does anyone else think so

One of the sickest builds i've ever seen, lovin the fiber glass

[spadeskis]

hey man since you got so much experience with aluminum do you think it would be possible to put a 90 degree bend in 1/4" rod?

The things I ordered to finish off the amp-box, are currently hanging somewhere over the ocean.

I'd better ordered them a size bigger, cause it's about 30 degrees(Celcius) difference from there to here, and those things could shrimp from the cold.

But still, it's positive news they're on the way.

Dropped of the aluminium pedals too, and will get them back in two weeks normally. On the carbon lay-ins of the pedals I did some layers epoxy already, and there will be a lot of rabrading to get this tight, but we can do it.

I also kept myself warm by milling some things for around the carbon BMW emblems.

I first thought of making these completely out of carbon fibre, but that looked like sh* ...

So I started by making 2 aluminium rings who will come around the emblems.

First I made 2 MDF blocks's, and glued a piece of 4mm aluminium against it.

Then held it to the copy-mill, with this as result.

Then I put in another mill, and made a nice rounding on the upper side.

Then it was time for the professional work, and went about 4mm deeper with the right mill.

The grey disc with all the holes, I bought when I was in L.A.

Here your mill onto, and knock on the attached pin, in the center of your piece. So you can chose with diamter you delete. It's something really really simlple, but just so practical, and I wasn't able to find it here in Belgium.

Here you see the little ring I need on the left side.

You can say....it looks much better then without the ring.

I did the same for the logo on the backside, just that's a bit smaller.

Here they are, Dumb & Dumber

On the backside, I milled it all a bit diagonal, cause I'm going to glue the carbon into the aluminum with 2 components glue

The carbon lay-ins are ready to get some layers of varnish. To become this result, I’ve been abrading for several hours, and I’m really pleased that’s behind me now.

However, it’s nog finished yet. I’m going to do somethings special with 1 plate, but I’m not 100% sure what it’s going to be

Once the varnish is on here, only then the carbon fibre will appear.

About the emblems, I’m working on my own logo to add to that.

The work you do is truly inspiring. Amazing creativity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Absolutely amazing.

Update!!!!!!!!!!!!! Feed the addiction!!!!!

As you can see, the pedals are ready to get mounted in the car.

I was pretty scared about the anodization, since that’s something I didn’t do myself. But they have done it just the way I wanted.

The silver colour is the same as the other interiorpieces of the car.

Here the foot-support.

The little sticker-letters that I let someone make for me.

These are silver, and are underneath the varnish, so nothing can harm them there

The brake.

As you look closely on the bottomside of the carbon fibre, you’ll see there’s a lot of varnisch on there.

This varnisch is scratch-free, and is as solid as a rock. Time will tell…

The gas pedal.

And finally, the complete set.

These set of pedals, I think, will need a yearly maintenance…

I mean that in time, I’ll have to take em off, screw the carbon plates loose, abrade them again, add another layer of varnish, and put it all together.

No pain no gain, they say;;;

now, when it’s finished, I realize I again finished something small that took a lot of work

My carbon fibre stock is empty for the moment, but next week 10m² will be delivered… so up to the next!
