**** i think that was my fault!

back to hoods and flairs!

 

Rharris did you get the flares? I put them on the work bench.

 

Let the count down begin!

 

This is gonna be sick!

 

I have them. Thanks for dropping them off while I was gone and sorry about the messy garage to put them in.

 

Snap a few non-proprietary pics through the process...I'd be real interested to see how its done...I'm one of those "How its made", "How do they do it?", "Ultimate Factories" guys, lol!

 

Can we get the flares in urethane or something a little more plyable than fiberglass?

 

Sorry all I can do right now is fiberglass.

 

You gotta buy the real ones for that , lol!

I'm sure Robert's fiberglass ones will be top notch though...

 

I think it will be great for the community.Can you do Kevlar or carbon?,only for the weight.

It might be something to look into though. Cost and time required for each piece may be less.

 

hardly seems worth it for a cosmetic part.

all three materials can be made thin enough that weight difference is negligible. not to mention there's no stiffness issues because the part is dome-shaped and inherently resists bending and flex.

 

Did it again......Iment to say the Hoods.flares are to make it pretty the hood I nee to be Lighter,Maybe just make mine a three layer skin.

In order for me to get any benefit out of the carbon, i would have to get a whole system that I can't justify getting right now. That and the only place I have found that sells carbon, sells it for damn near $45 a yard and I would need a couple yards to make the layers.

 

i wonder if i still have that roll of kevlar in my basement...

 

Why the hell do you have a roll of kevlar?

 

I Kinda agreewith that,I just am looking to be really light.I cut out the whole trunk floor and replaced it in 7075 Aluminum.I"m cutting out all the fat,More lightness!What about S-2 glass?Stronger,stiffer,need less materials.

FYI they are very light in the stock material

 

because it was free duh.

oh and because of this:

 

What are?I am looking for a seamless hood w/ heat extraction and no headlights,LIghter if I can.I hit a flying ladder on the highway and I need to get this looking right.Putting together some sort mutt look aint going to cut it.
