shaved first side

finally finished what do u guys think

did you ever finish the slk tails?

no didnt start the back i still have to shave the other side, I striped the paint on the other side this weekend so i cant let it rust up the back is after that

Looks flawless.

nice job, what kind of welder did you use to do that?.....did you use fiberglass or bondo, or both?....also do you work at a bodyshop or are you like me and have an interest in auto body and like to do it yourself kinda guy>?:smoker2:

hey that looks good man, ill have to cruise the strip again and see it in person.

you use a 120v welder on low power, you use Fiberglass first 1 or 2 layers to hold every think together well then you use bondo to flush it out then sand it out then prime it epoxy putty it then sand it out then primer it again, you wet sand alot. oh yeah for the door handles you uses 7-12 layers of fiberglass, You weld a piece of sheet metal to replace the door handle before fiber glassing it you weld it in place

looks good brian, can't wait to come up there this summer with my hatch, and race. and see how good it will look.

I love the shaved look (hehe), but they will not let you drag if you have no door handles. The street is a different story....

yeah thats true, in case of an accident the rescue workers need a quick way into your car, so no trips to englishtown for you brian.

crx in the night

i think you need to get a new liscense plate light.

yeah i know but just one of those things you never get around to you know
to busy on everything else plus i want to mave the plate to the back of the hatch when i redo the hatch

ill keep a exra set of doors and bolt them on for a night, what if you have drag racing mesh for doors?

nah ... the law says that you have to have one ... it doesnt say anything about your light being bright... Just like it doesnt say anything about it being clean either!

actually in NY, you will get a hefty fine for not having a clean plate.

Hey CRXCE -

The first side really does look good. 1 Question tho - actually 2, but anyways, When you welded the sheet metal on, you welded it to the outside of the door ? just wonderin cus i dont know if that would have you to use more fiberglass layers to make the rest of the door flush w/sheet metal, i jus thought if you did it from inside.. ( if you even can get to handles from there somehow ) it would leave you w/less work - i dunno tho

and question 2 , the kit you bought for the doors to unlock/open what kit is it and where u get it ? how much ?

thanks for any info -
