ooooh, CF tank is very tempting, can't say i've ever seen that done before. Headlights look fantastic and the beam pattern looks pretty good.

Thanks for the comments.

Installed the gloveboxes. Really happy with how they turned out. I'll post a pic later.

keep the pics coming
Chris.

Running boards are in process. I'll get back to you with a number hopefully tommorrow. We spoke about molds, and the durabilty needed as it will need to pop out a few sets while being repeatable. So the mold is coming along, and he's crunching the numbers for the actual CF parts. Going by there tomorrow with my CF crotch cooler flaps to finish(spray and blend black). Will try to get him to nail down a number for cost on the boards so we can get this rolling.

Any other parts needed in CF?

Yup , the CF tank is tempting........ But it might be to much CF going on up front(can't believe i said too much CF ). The issue i have with it, is that all the CF on this car is pure CF. No "ricer" overlays. This tank would be an overlay. But on the other hand, it would look awesome!

I'm lacking CF out back. Nothing in the engine bay. Will need to figure out what to do back there.

The headlights have a real nice cutoff line. Swapped the OEM FX45 lenses with clear glass from www.theretrofitsource.com. Sharp cutoff.

How about a type 4 horizontal cooling shroud in carbon

I'll even make the mold ! Let's talk Pete as I really need one to finish of my engine. Can't have the bug on the road with out one

Can he do door panels / rear quarter panels ?

He can do whatever i tell him to!

I'm sure it won't be a problem if you have a mold.

I talked to him last month about door panels, and he said no problem. He was making flat sheets for the DSM crowd to use as splitters. He lays the carbon on a piece of glass, and then puts the vaccum to it.

Give me some demensions(or your old panels-i tossed the '71 super's in the trash), and you can sand it to the final size. I had ordered panels from Carbon Joe for my split, and gave them up to Chris casue they were a different size. I took my original Remmelle panels down in size to fit the rib door properly.

kidding, I bet it would cost a fortune for a carbon ghia body, however a carbon flat fan would be sweet for sandeeps ride

As you would expect without any 'screen or glass!

[petevw]

Here are the carbon gloveboxes installed:



What do you guys think if using a standard wheel? Refinished black with body colour spokes?

I'm trying to figure that out now. In that pic, it has Jamex pedals.
