MastersMechanic Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Well today I put the foam on the front and tryed to shape it with a home made hot knife. That didn't work to well red hot wire and foam starts on fire to easy. Then tried to fill cracks with spray foam, another lesson learned not a very stiff foam and hard to sand. Next step bondo and shapping. Still haven't figured a good pattern for the bottom panel yet. still on google image looking through pictures.

jknc90 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Would you be able to post some pictures showing a little more of the rear of the z? Your work looks top notch, I'm just curious how the lines will flow. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenger Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Hey, did you have this on craigslist for awhile or did you buy it off craigslist? It had a pretty cool front end to start off. I really wanted to buy it when I saw it on craigslist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jknc90 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I was wanting to see sort of an angled view of the front with the rear/side area. I think with the way you've flattened the rear (nice job btw), it should complement the front really well. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product. Nice job, I wish I had the skill to do something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK-Z Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I suggest cutting the hood a little to make it flush with the fenders. Kinda looks out of place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globerunner513 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 with regard to the foam molding, try searching for BlueovalZ. He has a lot of good pictures of how he used foam and fiberglass on his project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinhZXT Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Nice job on the front and the hood duct but it think it will look much better with the hood duct move back a little more. That way it will stand out and won't get masked by the front treatment. I am interest to see how you mount the hood hinges. GL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau M Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I was on the fence, but with those tail lights I think it will look pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MastersMechanic Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Well I have updated pictures of the front end but for some reason I cannot post them? As soon as our site will allow me to upload them, I'll post them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
