Well, it's not raining right this minute, so here ya go. I'm trying to do something that follows the lines of the car, looks nice and clean, and also ties in front and back. Again, this is in 1/2 inch MDF, and is only a rough mock-up. I'm going to go get some clay and actually sculpt it on the car to do the final shaping. Some of the angles make it look huge, but it's only 5 inches wide at it's widest. Then the camera died (it goes through batteries like a hooker goes through condoms), so I need to go down and get some more of the front spoiler. This is just me holding it to get an idea of the shape and the flow.





Front

 

Looks interesting so far. I think if you take the ends that wrap around the edges and follow the body line, it might look better, but I LIKE the size!

Dressed in glass with a little shaping (thicker base to a thinner tip) it will look REALLY great. How far away are you from having a proto-type? What are you using in the photo's as a base?

 

I dont' want to follow the body line, because then it looks like every other spoiler out there. I might not wrap it around as much on the side, but we'll see.

Yep, that's the plan.

Depends on how much time I have to dedicate to it this weekend. I have so many other projects going on.

My left hand LOL

 

Sounds good then... if it's intentional then so-be-it! It might look that much better in the end. Do you have a rough idea in cost?

 

Best guess, $100 each, front and back.

 

it looks like the one i make Bro, availvable if interested.
Paulo.

 

Wow - on the cheap! I'll take 5 sets of each and hold them until they are *rare* pieces and sell them off FTW. Lol. If you need help on anything, I'm willing. I've been into glasswork for a few years now. If you want to send me a mold so I can pump some out for you, that's cool.

 

Nope, completely different. You'll see when it's done.

 

Hmmm seems interesting. Definitely would like to see more of the front splitter

 

I have decided that I hate you.

You get way too much time to work on the car. If I get 10 min a week, I am lucky.

On the other hand though, that looks good.



btw, when did hookers start using condoms?

 

Your hand scares me

 

Why? It looks deformed, but that's just the angle I'm holding it at... I guarantee you, other than a scar from having a screw put in my wrist, it's not mangled...

 

the airdam is way to reminicent of the ones on the camaro/mustang/rx3, i dont think it fits the car well at all

 

God forbid you wait for the finished product... LOL

 

I thought it was.

What will the final product be made out of? Using MDF for that too?

!!!!!!

 

Fiberglass for everyone but you. For you, cardboard and duct tape.

 

oh ill be looking foreward to it, but i dont see how it wont look like the style im talking about. im sure thats what you were going for, just doesnt fit the first gen at all

 

If you're making something similar to old Z-Cars front air dam, you can probably count me in for one.

Here's a pic I shamelessly stole to show what I'm referring to:


BTW, that's a TwinTurboed V8 out of an Infiniti Q45 stuffed in there.

 

Kinda sorta, but kinda not sorta.

And I'm gonna mess around with multiple designs, so we'll see what's what.

 

make a spoiler with flaps and i'll definately buy one (even if you can only cut the spoiler in two with an 1" radius and leave me to my own devices on making it articulate) hehe

 

Wait, run that by me... Explain what you want in detail, I'm not following you.

 

ok, so you know those r/c airplanes with flaps at the trailing edges of the wings? i think they're the 4 channel or 5 channel ones... cause my l'il old trainer plane didn't have em

why not do the same with your spoiler.


edit: you would need either an external linkage or a strong internal link

 

I still need most of that cardboard to live in pal !

 

 

the rear kinda reminds me of the older porsches.. but maybe thats just me.... im lookin forward to the finish tho
