You could do it in yer house. Just take off the bumpers or get some from a junk yard and put down a painters tarp and work on it there.

Have u ever worked with fiberglass? ....the small fibers stick to everthing and its hard to remove them + it makes u itch like hell.....an then there is the glue .....ye when u woork with the glue a long time u forget the smell....but its a strong smell.... lol its a good way to get rid of people in the house but its best to work in a garage

[GTR...GTR...GTR]

Never worked with it before. But I figured it's a pretty strong smell.

How do you put the fiberglass on? What do I need to do to work with it? 'Cus I have no idea what I'm doing.

Its easy.... just have to cover the surface that u whant to cover then put the fiberglass on and cover the fiberglass with glue again and put on a nother layer....us some kind of brush to put the glue but dont make a much glue caz it hardens quickly if its warm.....i had some kind of rolling thing that i used to get the air out of the layer.....but u only need it when u are using separate fiberglasses......when u cover the shape ur making the only thing u have to do is to make sure that it stays like that.......sometimes it can come loose and ruin the thing.

What kind of foam are you using? Is it the kind with the little cells? Doesn't it just rip apart?

Kinda off topic, but i have heard that the DIY lambo door kit at lambodoors.com is a great and cheap way to put lambo doors on your car, but i was wondering if anyone has tried it and if so what all kind of work goes into it? Is it more work than it's worth? Or is it farely easy for what you get and the money u save? Thx

[GTR...GTR...GTR]

Pretty much from what I've heard it's a real bitch to DIY unless you've got a background in welding

[spoony78]

As the subject says.


Got so many ideas

The DIY thing there IS NOT a kit....it is "instructions, on how to DIY, and the "instructions" are actually a actrile printed in the July 2003 Issue of Hot Compacts and Imports, I think it was pages 106-112. It was a article with photographs showing the process of installing the Decah VDC. Notice, the "lambodoors.com Kit" isn't a kit, it is instructions, it says so on the site. The site says, includes step by step instructions on how to get your doors to swing vertically. PARTS SOLD SEPARETLY. The Instructions, are that arctile on the Decah install from the July issue of HCI. You don't need to pay lambodoors.com $50 for this shit, call HCI and get the July 2003 back issue, it shouldn't more than $8. Look up pages 106-112. There you go, the "instructions" for $43 less. The parts the use it those "instructions" is the Decah VDC. Or, call Decah and ask Kevin to send you then article with the instructions and pictures of the install from the July 2003 issue of HCI, he should be willing to send you that for free. Anyways, lambodoors.com is a ripoff, they are tricking people into thinking they are giving you a kit and instructions. As I said, all it is is the article on a Decah VDC install from the Julyt 2003 issue of HCI. You can certianly get that a hell of a lot cheaper than the $50 they want. Remember, it was orignally only $3.99 on the newstand.

definatly try home depot, they have insulation foam that comes in long sheets, something like 2'x8'. Maybe not that long, but they will have, ass for the thicknss, just glue pieces together.
