looks awsome. wrap it in real carbon fiber!

 

Thanks, real carbon fiber i was told is a ***** to work with and really expensive for 100% real carbon fiber.. I woudl definally like to work with carbon fiber one day but i would have to wait till the price drops for it.

THANKS

 

Yes raw CF is a *****. If you want to learn to work with it make sure you start one flat surfaces. I would be more helpful if possible, but i am really hung over and don't remember last night....more to come.

 

Awesome!

 

UPDATED!!!

well i added the body filler.. the first time i just use the filler and hardner, the second time i added resign to the mixure and it made it sooo MUCH easier to apply and sand!! i still have more sanding to do to make it completely smooth.





i added more to fill in the low spots and i'm just waiting for it to dry. i will post more pictures later!!

THANKS

 

can't wait for that to finish.... How much did it cost you for everything??? and how long did it took you????

 

UPDATE

today i will be spraying the primer on the driver side. Tommorrow i'm going to officialy start fiberglassing the passenger side (I would today but its my friend's birthday). I will take more pictures and post tommorrow.

So far i been working on it for almost 3 weeks. But i only spend an hour or two a day when i have spare time working on it. As far as the cost i couldnt really tell you, i got everything from my friend for cheap since he does it for a living, so i cant give u how much it would run a normal perosn not getting a super great friend discount.

THANKS

 

Approximately how much does each box weigh?

 

i will weigh the box tonight when i get home and let u know. but they are not that heavy at all, weight much less then an mdf box!!!

THANKS

 

UPDATE:



after adding the primer i see a few spots that showed up in the paint. im going to add a bit more filler in the spots. I might acutally paint the enclsoure this weekend instead of waiting until i'm completely finished. I prep the passenger side tonight also to start glasing tommorrow!!

THANKS

 

wow ok im impressed

 

build me one.

 

UPDATE:



Once the primered dried i had to see it in the trunk lol. I still need to wet sand and fill in the low spots that i can now see. Tommorrow i'm going to see if the auto paint store has any of the silver paint in stock cause i wanna paint it this weekend lol..

Also has anyone tried the HOUSE of KOLORS paint that walmart is now selling? Its about 10 dollars for a small can, but they sell it in stages, base, color, and clear... My walmart has pearl and standard colors...

THANKS

 

HOUSE of KOLORS rocks the best paint out there IMO. My friend had his 73 El camino in House of Kolors paint came out way better then we thought it was going to be.

 

UPDATE:

i wet sanded the enclsoure tonight and it felt sooo smooth lol. But also i weighed the enclsoure and it was only 14.8 lbs. I also ordered oem paint to match the color of the car and will be painting the driver side next weekend. I will post pictures of the passenger side this weekend!!

THANKS
