Challenger Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 How did you connect the air dam on and how did you fill in the bumper reliefs in the side of the headlight buckets. its def. worth it. i would do it again if i had the chance. as far as taking it off. Im just going to hope that i wont need to. Yeah all you can do is hope you wont have to. Id be very paranoid if I had to take it off and would only pick the best of the best of the best to help take it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelToad Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 This is just marglass between the fiberglass buckets, and metal fenders, with some good body filler over it. After it was done I took the fender and shook/rattled it any way I could to get a crack to develop, nothing happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinhZXT Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Steeltoad, Just make sure you don't let any water or moist get to the back of your fender and the headlight bucket. When this happens it will develope rusts and it doesn't matter how strong is your bondig job is it will rip that apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front was blended in by welding in the "indents" where the bumpers use to go. It was as close to flush as i could get it with metal. Its pretty damn close. Then i went though with it and put fiberglass on top of that. in progress pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanh Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I thought of doing something like this with the fender molded with the bucket, but I knew that I would eventually have to take it off. I was going to do the whole clean look with shaving everything. Then I thought about the long run it might not last. It was too late already I was convinced to shave off the door handles and stop it there. Its very clean how you did the front. Thats what makes your Z different from others. Just becareful.

I'm being very liberal in the use or POR and/or rhino-lining on anything that could use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zfixxer Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I have a suggestion for bonding fiberglass to metal, there is a product out there called vette bond or smc adheisive. They will attach fiberglass to metal quite nicely especially if you use bolts too, they shouldn't crack if done properly unless you run into something. It works good for bonding fiberglass to itself as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Aziza were you able to completely fill the crack between the headlight bucket and the fender? Was it only one layer of weld all around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aziza z Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Aziza were you able to completely fill the crack between the headlight bucket and the fender?
