His car ***** on my car for sure. There's really nothing to put up atm. Getting tires, a turbo manifold, 60mm v band gate, oil filter sandwich plate, some premix and buying a buddies baller hks catch can for $10 next week, hopefully a battery too! Test drive!
Glazing compound definately air hardens. **** gets hot as **** too. I just hate how fast it gets chunky...like instantly. When i was doing parts of the body itself i just went ahead and applied it directly from the tube to the panel vs using an application/mix board.. You really have to press it HARD into whatever you're putting it on. One swipe and leave it. I'll try mixing it though. i'll just be a little jewish on the hardener.
I was hoping others would post their **** up in here and just make this the official thread. It just seems like it's the three of us....

This **** is red dude. Same color as the hardener that comes with the bondo so this is gonna be a bit tricky... Lol.
What kind of ratio do you reccomend? Bondo to glaze specifically?
ANNNND, the humidity wasn't bad when i started doing body work but now..... It's terrible. Like, i dont even want to go outside to smoke a cigarette because i instantly start pouring sweat and feel in need of a shower. I'm not a fat dude either!

Cool beans. I'll go to advanced auto some time today and do work. Although i'd much rather put my brakes on, get the battery charged, put a couple gallons of gas in the thing and have some fun! I'm itching bad to ******* go terrorize some ****. 3rd gear dirt drops in the neighboors yard with "permission"....... Meaning, they dont call the cops when i do it.

For pinholes and small stuff I usually do about a quarter hardener to glaze, for larger stuff (like skim coats) I use somewhere around 1/16 hardener to glaze, and bondo usually about an 1/8
Its a bitch, learning sucks until you get it right, but once you have it, just take into consideration temps and you will have it

Yea I don't really like all metal, the only thing a use it for it when I do resto's, and I sweat the lead out of the body seams then after I weld them up to seal them up I jus cap them off with that
I don't use or recommend it for anything else but that

His car is doesn't have a cage, right? If that's the case, yeah. My chassis flexes like a ************ just putting a jack under it. Doors dont want to close without a hard slam.
Anyway:
More can be seen in the "post pix of your drift car" thread. I wanted to drive her today so bad but a few more things need to be done. Got primmer and bondo though. For flexing the rear bumper in so the bell bottom's tuck closer to the body would flexing, drilling and zip tying it in place and THEN applying heat be ok? It wants to move in a little bit but it puts up a fight. wider wheels/spacers are not an option any time soon. I want to drive!
See what i mean? I hate that ****.

nopistons: what did you use to attach and mold the sideskirts on? I did put some screws through mine but, I still need to secure the part that goes in front of the doors and thn mold it to give it a cleaner look.

Correct.
Molding stuff in might "look clean" but if you ask me it's stupid unless you have a show car that gets trailered to and from events.
Three zip ties are the ONLY thing holding either skirt on right now.
1 in the rear wheel arch, 2 in each door jam area with holes drilled through the skirt and fender.

My cars have two up front, two out back and three self tapping screws in the door jam.
Sure, if you have zipties the kit CAN break them and fly away from the car instead of shattering the skirts, however they can also get shot under the car and blow up even harder.
The reason I threw the screws in the door jam is because they hold the skirt on the car while the zipties can still break away and let the skirt flop around without going under the car or someone else running it over

I think i just leave it and run the damn things over.

Alright guys. So i'm getting back to work on my skirts and **** before i start driving around in public next month.
My brother sat shotgun for alot of our "closed course" testing and suggested i stop before i run my **** over. I couldn't initiate without losing my skirts and it wasn't from body roll. I mean just slightly uneven pavement was chewing my **** up.
I raised the car up to get the skirts off the ground in the rear so i could have some play time and make sure my **** wasn't running fucked up and was going to do exactly what i wanted it to. Had a blast, found out nankangs chunk like a bitch, my temp gauge doesn't work and somehow i fucked up my speedo cable somewhere....hopefully on the tranny side.
As you can imagine it looked like a bag of dicks and i backed it into my driveway so every time i go out for a smoke i have to look at ******* 2" of wheel gap....then look at what cj's car looked like on 17's and hate my life.
Obvious problem is obvious.
So....what i did was went to the store.....about two hours ago (yeah, 2am run to walmart) and got some REAL fiberglass resin, some solo cups, some more primer and chopped mat. Gonna do some work.
So take a look at my car with the wheels tucked and the skirt on the ground. Ignore the wavy pull and slightly sunk wheel. I'll fix that **** later. One thing at a time here.
Tire tucked? Why yes it is. I love that ****. It looks boss. Sideskirt dragging on ground? That's a no go ******* reverse raked skirts are for baller staggered ****, not 17's..... I pulled a collar up front hoping that would bring the rear off the ground some but that didn't work.
So heres what i'm thinking. I make two marks in the back of the skirt. The distance between em depends on how high the FRONT of the skirt is off the ground because that's how much i want to pull the rear up. Now, i place a dot somewhere on the front part of the skirt and am making a triangle.....a really really thin and tapered one. I cut out all the material within said triangle and glass the skirts back up. Solid plan?
Lmk. I'm not buying new skirts any time soon and i damn sure cant see me buying a pair of 19s either. I would much rather spend that money on seat time and having fun with my "legal" car i can drive on the street. Thanks. I'd rather ask than just go at this **** on my own and **** it up. Nothing hot about a bag of dicks.

205 40 fronts (they look like 30's compared to the rears) and 205 45 rears.
17x9.5 all the way around. I ran the 40/45 **** to try to fix the rake i KNEW i'd have. CJ DID run weapons in the rear for a bit..... I'm not going to a 50 series.
So what do you think about cutting a slivered triangle out of both skirts? I'm bored and am at a standstill til i handle my tags and ****. Trust me, i'm fighting the urge to get a pair of eurolines or overs/spacers so hard i have blue *****. **** has to wait though.
I hate my car....somehow i keep posting ******* pictures of it.
What happens with 17's.....with higher rear sidewalls than fronts, dumped duper low.
Foot fetish aside for TWO SECONDS. Look at the rim distance from the ground up front and in the rear.
what happens with baller different diameter deep dish equips sexy hot soft tight box ******* black snake moan girl can't afford this **** broke status n/a drifter all homo like. I'm jealous that his aero curves in at the front of the skirt and rear bumper. **** looks boss. But his skirts are LEVEL with the ground. My car will never be that awesome but LOOK at what i'm working with. Not this guys swagger. Changing up tires isn't going to make dick bit of difference except for add sidewall which i really dont want to do. Not simply for looks but because of how awesome this thing drives set up the way it is.
I wanna cut a tiny triangle in my skirts the entire length of and glass them back up to fix this issue. Widebody isn't an option, wheel gap isn't an option, buying new wheels isn't an option. I really dont even know why i care since this kit probably wont last a year anyway but I do care and i'm trying to make this **** happen and keep busy.

This car looks like ****. You's trollin. You didn't actually TRY eating frozen beer to see if i was full of ****, did you? Haha. Maybe you thought that sexy brown shinny thing in my post was my car. Yeah right. I wish. Thanks though.
I hear that. Cloth would make the job a hell of alot faster and easier. Best of all, i can soak all my old *** t-shirts i dont wear anymore in resin and have my way with em.
If i use this as a plug, i could used chopped mat to make a bolt on piece, could i not?
