I recently started to sand down my Z because, well the factory paint flake look isnt cutting it. Anyway, I found a crack in the roof and though it needed some SFC to stiffen up the body. I did the usaul research on the subject and realized since I'm a fabricator, why not build them? Long story short, If I could see some pics installed, I would be able to whip them out at lunch. I'm more concerned where they need to be attached, and where to weld. I'm calling on those wise men before me, to show me. Thanks

 

the roof crack is normal jsut about every thirdgen will get that from normal driving. SFCs are a good idea anyway, i wish i could make some.

 

Do a search, there are quite a few posts with pics.

"SFCs Installed", or something.

I did do a search, but the one's I found were very scary to lool at. The few I saw looked like someone squeezed chicken poop all over them. That is why I asked for an expert to post some pics. Thank you.

 

go to steve sphon's website... look up the 3rdgen SFC and look for the "install link" there are several detailed pictures of one being installed on a car...

 

I posted some too, search under my username.

Thanks for the input guys, but I think I figured it out. I finally got off my *** and jacked up the car and looked at the situation. I have a plan of attack, that I think will work out just fine. And will only cost about 15 bucks.

 

so do us a favor and post your own pics so we can see how someone made their own SFC's. that would be helpful.

I'll post, but I wont do it till next spring probaly. The car is down for repairs and dont plan on installing them till then.

 

These are the Kenny Browns installed on my Formula.

 

MyBluz:- I know you are pretty much sorted, but here's a few threads that someone in a similar situation may benefit from reading. Hope the project goes well!
