Sanding and sanding, pics pg 5 Options

Finally got the keys to the warehouse where I will be working on my car. I grabbed up the parts I've gained so far and took them out there, figured I'd snap a few pics while I was at it. This place is a lot bigger than I was expecting, I guess I've just never seen 4500 sq ft of plain open space before.

This is where I'll be working on it at, I wasn't parking it there to start tearing it apart just yet, I just wanted to get some measurements so I can setup a proper paint booth when the time comes.




Just another shot.



I'm getting excited, I can't wait to have her looking like the nubian goddess she should be .

Well first, the most exciting news...WE GOT SNOW . This is why I live in Nebraska.


Taken outside the warehouse, it's been snowing for a few hours and doesn't look to be stopping anytime soon.

Of course, I also have an update on the car. Both rear extensions and both sideskirts are now mounted in place and not going anywhere.


Passenger side. The rear extension has been molded on and I now have to wait for my dad to come and place a carbon fiber patch over the gap between the bumper and quarter panel and that will be all done. I also need to go get some more expanding foam to fill in the side skirt and then I can mold it to the body.


This is a picture of the foam inside the side skirt. This foam is solid and will hopefully make sure that the side skirt doesn't go anywhere or crack if I accidently rub it.


Driver's side. The rear extension is molded on here too, but again I am waiting to get more foam later on today to fill in the sideskirt before I mold it on.


The rear extension fiberglassed up before I sanded it down.


After sanding down the rear extension.

I also decided that I want to mold the front splitters. To avoid the problem of not being able to remove the bumper I am cutting the front splitters in line with the gap between the front bumper and fender. I will then mold the back part of the splitter to the fender and mold the front part to the bumper. I think that will look a lot better than having the rest of it molded and those just bolted on. I guess I'll find out.
