pottery clay + my wife = ???, she's almost done with my new addition to the car Options

[DEATH]

I'm so down - this is exactly what my car needs before I paint her

[easternpiro1]

I don't have a GT4 grill to be 100% sure, but base on the mold I made of Jim's front end, GT4 grill will fit with no proboem, but I'm going for something more like this


I think it'll be more unique and wil catch people's eyes more.


















































that would be funny wouldn't it ?

I may just get a Home depot grill for the time being, a Gt4 grill if I can find a deal on one down the road.

oh thank god! i was thinking the same thing ol buddy was... R U SERIOUS?! but what saw did u use to cut the hole?

[Culpable04]

bad news on this

around a month ago, my sister's BF hit my car with his brand spanking new SUV while parking, my high beams were pushed down a little, well, I kind of forgot about this when my wife was making the clay piece and the mold, today I took the bumper off and fixed the headlamps, well, now that they are fixed, the piece sitcks out a little, I would say ~ 1/8 of an inch. I'm still gonna finish it, but I will have to get a second bumper to do it all over again, in order to get a perfect mold to be able to reproduce it for a few friends that need this.

I have pictures, but I'm lazy right now, so I'll post them some other time. fully painted ( kind of finished ) pictures should be up by friday night

[Culpable04]

1- I ran out of bondo
2- I don't have the GT4 grill on hand to measure and cut the hole for it
3 while painting I ran out of paint and NO ONE sells it in a spray can around me so had to use duplicolor paint to finish
4- no I could not wait as I'm traveling to MA in the morning, so for now this is how it'll be, Monday I'm off so I'll fix it and cut the hole for the grill on Monday

this is coming out surprisingly well! Nice job Culp!

[Ruroniarc]

That looks really good. Keep up the good work.

[richee3]

Looks great! I want that so bad now but I'm content with my stock hood and bumper. It's all paid for- just the way I like it. But I've got the same problem you had, with my high beam being pointed down... Sending PM

[HerosBlade]

It came out really nice. Can wait till you finish it up.

[96bluevert]

Great job! Almost looks like it came from the factory that way

[Mstoochn]

*scratches head*

[Culpable04]

The paint has run areas, but I'll fix that tomorrow, just spray it to see how it was coming. Grill is ready to fo in, just need to make the adapter to have places where to bolt it and call it done.

I already have pictures with the grill fitted but not secured, I'll upload those later.
