[GTR...GTR...GTR]

lucky bastard. Are they gunna fit? Or are you gunna have to do some custom work to 'em?

[lkailburn]

deffinitly gonna take some custom work to make em fit. weld and drill for the front, relocate the mount points on the rear bottom cushion, and cut away about 6" and the rear back rest just to get it to fit, then i need to worry about getting it mounted in and hinged nd all that hahah.

Wow, going throught this topic and seeing the work on these cars is amazing, inspiring, and unique. So I think i am gonna try this i just wanted to ask, if you guys had any tips i should know about before starting.

[lkailburn]

make sure you use fiberglass cloth, not the mat. i can't stress that enough.

just take your time, think things through, make sure you know what you want it to look like. draw up designs cuz once you start its gonna be hard to switch between designs.

if you get a square piece of foam, to put it on the car, u gotta shape it like the car right? can you sand the spray foam that people use to insulate parts of houses?

[lkailburn]

yes you can sand the spray foam. you can't get super crazy with it. using a metal file works well. and its easier to just cut with a knife as best you can .. i did it when making my rear lip.

here's pictures of my rear lip i fabricated from scratch but threw out because its way to heavy(used mat instead of cloth)
and there are also pictures of my mugen front lip replica i made(i made a fg replica of the mugen lip i bought. its 3 layers of cloth. very light and very durable)

if you've got any questions fire away!

[Claudinho3]

thanks man. btw. is it a good idea to put tape around the place before i spray the foam so it doesn't stick to the car or break off when i go to take it off?

[lkailburn]

yes mask off the car first

Look at my cardomain for my pics... i havent got to work on i in about a month...so its still sitting in atrailer waitin for me...i ghave yet to even start the rear or skirts. I used some spray foam after rough shaped blocks, considering, that the blocks of foam ar hard to get the exact curves of the car.
