very nice, your attention to detail is awsome, along with your work and craftmanship!!!

we are in the process of finishing our front end and making bucks for the headlamp buckets.....oh and started the center console build.
added some detail shapes to the front nose. http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6186.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6187.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6188.jpg Headlamps start with a Jetta JDM lamp assembly, add one saw and some fiberglass resin, wool and mdf and you have a start...., I will be using all the bulbs and halos out of them. I just cut the parts out that I wanted to use and placed them on the mdf board and then set them in place and stretched wool fabric and wet it down with resin then alot of sanding and high build primer to get smooth. http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6190.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6191.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6196.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6200.jpg I am using Pro Sport gauges, really cool led , tinted gauges, check em out on u tube...this is the beginning of the pod in the center console http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6203.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6206.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6207.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6209.jpg I will update more later..... |
Just caught up with this thread and I am amazed with your build, great work! This has inspired me to get off this dang machine and get out to the garage and get something done.:hail:

Its been a while. I have had some other projects to finish up, I just can't pay the bills working on the firebird, really stinks....I have a lot of things kinda going with it and just wanted to update the forum.
We made our own interior panels for the rear quarter area, as well as our own door panels based off the stock delux but altered a little to clear the ride tech tiger cage we installed. Also has a little more detail and a speaker hole. We made molds and that is what you see pictured, I haven't built a part yet, that is up next. I did build the rear molds and pulled some nice parts off them. Thanks to Terry for all the help in teaching me and helping with the molds and parts. The center console is its own crazy build, some parts will be painted and others wrapped. I am building a vacuum forming table that if it works right will allow me to do dash repairs and such, but for this I am covering the door panels and rear panels in a near match to the new camaro door vinyl. it should add a nice modern look. The top of the console you see in the pictures is all mocked up and filled for a mold we made to make a quick light weight part. http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6344.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6351.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6666.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6717.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6728.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6727.jpg Top of Console http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6729.jpg rear quarter panel http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6350.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6349.jpg Finished part off our mold http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...s/100_6725.jpg We got the mold made for the front end and our first piece pulled out and currently working to fit and finish it for paint, we had to mock up mounts for the headlights and fog lights and grill. |
