEXYYYYYYYYYYY! Cars that people make completly the own are the best. . i mean how
many celicas are there with O.E.M? a ton..

how many have 1 of a kind supra side skirts? probably not many if not just you (:


Great job man, can't wait to see more updates then in person!

right! thats what i was going for. I mean I like the OEM look, and how people do the GT-Four front end conversion...but i didnt want to be like everyyyyone else lol.
As far as i know this has only been done one other time, by AJ (who sold his car), but i stayed in contact with him, so he was able to help quite a bit, just from a few pics he had... but pics are not, a 100% reference, as all kits are made a little different, and we did it a little differently.
But go ahead and be a copycat lol idc, AJ really wanted for someone to follow in his foot steps when he "retired", and he has a alot! more great ideas ill be trying out in the near future.
