You are turning the Z into a whole new car and I like it!!

 

updates brosef??

 

I was hoping to post up pics yesterday of it, but it rained all day sunday so my progress was slow. still raining too.....

just have a couple lil pits to fill and gotta figure out how im wanna mount this thing. prolly gunna have to drill holes

not sure how i want it covered yet either. sure wish i had someone local that could cover in real cf.

promise this baby installed by friday (goal cuz local car meet) pics to follow

 

just dinoc wrap it for now w no primer and then send it to tony (tonester) after the show.

cheap quick fix.

 

well, I'm in Omaha, but I've only done a couple CF dashes recently.

 

this was kinda my plan, really want this thing in real cf, but spend like $120 on dinoc, just to take it back off in couple weeks when it comes time to try and mold it? Seems wasteful but I've got to come up with something for zdayz.

i also fear it wont hold up in some spots without primer, even if just for a couple weeks, (opinions please)

you saying this cause its really hard to remove with primer, or it will leave me with a mess of glue to have to take back off?

 

yeah dinoc should cost you THAT much but yeah once its strretched, its not very sticky.. odd for a vinyl.. its its own animal..

you could use primer, but it holds VERY well, and youd have to sand past it again to remove.. OR... i sweart man.. plastidip it black, use 4 to 5 coats and its SUPER high hiding, ie covers scratches.. and peels off later on.. yet is 100% durable.. its freaky stuff.. i used to read the noob threads and just facepalm.. then i dug in and read about the stuff.. its suuuuper legit and solves a TON of automotive problems.. its even usefull for a removeable primer over chrome on wheels so they become paintable.. crazy eh?

they actuall have a camo kit on another topic.. and dipyourcar.com sells the individual colors.. flat army green deep lip wheels w black hardware in my future? yes please.

Check it out man, its really handy stuff AND its avail at home depot for 6 bucks a can..

 

still not finished, but hella close. see last pic for details.

ditched driver side piece, due to it bugging me while shifting, guess i was wrong about that one....

well here's how it sits now.....

 

Nice job.. how r u going to repro that to sell us tho? Haha.

 

^ that is still the goal, my best friends the one thats gunna help with that step.

we've practiced making a couple molds so far, but I can tell you now that top piece is gunna be a trick to reproduce.

 

I prefer it without the drivers side piece but maybe a taller shift **** might help resolve the awkward feel when shifting.

looks great so far.

 

im all over this, theres le stain on my pants

 

thanks, i too prefer it without. I like the asymmetrical look

 

if you could make the top part (gauge visor?) alone and without the side, I'd totally buy

 

Great to see you're still at it. I remember that you were gutting the back of your car for the back seat idea at the same time that I was gutting my roadster for a custom speaker setup. I may follow your lead again once I'm ready for the cage to go back in this one. I love your work, man. Please, please, please find me at ZDayz. I'd love to swap ideas and talk shop about the interior with you.

 

That's some sick work. I tried making a front lip last summer and never got around to finishing it. It's fun working with formular form, just impossible to find here in Cali.

 

can we find a way to incorporate this please. lol

Awesome ideas! I cannot see the iphone case pic that everyone is liking

 

SparkleCityHop..... Absolutely, we gotta meet up. just got me a banner made so im sure u will be able to find me at some point.

ya it was definitely interesting, can't say I really loved it, but cool in the fact that you really can create anything. Oh and next time I will be ordering the proper foam from the interwebz. i even have the blue foam which is slightly better but still not ideal.

cmcurran5.... if someone else wants to figure out the electronics behind all that, visually I can fabricate it all. Always open to collaboration ideas... if they are plausible and make sense.


dvsone.... just see link in my signature or original post

 

i see myself jacking a dbs in the near future and stripping the center console.
gonna be a poor bastard rolling around in a dbs with no dash.
