I think the FD would be exciting for the FC...i am curious to see the final product

 

Mmmk. This is nearly impossible. The fenders in OEM form will not fit the FC chassis. Neither will the doors. If someone knows someone who knows how to injection mold i would sell the design to them and they could make poly fenders..

 

Yeah I think the Vert is sold to a guy in the boro. I still have a 88t2 project but due to the "seperation" I am having to liquidate some stuff. Hence the Vert..

I am finishing up a paintjob/bodywork on a 99 escalade right now, and then this project will go into full swing. I would be more then happy to paint your car along with the front end conversion.. BTW you still have your CBR? I still have my 05 and when the weather breaks we need to ride if you still have it.

 

sounds like a great idea! you all know me.. i like to be different! i wont be buying a kit.. but i wish you the best of luck! and many nights of headaches

 

I figured the doors would require same heavy chasis work, but didn't realize the fenders would. Oh well. For the original poster gauging interest, count me as uninterested.

 

i wonder what your idea would look like on an FB or SA ?? ..... almost might have that old Jag look (?!)

anyone know how to use photoshop to blend those two bodylines just for fun ?

 

wow bro, thats some crazy amount of custom fiberglassing/welding/brain work. anyways, whats your projected buying cost on the parts? and would a group buy be possible, cause im looking at updating the body on my car with either a shogun kit or that. just, some info would be great.

peace

 

After careful consideration the hoods and bumpers are not economical to build. All I will produce will be the fenders and headlight lids. The bumpers will allow you to buy an FD bumper and hood and put them on your FC. I will also build the mounts for the front bumper and headlight lids.

 

To answer your question. The projected cost for the fenders will be close to $250 for the pair.

The brackets will be determined after I have the actual measurements.

But remember at this point I am not signed up as a VENDOR and will not be taking orders until I have a complete PERFECT set and then set up a ad with the forum.

 

The front end is WAY to narrow on the FB's.. Maybe with a widebody rear...

 

Actually I had a VFR.....and like a friggin dumbass I sold it. But I got what I paid for it.

I am seriously needing paint this summer, its falling off EVERYWHERE now!! Damn Mazda white paint.

I am planning on getting another bike soon, if I can find what I want that is. I'm picky now!!

 

rc51 will be my next either that or the 1098.. Those are sweet...

 

Well I mocked it up a little today. I am not quite sure as to weither the stock headlight buckets will work. May have to do some spacing of the oem buckets furthur forward to accomodate the hood.

 

wow, 250 for the pair, plus w/e for w/e is needed. i like that, much better than the wide body fenders that other guy is/was selling for 650.

peace

 

What does w/e stand for? The most expensive part of all this is building the mold. The mold itself will cost me in upwards of $1000 in all actuality. the mold itself in materials is going to be a little over $600 then add in the fab work and purchase price of th OEM parts.. THe fiberglass itself is cheap to work with it's all in making a good mold. The more time and effort you put into your mold the better quality the parts will be, also the effort in producing the parts goes down. Shipping of the fenders will top the $100 mark to most places so the total will be colse to $350 for the pair shipped.

 

w/e stands for whatever good luck on the project cant wait to see the finsished results

 

no kidding, its gunna look dope as hell. another question, what rear end would be a good idea to use? as well as sideskirts to complete the look?
and w/e stands for "whatever", nvm=nevermind, omgwtfbbq (figure it out!)

Oh my god What the Fu*K and Barbeque? LOL..

 

progress? trying to keep this thread alive.

peace

 

Worked on it a little today.. I am going to keep my vert as the guinee pig...

 

omg, thank you rrtec, i though this thread just died, i still want that conversion.

Peace

 

wow, i like it, might be interested in doing this.

 

Me as well. It really opens up front body kit options. BTW, does anyone know where o get oe of those corny Enzo front bumpers?

 

keeping thread alive!

Peace

 

I think it looks real good. Ill def think about geting one made. If i dont figure it out for my self
