jbc3 Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 I laid some fiberglass in the "bump" and made a filler piece tonight. I still have some work to do, but it may work out. The end still needs to be closed in and it needs to be sanded to fit better. It will attach with screws from the inside of the fender or double stick tape or both and will be painted the same color as the body. Comments please. Jody Here is a picture of the filler taped in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhadman Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Hey Zadman,those meats are sticking way out of the wheelwells!That Z has got one mean stance!what type of set up do you have under that body?Tires?Looks killer! BWRex, I don't want to steal jbc3's thread...here's a link to a post about my wheels: Wheels Installed and Post # 52 (The day I recieved them) . PM me and I'll be more than happy to answer any questions. jbc3, That looks good! I, too, would definately like to see the progress on your project. What did you use to create the shape? metallicar, The grill looks nice... Do you have some sort of ducting on the driver side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallicar Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 metallicar, The grill looks nice... Do you have some sort of ducting on the driver side?

Zhadman Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 SURE... uh huh... it's a crappy photo. I see it now, though. There's no reflection off the grill area there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Battle Pope Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I'm sure that car goes like stink, but that front end is awfully dumpy looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbc3 Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 I covered the area with masking tape and laid 3 layers of fiberglass on the car making the back half shape. I pulled it right off of the car and I cut and trimmed it to the edge of the indentation. Then I made a flat 3 layer piece of fiberglass (boards and wax paper). Then I cut the flat piece to the right size and then fiberglassed it to the back. I am not a body guy at all and there may be better ways using foam and vaccum bagging.... but sometimes you use what you have. Jody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Can't see it too well, and I am too lazy to upload more photos, but used regular diamond shape expanded mesh from Home Depot....I think they use it for a base to stucco houses....cheap, shiney and very easy to work with: I used some old OEM Z fuel line as a frame to attach the mesh to: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
