98 Honda Civic Gets A Refresh - Update page 20 - LED's, Glowing XS Logo,2 SMD VM-1's - 4/11/13


Recommended Posts


So now that it's glassed, i always put some short strand "kitty hair" over the top and let it set up. This way, when i pop the mold off, it holds its shape better. I ran out of my favorite body filler "Rage Extreme" so i had to stop for the weekend, as no store that carries it is open past 12pm on Saturday. Here is the progress pics so far though. I am starting to really like it myself. I have to resist the urge to pull the plastic off the plexi glass (the blue plastic you see in the middle is clear plexi if you didn't know)

the black marks are where i am going to trim the edges off with a sander. This way it fits perfectly behind the rubber boot.

Thats awesome man!

I have so many ideas! One of them include the VM-1.

So, is what your telling me (with out saying of course) is I should get some of this super resin and finally stop being a lil bitch and try and fiberglass something?

i will send you some glass, a brush, a cup and some gloves so you can experiment. Once you make something you will be hooked. It's paper Mache' for adults. :D

New build coming........

Steve what are you going to do about the trunk lid staying up on is own,or are you going to keep using a stick lol

probably gonna have to get a NICER rod of some sort....i pulled the tensioner springs out years ago and aint no room for an actuator. It's really no big deal as long as it looks really good when i am done, and i think it will.

just get a short strut. plenty of cars in the junkyard you can attempt to fit different sizes off.

more info on the sunflash resin would be nice. will make those first layers of resin to build forms and molds before build up layers/stages really nice!
