Nice detail. It brings the eye down the center of car right to the sweet filler cap you bought. I can't wait to see the finished product. You may want to reproduce it for other people.


That metal work around the lights looks so good it looks factory lol.

Thanks a lot buddy!!!! I love to get those compliments, it just gives me so much! You are right, it brings down the eye to the filler cap, I really like that I made that detail! Yes that was actually a cool idea to reproduce it so other people could enjoy it on their own car! What is the best way to make a mould out of it, or what it's called?

Thanks for the compliments on the taillight panel, I still need some final touches to it to make them 100% identic to eachother

From what I understand from watching Mr. Ly do my moulds, it needs to be primed with a good epoxy primer ( not a spray can primer ) first and made as smooth as you can. Then he applied a build of gel coat ( I don't know what product or how much he put on) then he lay down resin and fibreglass mat and rolled it and brushed it in one layer at a time. It's really something you might need to look up on line or have someone show you. I'm ok with working with what he gave me as my final parts but I don't really know the process well enough to help.

That should be the right way to do it right.. I hope I can do it, I was thinking about that I might want to try making it in carbonfiber, that would be way to cool!

Today I began to look at the flush mounted rear window that I really want to make as a modification to the body too. I like the idea of the flush rear window so much, it gives it a totally modern and clean look! You can see in the picture how it is going to look like, that is too cool, don't you agree!? Now I just have to make a new frame around and under the window so I get that flush look that I want!

Looks good. I wanted to do the same and not put the trim around it but I haven't given much thought. Jumping around the car too much till now. It's time to pick an area and focus on getting it done. Design time needs to stop or j will never finish the car if I reinvent the wheel on every square inch of the car. I thinks it will be awesome on your car. Keep going my friend.

Some very well thought out modifications.

Very befitting of the car as a whole.

Thanks buddy! It's such a shame that we don't live closer to eachother, our passion for these cars and our ideas are likely the same! I know exactly what you are talking about, I can look at the different forums like Pro-touring.com and have twenty new ideas when I'm done! You really have to keep your head at one place at a time, but it's deffently not easy!

Thanks for your compliment!

You can bet the next time I'm in Europe I will make an effort to look you up. And I'm due. The last time I was in Europe was 20 years ago on my honeymoon. Want to take the kids and explore with them before they're too old to hang out with their parents lol.

 

[protouringstang73]

You will be more than welcome my friend! I really hope that we can meet eachother some time, that would be nice! Haha that sounds like a good idea, suddently they are grown up and become teenagers, then they will think that their parents are embarrassing and stupid

Well, I got started on the frame for the flush mounted window. Here are some pictures of the progress so far. I still need to make some support for the frame, it will be welded to the new frame I have made and then to the underside of the old frame. I still need to finish the weldings on the top and left side of the car, I am not getting the best results with the CO2 welder, but we don't have more gas for the TIG welder and I could'nt wait to get started

Next will be to make the last piece for the frame which are in the bottom of it!

I hope you can see from the pictures what I am doing, if not, then feel free to ask! Look how nice, straight and close the rear window are to the frame now, I REALLY like it so much! I am trying to have 5mm between the window and frame all around

Nice work :coolphotos:

So flush mount whats the plan for the gasket or weather strip material and I'm assuming your going to cut back the interior ledge

It wont have any weatherstrip, I will use that black ''glue'' that are made for glass when I mount it. I dont know what you call that product in English ? I dont know yet how the interior will be. I hope to make a one-piece headliner

I know that but you still need a "revel molding" like the new cars Thats what I curious about. Something like this http://www.crlaurence.com/crlapps/showline/offerpage.aspx?ProductID=12722&GroupID=21027&History=30587:19748:19783:20834:19783:21020&ModelID=21027&pom=0

Is that meant to be installed inside the car on the window frame, or what do you mean?
