LS1 Z Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Nice!!! Good job! Some details on how you made them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Poly Zmanaustin Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 I added one more pic. I used the original stock panels as a template. I cut masonite to match the flat part. Then the real fun begins using solid foam and shaving it down to the shape I wanted then using fiberglass resin to harden it. It's like a game of subtraction. Once the shape is there and somewhat hard I layered fiberglass with resin for the permanent structure. Last use bondo and basically clean it up. If anyone wants to do this make sure to take some measurements and pay attention to the first panel you do because the opposite side is a duplicate and less free form. Just a little advice with 20/20 hindsight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Poly Zmanaustin Posted June 11, 2006 Author Share Posted June 11, 2006 Thanks for the compliments guys. These are the back pieces to share as well. I am actually selling the rear portion now. I don't have any good shots from when it was in the 260Z I sold. It sits in front of the strut towers and then comes down to the floor. In the last shot you can see the front view. The opening at the bottom I relocated my opening for the stock tool compartments. You can kind of get the idea how it was assembled. I finished it off with these side pieces that all come together. One of the side peices holds an amp and the other a changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
