In between sandin stuff and waiting for stuff to cure, I cleaned up my radiator support and painted the duct.

Front splitter is about done... Made the mounting brackets for the struts.... More to come!

Dallasb84

Fabbed up some adjustable struts with 1.2" heim joints and super strong rod. It's safe to say the struts are overkill and probably indestructible. Splitter will hang from two threaded inserts in the core support and two struts in the back from the front aprons. These front struts should be able to easily push enough to distort and bend the splitter how I want. Not necessarily support it but also push down or bend up.

Continuing to look great!

Looks amazingly aggressive

Thank you very much! Wait till the aero kit is finished.

Little update. Knocked out the rear wing molds. Had one day where temps were above 60* so had to work quickly.

Made a split 2 piece mold for a 3D rear wing. Little teaser action.

Looking forward to some pics of course.

I get excited every time I come to this thread.

I decided to make another spoiler. This one will have aerospace nutplates instead of inserts to allow repair. Another bonus is the ability to change mounting points and possibly use it for more than one car.

So here are some shots of the ensuing fab process. There is a lot going on in here. If you have followed this and my other carbon fab threads you should be able to understand what is going on.









Sorry the pictures area little random. They showthe mold prep, layup and bag.

Here is a nice close up of of the 3/16 floating nutplates I will use for fastening.

Well made some progress. I made some tough board for the big chicken **** winglets. Here are some photos of the progress this far.

Dallasb84

Well here she is gents, the spoiler formally know as. The big *** chicken ****. It's pretty big. Like she likes it. Ha ha ha








This baby is bad ***. 100% carbon...no glass.

Wow! Is there anything you can't make?
That is a great project and finished in short order too. You are an inspiration.
Thank you for taking the time to teach us this stuff.

I'm still not done yet.... Got a two rear flares to install, mini tub the left rear side. Fab the under tray and diffuser.

Dallasb84

Getting there!!!

You are building a sweet "one of a kind" ride for sure! I love the fabricators that change the impressions of style. I am really digging this build.

Dallasb84

I didn't like the stripe.... Fixed

Dallasb84

Thanks Tyler.

Dallasb84

Omg I can feel it getting close now!!

I smell what you're stepping in.

Did some fab today on the wing uprights.... Probably not going to be permanent unless it performs well but I will finish them like they are...

Thought ran through my head to leave the core visually exposed!!!





Im going to route lightening holes in the supports and smooth them out.... But.... Since there is 4 layers of carbon in the center I'm contemplating routing to the carbon and leaving a web. Wood look pretty cool. Maybe. Lol not sure. I'll sleep on it. I can always wrap it in carbon if all else fails.

Dallasb84

So far so good! Here's some shot of the progress.

Here are my carbon side splitters made from you guessed it. 1/4" toughboard.

Side splitters installed... Getting close!
