So I started working on the quarter gilles. Fabbing the recesses should be fun!

what company did you go with for your front bumper?

Marquez Design front bumper. It's not showing on the web store, so I'd just give them a call.

....and what a nice accumulation it is. Hurry up and get them installed...I wanna see. :wow: :wow: :wow:

Hey there you got any updates on this fine project.:thumbsup:

Thanks Thumpt! I'm still working on the quarter gilles. Should have an update, and a rendering :_paranoid , soon....

rendering
 

Just thought I'd share my final rendering for my Camaro. Carter totally nailed the vision I've had for this project, which, up until now was just a picture in my head!! :unibrow:

I like the infusion of all that carbon fiber. :yes:

Very Nice!

WoW!! I really like the direction this build is headed.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The car looks killer! However, one thing is standing out like a sore thumb to me no offense. That quarter insert should be painted with the body. It just looks like something that was bolted on instead of grafted into the body. Just my 5 cents worth of opinion:)

We think alike....., i understand that the cf is expensive, that you'd like it to show for people to notice and all, but, reffering to Mako's comment, i would even say the same about the bumper and trunk lid...they look like its a car/ project that's been upgraded over the week end that the parts have not been yet painted (no offence meant). As an example of what can be done nicely, take Larry Callahan's car, he had the paint ''Climb'' onto the parts to some extent so they show leaving some CF to show, but its at least integrated into the scheme, not just put there as a mere bolt on.

You could do a stripe (large single) using the lower valance's opening for width and carry it over the whole car cutting it early at the base of the windshield like the original Z striping kinda and you would have to find something special to do at the base of the back glass since the panel there is not CF made (is it available?) and therefore the stripe could not go end on it but a nice trim with aluminum rivets (I'm thinking of the black bad ass 67 fastback mustang tthat was built awhile ago....with the big scooped with grilles kinda stuff) for a third light or something to fill the space permitting the stripe to end on the lid while the rest of the space beeing filled.

Lol! Just an idea....Hey, its just my 2 pennies worth, trying to help thats all... ;)

Any idea on the red you want to use? Its going to be killer when done.

Lead.

Thanks guys! :thumbsup:

No offense taken on the feedback. I liked the look of the green 69 Finch built and that was the look I was going for. I'm still considering a large single stripe and I'm looking into having a CF panel made for between the rear window and deck lid. Right now I'm planning on using the red jewel metallic color from the new Camaro. :thumbsup:

First off Ron, love the render/design and build it as it makes you happy! You'll have a killer car no matter what direction you go. :cheers: Second, as far as the single stripe and rear window to decklid area I had the same delima. I simply stopped short of that panel and called it a day. I'll see if I can find a pic. There really not much you can do there but I do like your thinking of replacing w a true carbon piece. Really, it's done all the time - Amir did it, and at SEMA this year I saw a 5th Gen w embedded carbon GS stripes on flat black fenders. Looked really cool, but speaking with the owner it's also a lot of work. (do it :thumbsup: :D )

Ron don't change a thing!!! Its awsome!!! It looks like you parts fit a hell of alot better than mine thats for sure..

Thanks Ron! I'm happy with the design as is, but I've been looking for someone to build the rear panel out of CF by using a repop part as a mold... :_paranoid

Thanks Mario! These repop parts are hell, and these cars differ so much from one to another. I've lost count on the hours I've spent making the quarters, doors, tail pan, etc line up! :cheers:

When you ordering wheels? I'd love to see em mocked up on the car :unibrow: I haven't seen anyone with the rb3c.

I am sure you have thought of this
 

but find a real good air brush artist to paint it to match the deck lid.

Car looks killer!

Thanks Payton! Yeah, I also thought of looking up the guys that did the work on Evade. Still, a true CF piece would be nice.

probably not until after the metal work and front frame is done. Looks like coolwelder62 will have them first!

I need to pay for my NewGen's Rattler's 1st.before order some forgeline's.:thumbsup:

I'm diggin' the Porsche GT2 RS...not sure why! :unibrow:

Lookin Good.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Looks great how's the rest coming along? Also yah not sure what not to like about that GT :thumbsup:

looking good man:thumbsup:

Rendering looks sweet and seem to be making good progress. I like the Porsche gt 2rs as well. Subscribed :thumbsup:

When I went to place my order for some RB3C's.They was a 6-8 week wait for the rim shell size I needed.So I ordered a set of ZX3's.

Anvil decklid fits well with the Marquez hinges. I had to change the struts to a very light 30 pound pressure.

Ron the fit looks awesome !! A thousand time better than mine... Keep the updates coming!

Look's great.!!!.:thumbsup:

Its looking good! Lots of hard work. I like the rendering of your car. Will you be using lead or lead free body solder on your sail panel seams?

Thanks Mario, your car looks great too! Panel gapping is so much fun!

Thanks! :lateral:

Thanks Randy! I'll let my body guy decide. After I finish weld the quarters and roof, it's off to the body shop!

My name is Ron and I have a carbon fiber problem...LOL!

:wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:

Ron are those the new Anvil fenders and front valance?? How do they fit and can you leave them in carbon or do they need body work to make them straight??

And :yes: You have a carbin problem :rofl:

Also I didn't know those were available yet??

Your name is Ron, and you have a bad a$$ car!! :hail: :hail: Love the whole carbon fiber front clip. Only thing...I hope your color will be a dark one so the carbon fiber will blend in nicely.

Hey Rick, yeah the new Anvil front clip. Fits great, very little to no body work. You could gap the doors and run in bare cf. They got one set of full cf, one of cf/fg, and a few fg. I love the wide fender look and the tucked valence with integrated bumper is awesome! :unibrow:
