Rayven14 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Dan and HoHo, let me drop you a personal once I go to UPS online for the quote Okie dokie folks .... Freakin Finally ... Again!!! got the plugs all cleared and polished and I must say that they're lookin pretty spiffy. Both sides are perfectly matched with a nice butter smooth finish. So, Barring any problems I should have the molds layed up tommorrow and from there I start making parts. Although the molds do have to rest/breathe for a day or two before I can actually start mamking parts, but at this point Im sure another few days won't be that big of a deal.Right? think of it like this; Christmas is coming so you can kinda treat your Z to a gift. Oh and I also accept Christmas gifts lol lol PICS!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Looking great. Are we going to drill our holes for door handles and arm rests? Also what did we decide was best with the clips? If someone is gonna make an order maybe we should just pay raven a few more bux and let him order them and ship them out with the shells?

Rayven14 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Well since I have a couple of doors laying around I'll probably be cutting the door handle and drilling out the holes to get it mounted to the door. I do however have to get that all dialed in before I make any promises, as far as the pins go I'll order them and ship then with your order if you all decide on an amount for for that, what do they cost anyway?, I forgot.

DanZman Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 That sounds good, no rush... I just dont want to spend all my money on other toys and then leave you hanging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayven14 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 YEAH BABYYY!!!!!! the molds are finally done!!!! I test fit the mold to the door and its a perfect fit, If I had to be honest I think the fitment is a little better than the originals I made. The plan is to let them rest/cure for another day or so but start the waxing and buffing process so theyre ready to go for monday morning. I'll start by making three or four sets, cut em sand em make the door holes and keep going from there. As far as order goes, I'd say first come first served, meaning those that gave me deposits first get the panels first. I'll make a list and post it to the forum if thats ok with you guys and check them off as I go... Cool? As usual ..PICS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayven14 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Olkie Dokie folkies, Here is how I attach the panels to the upper panel, sure, theyre are probably a million other ways to do it so think of this as just one example of many. 1st pic:This of course is simply the factory panel with the vinyl pulled back, Note: I did not remove the material from the door upper panel, its still in tact. This of course would only be the case if your vinyl is in good shape and you intend to re-use it. Also Please note the alingment of the door upper and the door card (the corners meet pretty flush... this is important as it is the main point of alingment when installing the panel) 2nd pic: Remove the factory panel, it pops off/away from the rivets pretty easily. No pic shown: Remove the factory rivets from the upper panel. 3rd and 4th Pic: align the rear edge of the new panel to the factory upper metal panel and clamp it into place. (Note: Im using the carbon panels that the painter messed up but the install is of course the same for both applications) 5th and 6th pic: Now flip the panel over to show the oblong holes your going to be drilling through into the panel. Note: your drill bit should not scare or other wise widen the existing hole in the upper panel but should create a clean hole through the new panel. 7th Pic: now drill out the holes and find the corresponding rivet size to snuggly fit the new holes, washers help securing the panel but arent necessary. (Note: for demonstration purposes I used long rivets but shorter ones are required) 8th and 9th Pic: the panel is now securely attached to the door upper 10th Pic: Now just simply glue the panel down, tuck and secure the edges and your done. (Note: I didnt go over the fact that you still have to drill out the provisions for the new pins) Also, you can use staples to attach the new or existing vinyl to the new fiberglass panel I'll go over drilling out for the new pins tommorrow, I knew it was something I forgot!!! Your done! go drive it like you stole it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your done! go drive it like you stole it. My kids would like give these door panels to Daddy (me) as their Christmas present to me... In order to make that happen I'd need to get my set shortly... Is that a possibility? I'm ready to make payment and could pay extra for shipping to insure they make it on time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayven14 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Okay here is that list, I used the user name when possible and the first name and last initial if the info wasnt availble. Also, some of these panels already shipped and I have to cross reference my shipping docs with whats listed here. Im having a helluva problem with user names and email addresses and everyting else that goes along with that. ZTR... Your first!!!! HO-Ho is second Yan929 is third William G. (Real name) Martin L.
