Put some model into the polyester piece. Needs to be some more refining for the finishing off…

Cause I’m convinced that everything fits 100%, I discovered something.

If you look at this picture, it seems something is not 100% right somewhere.

You see that the inner muffles are a bit higher then the outer ones. I already noticed this on several other cars too.

This is one of my favourites, and I immediately noticed that the exhausts weren’t on 1 line.

I never saw the car IRL, but I’m 200% sure that these are correctly placed too.

It just gives you a distorted image cause of the rounding of the bumper.

I for one, will think 2 times before I say that mufflers are placed awry.

I also tried to make some pictures, exactly in the middle of the rear, but that’s not so easy.

To make the polyester piece the same LEFT as RIGHT, I made a mold.

If your car were a woman, I would make sweet endless love to her all night and buy the engagement ring in the morning.

Couldnt of said it any better myself. I have seen this build on 2 other forums, and it still amazes me. Everyone I have shown this build to, thinks it is hands down the most amazing piece of art on 4 wheels. Your attention to detail is so precise that it boggles my mind and leaves me speechless. The work you have put into this one car, has made you famous in the fabrication and audio world. And respectively shown, you will go down in history as being a master in the world of automotive customization. I think I speak for everyone here, keep the pictures coming and we all look forward to your next piece of art!

This piece will connect nicely onto the exhausts. First, I taped the bumper.

Put on 4 layers of fiberglass cloth.

This will be the foundation for the piece.

I glued some MDF against this, and put some model into it.

Then I mounted it on the car, and you can see I'm working with great accuracy.

The space between the tubes and the piece is not more then 2 or 3 mm.

I want as little space as possible between there, but this is a bit TOO small. A child knows this will rattle after 5 kilometers.

So I took a little slath of 6 mm, and drew it out nicely onto the piece.

Then I defined the length of the tubes.

You can see the line, that they'll come out about 10mm. The outer mufflers will come out a bit more.

I determined this by the rounding of the bumper, when you look from above.

Then I looked with a sway-hook to get them diagonal aligned.

Here you can see how many space I have now. I sprayed the piece black to have a better view on it.

Now I'm about to saw the tubes on the good lenght, and spot-weld them on 4 places, then again, making sure they are still on the same line.

I made a mold of the black piece you see here. For the moment it is drying.

Once this piece is ready, I'm putting it back in the mold.
