preppin for paint

Man, nice work! This is really looking awesome! The headlights look nice and clear too

Wow Robo!, nice work. You are a real artisan, can't wait to see the result.

Robo:
What's your plan for the turn signals and do you plan to add fogs? It's lookin' good !!!

Thanks guys! I do want fogs in there at some point.for sure.turn signals will be BMW type.tiny round flashers should look good.gonna make a trip to the junk yard and scrounge.still alot of work to go.

Can't wait to see what the front ends up looking like! I'm sure you've got a good vision in your head.

Looks like a good start. I'm excited to see the finished bumper. Are you going to do anything to the rear?

I will do the rear too.I am running out of poly foam.Looks like a 4lb kit for each bumper.

4lb,for each,defiantly no fat chicks after those bumpers!!! At least they will look great, TIGER!!!

I hope so my man. I hope so!

A few more pics..I ran out of poly foam and am ass in the middle of the job too! The shape is comin along like I want.I guess the hard part is having both sides come out even.







I dropped the front about 2 inches.when the glass goes on,I'll then fine tune the height depending on how low I further drop the car when my adjustable coilovers are all done.

nice job so far, I'm looking forward to the finished pics

AMEN to that.........I understand completely.

Here is a view from the front.still a very rough casting.but the height is about where I want it.and still waiting for the poly foam to come UPS.should be finished in a couple weeks.I'm thinking of the possibility of making a blank? I'll see how it turns out.

bottom half.



wheels of course.minus kitty. thinkin about painting them black.maybe satin black.or flat.maybe gloss.I could just leave em alu.dont want em to look either pimp or beaner. no offense to pimps or beaners--------all opinions welcome

Please tell me: where did you find them wheels?!?! and how much were they? are they 18's? 20's? Also, how wide?

man,I dont even remember? but the wheels are made by Speedy.not the lightest. but at the time I think I paid something like $80 to $90 bucks each.dont think this model is still being made.

Damn lol, they look nice! I may want a design like that if I go for 18's or bigger :p

oh..they're 17x7.5

Not bad. They'd look great with what i have in mind :p

Actually, I do. But I want 18's or bigger because the river has redatdedly big wheel Wells, and i can fit in bigger brakes if I want :p

so right now you are just sculpting the bumper, then are you going to make a fiber glass mold and then make a cast from that mold?

If that is plan, what are you taking the final cast with? will you use fiber glass to cast the final piece from a fiber glass mold?

After I sculpt to my likeing,I might make a buck from that.why not? all in fiberglass.should be very light.

Any updates, Robo?
