ah. gotcha.. sounds good.. the holes in mine are gonna be hard to structure from the inside.. but we'll see what it does to start with.. if not, we'll weld it.. its funny i'm filling 8 holes in the hatch and popping 8 more.. I was thinking the same on the grill and making it a phantom grille.. but i'm still in the planning stages of mine..

PPR787

Actually if you buy a can of Bondo there will be something included that will help you to close it from the inside first. But if you take a walk in Home Depod or something, you might get a few ideas what to use. There is some really cool stuff that is ment to be for other things but that work great. And cheap. Just take your time for a walk around especially in the sections at the end where the wood panels and the metal is.

MrPhotographer0

yeah but the holes that they drilled are on the underside of that plastic piece.. which has a gap between the two pieces of metal.. so i cant get into it to put anything there.. uness i cut those areas out, which i dont wanna do

PPR787

Oh well I dont know about the holes in the middle. I still gonna use the middle piece of the spoiler. I just didnt liked at all the design of the side parts. Ugly..

MrPhotographer0

well i'm putting in a 3 piece spoiler.. my car had a grand prix spoiler on it..

Here an update what is happening right now.

A new pic of the color for the inside in daylight:



I started to mod the bumper and this is how i am planning to make it look like:



I decided to use the covers for the LED lights I want to build. I even want the tires and the exhaust like on the pic here. I already found the right LEDs too.

This is what I did so far:



Here in Puerto Rico there are always curious eyes watching

PPR787

I slowly get to the front of the car and on my way I stopped here too. I saw this somewhere on a website last night and jsut wanted to do this myself today and it works great. I really dont want to spend more than 1000 bucks if I can do it myself.

sid rs91

nice project you have going there....cant wait to see it finished.
the front end looks good so far.

MrPhotographer0

you do have some crazy ideas going.. i think about them, even the fender deal, but i dont have the guts to try it.. or a welder...

PPR787

haha i like it unique. until the car is not painted i can just try around but until now i dont regret anything. i dont have a welder either but i know somebody here that do bodywork so when i go there to design and weld in the cage, he will do those little things too because i dont have much experience with welding and some things you should leave for professionals. i just prepare as far as i can and the welding and final paintjob will be done by pros.

mechanic1992

Subscribed! Great looking project, can't wait to see the finished car!

PPR787

me neither. in my head i see it. that makes it easier to build

MrPhotographer0

let us kknow how that fiberglass works. i wanna fill that centerline on the back bumper to..

PPR787

well, it works how it usually works. it stinks like hell and i wasted like 3 brushes already cause i dont even try to clean them when it gets hard haha

MrPhotographer0

I'm sayin how does it work with that plastic bumper.. is it sanding smooth and how about the flex?

i have a good bit of experience with the fiberglass. we've found that its best to just hit the hardware and get the cheep like balsa wood handled brushes and just throw them away.

Is that little lizard an anole?? Thats pretty neat.

PPR787

i dont know what an anole is but yes thats a lizard. there are even 4 feet iguanas running around here in the city :-) puerto rico is pretty awesome. i got one on my terrace too, beside octopus and morays

That is an anole lizard....My house is practically infested with albino ones. It seems like I'm always finding those both inside and outside here....

PPR787

oh ok. did knew the name. they are very useful against mosquitoes. i dont know why u see it as a problem. you are an animal hater? guess what was there before your house was build? right. so you are the guest not nature.

Stephen

iTrader: (12)

I have nothing against a FEW wild animals. But when you see them DAILY, if not hourly, and inside your house.....That gets a little annoying.

The population is reducing, even though I'm not doing anything to cause it.

Like the tarantulas....For awhile, I'd look up from the house, to see one casually strolling across my living room floor! It is worse during the warmer weather of course.....

Awesome-X

Yeah thats what I thought it was. The only reason I suppose I find it neat is because there aren't really any wild lizards around here and anole's are $10 a piece in pet stores Stephen you should mail me a couple albino ones lol

MrPhotographer0

Well i think ima get a new decklid and forget the filling deal.

Stephen

iTrader: (12)

Ever separated a decklid from the glass? Have fun! Might just wanna fill all the holes & drill new ones.

PPR787

whats a decklid?

MrPhotographer0

is it really that hard?

Stephen

iTrader: (12)

The flat area that the wing attaches to & is bolted & bonded to the glass

Stephen

iTrader: (12)

Swapping the decklid piece?

You hafta unbolt the whole hatch (hinges at the glass).
Flip it over on a table.
Take the 4 nuts loose.
Gently pry/separate the decklid from the glass, without breaking the glass.
Then put the new one on (that you had to take off another car).
It has to be sealed good too, to keep water out.

Personally? I think it is easier just to fill old holes & drill new ones. If you change spoiler designs, you'll need to fill & drill new holes anyways so.........

MrPhotographer0

I was thinking of going and getting the decklid that i got the spoiler off of.

[quote=PPR787;4336117]not sure. thats not so important for me. but the only rear bumper i could find that i kinda like better than the original one is this one:

nice project and some good work, lets see some updates

PPR787

soon. right now i am looking for some parts like the ground effect from a camaro rs and some other parts. i will bring the car to one of my surf friends dad, because he is a body work pro and he will help me to weld the custom designed roll cage in, weld the rest on the body like the new openings at the fenders and hood, prepare for paint job and paint it.

i will get some drag tires for it instead of 20" rims. i made my decicion here too finally.

sorry no updates right now.
