I just installed my Steel Flares today and they look awesome
But the 916 front and rear bumper are too poor of quality to continue
In fact they are total garbage.
The worst my body man has seen in 35 yrs.
Does anyone know where the good quality 916 bumpers come from??
Let me know Please.
Only painting to go and I am driving!!!!

Try
QRS
A.I.R.
And Patrick Motorsports (I think some of his glass comes from vendors).
Seems all these FG products will need much work.

OP,

What is your name?

Also, do you bother to take any undercoating off or does the place you use blast everything off?

Jon,

Great work, always fun to watch.

What do you pay for blasting and do you specify they use certain media to prevent warping or do you just let them make the call depending upon the issues they run into like rust, undercoating, plastic filler etc.?

Great question.
My brother sand blasted a 59 sunroof coupe in 1976 (?) had it painted then we ( with my sister ! 3 across ! )drove it to Seattle/Tacoma for the Parade.
Every time we opened or closed the doors we left a small pile of sand.
It was everywhere. Every moving part had a gritty sound.
How to avoid ?

this car cost $700 to blast. We specify plastic on the outside sheetmetal ,even go as far as labeling and media for all structural.If your not sure on a certain part,label it for plastic.

the surface finish difference will be that plastic will give a more natural finish versus a coarse finish from media.


its a good idea to have a rotisserie to help remove all the media!


thanks for reading the thread

Jon- I love viewing your builds and you are a true master at your craft. I think Scotty B. and Jon should have a "build off" competition.....
