Matt.... everything about your last two posts were "teases" :lol:

OK, back to the details then.
These are the front brake duct cooling bezels. I first carved a foam pattern by hand with a lot of back and forth trial fitting to the front valance until I had something I was satisfied with. Then I handed it over to one of my designers who recreated it in Solidworks and made a mirrored version for the other side. We then printed them out on our 3-D printe and cleaned them up. Once I fitted them again, I tweaked them some more until they fit really nice. I then made the screens and put them together with the ducts that one of Steve's guys made by modifying the original turn signal buckets welding on steel tubing on the back and blending the transition.

What material did you print them out of?
Cant wait to see the car!

MaTT --

After seeing these photos -- I think I liked you a lot better when you were covered with sanding dust and sweat (kind of the corn dogged look) ... and looked like "one of us"!

:rofl: :rofl:


:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

One word. Awesome !

Can't wait to see in person. Great attention to detail!

I almost made a joke about you having to upgrade your photobucket bandwidth after posting the mansion pictures up a few days ago. Looks like you just might have to upgrade after all.

Looking forward to seeing it in two weeks.

Matt

i'll second that...

Sorry about the lack of band width problem. It's fixed now! So, now on to some more detail shots.
Here's the one and only Steve Stanford doing the pinstriping on the edge of the rear stripe.

Here's the rear end taped off for pinstriping, but otherwise done except for the rear glass. Luckily NPD in Ventura was open until 9 PM on Friday or we wouldn't have had rear glass for the mansion. The glass guy didn't realize that his supplier gave him the wrong back glass until about 5:30 Friday night! Yikes! NPD had it in stock, so he went and picked it up.

The car looks great.
