Ares,

I am interested in item 1,4,5, and 6.
Regarding item#4, I really liked the work of Clearcorners on Joe's(Sanderman) car:

Sanderman's headlamp

Ares, will your headlamp design be similar to Clearcorners?

Looking forward to the launch of your products.

Rgd,
Mickey

 

#1,2,4,5 sounds great for #1, 2nd set reserved make it quick ares! I'm watching you
And #4, for headlight, clearing the side strips sounds awesome..I really wanted to get rid of them but was afraid to screw everything... Sanderman's headlight was awesome except black housing and LED signal was not my taste...

 

sidemarkers are moving ahead. at close to the same time will be the emblems, and a good chance of some center caps for stock 17" and 18" rims either blank or with a Z rather than nissan. not sure.

 

 

I have not edited a single thing in this thread. and have definitly not deleted any of your posts. I do not mix my moderator status with my work. ever.

I dont know who is deleting your threads, but it is certainly not me.

 

so I guess they called that "hijacking", SORRY.....now I know!

 

It was me, hijacking someone elses thread is strictly prohibited and very rude.

I'm interested in any thing custom. If those tail light come out looking good then I'm in. Keep us posted.

 

damn, this guy ares has very good "motivation" as we say in the marines. very good ideas......i think clear corners had the same idea with clear to amber reflectors/leds; but if you can do it cheaper, im down. i like the idea of the glowing Z emblem. that would be the sh*t. keep up the good work bro, and keep us posted.

 

update?

 

working on it as we speak actually. Im new to much of these processes, so as would be expected hitting some hurdles. Im at the last problem once its solved, stuff will start rolling out.

few things done thus far, but not to the perfection I want. soon as I solve the last hitch, Ill post it up.

 

polyurethane kit looking like the jgtc car minus the widebody would be cool. widebody would be cool nonetheless.

Still anxiously waiting for the sidemarkers...
When you are done, post'em up!!

 

workin on em, first Im doing the side emblems, basicly on a cost basis, and ease, start with the small easy stuff then move onto the larger harder things. sidemarkers are next on the list after the emblems, and once I master the emblems doing the sidemarkers should be no problem.

of course now that I said that.... haha.

Im anxious too, problem is most of the stuff Im working with has 16 hour cure times, so it takes a day to do everything, if it doesnt work, another day... but its coming...

 

Great. I'm not trying to haste you up, since quality products doesn't come out in a day, more time means more perfection.
Also, put me in a list for Emblems too.
Gee, ares, you are making money while you are doing something you like, and you are good at. It might not be that much as I think, but still it's such a cool thing.
I wish I was that motivated and talented

 

I have the resources I need to make it work.

for one Im in college, which means I have access to a chem supply, I can get flasks and cylinders as I need. also the chem major that Im following doesnt hurt.

only problem is it limits the freetime I have to work on it. the 16hour cure times only add to that problem.

good news is its labor day this coming weekend, that means 3 uninterrupted days of work. tho Ive expected to have a finished product last weekend, and the one before, I really think there will be pictures this coming monday. the schedule is set, all kinks are actually worked out, and all the supplies are here.

*fingers crossed*

 

sweet bro... very nice job. can't wait to see.

 

Just out of curiosity, I like your idea with the LED Z side emblem, but is EL hard to work with? I know it's not as bright, but I've always liked that "glow in the dark" look. EL front/rear emblems would be killer too. I think the Bugatti EB110 had an EL logo?

 

#2, #5, and #6!

 

Im not using EL, Im honestly not sure how to use that stuff(YET heh), I plan to use 8 LEDs on each side. Im a fan of overkill on light output if you cant tell. Im really just making sure that the peice is lit well and clearly visible.

Less LEDs would be cheaper and much much easier, it is no cake walk to solder 8 leds in the proper pattern so their leads fall in the right spot. but its what must be done.
