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 -------------------- |

Thanks for all the support everyone
So I had a shortened day at the garage cause I have to go work in a few mins, but the front vents are 100% molded, and the lines are a smooth as can be (spent alot of time on those today because they are so small, its hard to sand and get it right but I did it ) As for the rest of it, I applied 2 more light coats of bondo sanding in between, and i'd say its 75% done the lines are reallly looking good, almost like they are supposed to be there The way I see it, one more coat and some good sanding, possibly a few runs with the glazing putty, and its all done. The I am sanding the whole car down some more with 180, then 500-600. And possibly painting wends? I got some pics, of the finished fender vents, but my phone was dieing so I only have pics of the rest about an hour before i actually finished, it looks a little better, and pics never do anything justice -------------------- |
