awesome pic

 

lol that has absolutely nothing to do with my build thread why would i post pics of your car and phillips ahahahaha

 

 

I think you should focus on 1 thing only till you actually finish it, and not on various projects at the same time, that way you can pay attention to any flaws that you get as you build/creat them. Cause then you won even finish one

 

that silver rx7 is a beauty. i'm liking that style of headlights more and more. how's the light output?

 

lol shut up. this was just to play around. plus only doing one. you wait around a lot as the fiberglass cures. YOU should know that. so i get jiggy with other things. you leave me alone and make me some lights=P

 

 

 

Finally got power back on monday (due to hurricane sandy)

back to workkkkk.
Sand, fill, Repeat.

 

Blah.

Thank you mother nature. Hurricane then storm back to back. you blow.



finally got around to adding a flange to the opening side. this gives it more dimension and adds rigidity. also used a round over bit to give it a nice radius. no harsh 90* angles here!

Sand, fill, repeat........ x3?


alllll most donee. hopefully this will be the last body filler layer and i can just get away with primer for the rest *fingers crossed*

hand milled a transmission spacer.. this is 3/4" thick and allows me to add more tranny fluid. approx. 0.6QT or 19oz. I'm gonna attempt to make a 1" version. Now to source some hardware!


Andddd Mocking up some flat door cards. final version will be carbon fiber

just saw ur car posted on rwd - rx7 war district's facebook page
just fyi

 

hahah Thanks, i saw it.. idk why they posted the ugliest picture possible lol


Some updates on the engine bay cover.. man this thing is a PITA

 

looks good mate, some inspiration for me to get my *** back into the garage and finnish my disaster

 

hahah thanks. get your *** back in the garage and finish!! I hope were posting from your phone while you were taking a "quick breather"!

Not much update today.. I spent most my day picking up this puppy =) a Nice old Cincinnati Vertical Mill =)




So with that taking up majority of my day, I started late and only worked an hour or so... so by the time finished the second prototype of the door panel it was too dark to take a picture...

more updates tomorrow!

well maybe.

tomorrows football =)

 

Where did u find that thing

 

craigslistttt, Been searching for one for the past 2 weeks. I really wanted one with powerfeed/DRO but i got this significantly cheaper then those go for so i said why not! plus i got impatient lol

 

Damn this is intense.

 

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee


PS I admit, at first when i saw door panels like these I was like how hard could it be, its a flat panel........... hahah I'm learning what a PITA it actually is.. so many minor tweaks to get it exactly how I want it.... but im almost there! =)

 

You're so handy. Keep up the good work! Can I have mine personally installed by you? <3
