dsommer Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 OK, I told my body guy to pull the paper off the spoiler TODAY and will be going to snap picture os the the mounted spoiler in about an hour. I will post them up tonight. The car will not have tail lights in it etc, it's just a shell (shell/hell). Hopefully this car will come out of the shop with in the next 5-10 days, I can't wait. After that we'll begin the power steering fabrication, drop in the engine and tranny for mock up/drill some holes for the transmission X member, pull the engine out and then off to paint!!!

Globerunner513 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 looks great! Any chance you could snap a more complete picture of the car? Just have yet to see a good shot of how it flows with the body from about the doors back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsommer Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 As soon as the car is finished we'll roll it out. I cannot get a profile pic of the car due to the space limitations, fence on on side and stuff piled up on the other. Sorry bud, you'll have to wait, just like I have for MONTHS grrrrr arggggggh.

Administrators RTz Posted March 17, 2010 Administrators Share Posted March 17, 2010 My wife and I made a trip out to see Brian on Saturday. Got my grubby little hands on the CF spoiler... it looks even better in person. I had to exercise my inner Scrooge to keep from leaving with it. Thanks again, Brian, for all the hospitality!

David Fair enough! Still looks fantastic and is pushing me over the edge to get one of these vs the victory spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Hmm.. I wish you'd gotten a picture of how it looks from a distance. Up close pics make it very hard to tell how it'll look overall. But from the pics you did take (much obliged btw!) it sure does look good. Good luck with the paint. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Thank you for the comments, as stated above as soon as I can roll the car out further (maybe later this week?????) I'll get the prfile pics WITH THE G-NOSE ATTACHED TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

azcarbum Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) David, Great photo's..... Thanks for taking the time to get those done. It looks like a few of them were made hanging from the rafters!! Yes, the photo's don't do it justice........ Almost had to search RTz's car before he left. LOL Ron, My pleasure, your welcome to drop by anytime... Sorry I didn't have my hotel setup better for you ( tried turning him and his wife into a Popsickle ) I'll make sure to have the heat blaring for you next time.

zeeboost Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I thought it was mentioned earlier in this thread that Speeder has one on his car. It looks like it, anyways. I'm surprised you guys aren't using that for a side profile reference. Taken from his sig: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azcarbum Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) OK.... Heads up!! Got with Jesse ( mold maker ) today, and he is up to making the small changes to the Tial that most of us have agreed on. I'm going to meet with him again tomorrow, and we're going to go over the details. Here's what were going to do: 1. making the tail more flush to the hatch lid by doing away with the 1/2 leading edge. 2. remove the rear overhang lip, to allow for the tail to be fitted on the hatch better. 3. rounding the outer Edge's of the wing just slightly, to match more of the Z body lines. Ultimate product were shooting for is a 2-layer, complete CF tail ( FG will be available ).. Weight will be less than 3 pounds by our estimate. If your seriously interested in purchasing this tail once complete, i'd like to hear from you to get an idea of confirmed interest. PS: We also will be discussing a few other projects that are just as awesome.. One is truely remarkable, and insane!!
