That's really interesting. Using lasers to make hot rod parts. Who would've thought this 10 years ago?

Need to have the AC knobs and the switches anodized so quicky fit up to pick the sheen.

So true. Even the laser guy was not sure it was going to work. Nothing ventured..... Hope all is well.

I cannot wait to see the dash installed in this car. It’s going to look incredible.

Thanks Marty. Soon!
Taking a bit of a break from making the lower splitter, going to fab in some doors into this Fiat. Gotta earn my keep here in this shop, Kenny and his guys are being more than gracious letting me stay here for a while, so I'm gonna do my part. Local old school drag race guy looking for a little blown hot rod to cruise around and cause trouble, so it needs some doors. Should be a fun distraction.

Fiat done. Back to the Camaro.
Laminated both halves of the lower splitter. Gelcoat, Carbon Fiber, Glass and a layer of Kevlar(yellow). Will put the two halves together tomorrow, should be interesting. Some might use 3M panel bond but I'm going to use 1/32" Fibers and resin as I need to drill/tap it so I can bolt up the aluminum portion of the splitter. That mix is ultra strong/dense and taps very well. Will only have about 3/8" of threads but already tested and I couldn't tear the 10-32 out, should work fantastic.
