robola 46 Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 This is the polyester piece that came out of the mold. You can see I painted it black...and you know what happens next... I can tighten this piece with screws on the backside. IF the epoxy or the varnish would fall in after a while, maybe from the heat, I can reel it off, and varnish it again. The tips are customized, and I point-welded them on. On this picture you can see I sawed them af slantlng. I did this because it looks a bit more refined that way, but that's each for his own. You can also see that I only let them come out about 10mm During a test-drive I noticed that the mufflers came against the sides a few times. I fixed this by adding a bit more space in between, it's now 8mm This is a picture that makes you say: "it's ok, or no, put it in the bin" You be the judge, but I like it. Once I had all of this, I dismantled it all, and welded the tips completely. Afterwards, I mounted it all again, said some prayers that it didn't become awry from the welding. For the moment it's all at the painters shop. Because I don't have a line in the front bumper, I'm going to delete this with the rear bumper as well. I also bought some M-Tech II sideskirts, so they are getting painted as well. The end is coming near...and that's a good thing. I'm getting a bit sick working on that rear bumper, but already looking forward of messing with the ICE again.

robola 46 Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 This is the polyester piece I covered in carbon fibre. This was a f*king nasty piece to cover, but it worked out pretty well. Here you see the front is abraded pretty smoothly. On the bottom I still need to begin the rubbing-process, and you can see how many epoxy is on there. I timed how long I did for making this nice and tight, and before I knew it, it was 2.5 hours later. Now it can be covered with varnish. I'll get the bumper and the rest back tomorrow. This will rest for a couple of days, till I have the time to mount it calmly. The exhausts I provided with a heat wrap, but I didn't get all the way with the 10m I had. I ordered another 10m in England, and this will arrive tuesday or wednesday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robola 46 Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 the backside of the polyester piece, I provided with a heat refractored material. The carbon frame above the mufflers, I tuned some more. Here and there a little paint runner that needed to be fixed/ Started with a 1200, then 2000 and stop with a 3000. started with the polyshing...first with a hard pad. here the result. after this we used the fine pad, to get back the shine. end-result The I screwed the carbon piece tight onto the polyester piece. Most people would have glued this on, but I don't like that sort of work. So I think my way is a big asset to this. If I needs to come of for some reason, I can just screw this loose. Here is the front, like it'll come on to the car. Everything is for <img src='http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/NEW/mega_shok.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='80' />% finished, and is installed on the car. The design department did a fine job to draw out something to come in between the mufflers. Then there was some guy of the team here who started talkin' crap to make something that emerged electricly. I sacked his ass right away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4killer_ Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 seriously, reading this is surreal. There are really no words to describe this. Im sure this will be all over magazines and such when its done. You should just nickname the car "The Legend" idk how anything could ever top this. I just feel like its an April fools joke or something. Like if the 6 18" SMD is the Mightiest build, this is definately the Heavenliest <- sp? Just... idk im speechless Good job.
