Updates?

 

here are 3 more from a few weeks ago. this weekend i will add a page on my cardomain that will have many more pictures. since i can't add much here it's easier. continue to check my page every week to see more updates.

 

are the rear fender lips flared out more?

 

no, they have been reshapped. enough so that everything works. when it's all together it will never be noticeable.

 

shh its a secret

i still am and will always be amazed by the amount of work in that car...

 

Im pretty sure you said before that you work at a shop...maybe not, but are you doing alot of the work yourself, or just overseeing it all?


good to see alot of custom thought going into it

 

i'm doing as much as i can on it. i use to work at a shop, i no longer do that as the days are too long. I put in roughly 30 hours a week with the car so i get in what i can, not enough time in the day though to make it the way i want. i should have somewhere around 500 hours into it just myself when it's ready.

 

Looking good can't wait for the next update.......

 

Bringing it back, I wanna see this damn car....... And whats going on w/ the new project?

 

soon, very soon.

 

if you decide to start a new thread with it, add the link in this one too.

 

Nice to see some updates on your car Kandied, I'm sure like it's previous look, it will be very sick.

I have to ask, are you sticking with those 19"s?

 

doing anything for SEMA?

 

the 92 is being built for SEMA. the 91 might go if i can find a company that will use it.

 

Anything on the release date of the inverted cowl or something close to it? Looking to get a new hood and have been waiting to see what they are going to do w/ that style.

 

has a thirdgen ever been featured in SEMA?...Im guessing no, since your 92 is boasting quite the list of sponsors


.....this means pics are due up here pretty quick riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight? ...assuming you are talking about the spring show and not the one in Oct.

 

no i'm talking about the only show... vegas.

 

Any update on the hood Jeff?

 

late oct. right?

 

some reason the quick reply isn't working.

yes oct31 is the date.

as far as a new hood, things are in the works. i will remain to keep quiet about it until i have something to show but i have no idea how long it will take for the molds to be mass produced after i'm done and i don't foresee finishing til may.

 

Sounds like gonna have to spend vacation at sema. This year it would seem right being a sweet third gen in the mix too.

Just a thought off the top of my head an though you might have an idea with your resources. Can a mini tub like DSE makes for the '69s be used in a third gen app. It would be cool to stuff 335's, and not look like a roller skate.

 

plenty of options for thirdgens. why would you need that anyhow unless your talking about going tall with the tire. my 295's fit like a loose glove with the right offset. yes there are options..

 

did someone say my name

yes i did repaint my car for no reason. everyone called me crazy,but as soon as they saw the end result they loved it. so theres nothing wrong with alittle change

 

my paint was 8 years old... that's reason enough.

 

mine's 95% 15 yrs old...

i'll be doin' the whole repaint dealio in June

 

Awesome. You are the reason I WILL be making the drive out to SEMA come fall!

 

I like your car but why is it such a secret when everyone post pics of there cars daily?

 

So...

 

yes?

 

Because some of us want to post the finished product in all it's glory, and not give any hints along the way.

 

i wanna see a sneek peek

 

No joke. I won't tell anyone.

 

there is so much body work going on that day to day updates would be boring to most... soon enough. i hope to be in paint soon.

 

here is an older picture from a little while back just before i took it to get media blasted.

 

Hey Jeff!

Dang I haven't seen you in years on here. We were going to meet at Detoit for the Autorama. I somehow missed you. I was there all weekend with George Barris and Butch Patrick by the Batmobile, Munsters Coach, and we unvailed the Shark Attack car.

Wow, had no idea you were doing all that. Will you be at the Camaro Superfest this year. Is it worth going? Hit me up online sometime Shawn18jgr.
I will be at SEMA in October.

TTL Shawn

 

I really like the rear fenders jeff.....they're going to look nice with a good set of wheels under them

...are your door locks shaved off as well?

 

Sorry nothing to post excpet an unbelievable car before, which means an outstanding car after. Wanted to get on the list.....

So uh...whats new?

 

the car has been bead blasted. i'm currently redoing the entire interior in carbon fiber so that's on the main list right now. hope to go to paint here in a few weeks.

 

boy i'd like to know where you got carbon fiber. I can't find any anywhere that isn't a hybrid, or that cost's an arm and a leg. I've already made a couple molds of parts I want to make but alas no carbon fiber.

 

For our cars, molding you own carbon pieces is the only way.

 

yep but all i can find is carbon/kevlar hybrid. and i've never used the stuff before and it's expensive i don't want to buy it and not be able to use it. i used to get my stuff through uscomposites but they're sold out of like everything.

 

I know what you mean. When you get into the expensive stuff, you will also need to bake it; and of course you know you can't use the food oven in the house. The other problem would be finding an oven large enough, something like the powdercoating places use.

 

Yeah, if anyone has a source for carbon firber, I would love to know. Even carbon/kevlar hybrids are getting pretty hard to find/expensive. Really, you best bet right now, is some of the aerospace fiberglass (S2) or kevlar. The carbon fiber shortage really sucks.

 

i have to go over seas and at this time it's running $3500 a roll. roughly $4-500 a pannel it's costing me. my interior has 18 pannel sections so it's taking some time.

 

so its like 8000 just for the carbon fiber interior? what do you do for a liviing

 

If you make carbon fiber doors that retain the crash beam and can still use windows I'll buy 4 of em. No joke.

 

I would argue that it's not so much what you do for a living, but it's how you live and manage you money. Granted, a good job helps, but it's not the only factor.

Still trying to build that carbon fiber 4-door Camaro drift wagon, huh?

 

If you make smoked clear grid tail lights i will buy them. No Joke

 

my custom fiberglass interior for my last stereo was more then that... it's worth it for carbon fiber.
