TOP SECRET: project C

been a LONG time since Ive posted on here!
well been here and there and up to a few things, nasty divorce, lost my trucks, gained a corvette and drive a 99 Toyota Camry but I'm back because I have a few projects that should rock the square-body world. make sure you keep subscribed. Everything will be mostly vague, but will have a pretty cool reveal at the end.

These donor panels naturally were spray painted black, and really any method of stripping them would melt the plastic. So a little elbow grease with a wire brush to knock the loose stuff off and a few coats of high build primer and some glazing putty to make them a little straighter and get rid of the scarred sections. these panels were not in the best condition before but will look really nice when finished. all the grain texture is gone from these purposefully

the door panel trim at top will be smoothed and trimmed so it actually fits correctly. Most of us have seen how poor they fit from the factory.

these will be done by the end of the month then its on to the next project with a bigger impact

Re: TOP SECRET: project C

Ok... you said the texture was mostly gone intentionally, but now it is back. What gives? Did you add it somehow with a coating? Wrinkle finish paint?


They do look really nice.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: TOP SECRET: project C

the molds for the door panels had an issue so until I figure that out they will be on hold for a while.

Re: TOP SECRET: project C

been a while. These are How they look all trimmed up. I have a few bigger projects going on that align with carbon fiber for the squarebodies. Once I get those done I hope to have a vendor badge under my name.
on another note I may have solved the problem with molding the door panels so Im excited to get those done
