Clay Well, I have one for a MK1 VW on it's way to my house, once it gets warmer this spring I'll be checking out the fitment and seeing what needs to be trimmed or revised. Currently, there is no off-the-shelf solution, but then again, who knows, maybe it'll bolt right up and work perfectly without trimming required... |

Lovely renders. I think there could be a market for the add on flares. Personally I am not a fan of the flat sided shape of the GT flare. I think the Fifteen11 guys have it right on their retro mod. Taking the Mk1 Golf/Rabbit theme further, I think that flare style could work also.
The duck bill looks cool but I can't see this working in the real world unless you have a super tall wheel and tyre combo. I have skinned the bottom of my LE valence more time than I care to remember and my car is only lowered slightly. Unless I am missing something, the duck bill would be touching the ground? |

QUOTE(jkb081 @ Jan 21 2022, 09:14 PM) Wow!! Beautiful car! I love the roof. Could that roof actually be a reality? As far as the roof spoiler is concerned, the car will probably never go fast enough to be a factor. Excellent work!! Thanks for sharing. The roof (saratoga top) can be bought now from 914Rubber - if they have them in stock. Zach |

After I posted these on my Instagram I received a message from a friend of mine. Louie runs Customs Factory based out of Nevada and they specialize in carbon fiber parts for concept and one-off or low volume hyper cars.
They did the carbon for the Shelby SSC Tuatara that tried to beat the land speed record for production cars. Shelby SSC Tuatara I can get a set of wet layup non-vaccum mold for essentially the cost of shipping. So I spent some time creating mold files for these flares. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-19709-1645463465.1.jpg) Louie suggested 6oz or 8oz cloth and polyester resin for the wet layup on this home-brew set, pulling directly from the foam molds after some primer and bodywork with duratec. @tygaboy I'd be interested in your experiences as well. At this point I'm not out to produce/sell these, just want a set for my car, but if all goes well maybe a partnership with someone who can make them, if there's interest... |

Hey Glenn - Maybe a brief call would be easiest? PM me if you'd like to chat. For now, a couple observations:
I can't tell for sure from the pics of the molds but do they account for some sort of return for the fasteners? If not, you could bond on a return as a secondary operation. That would simplify the molds and help avoid possible mold lock. The other option would be to make a 2-piece mold and build in the return. You do end up with a parting line but if you're planning bodywork and paint, that's a non issue. My other input is that the mold only needs a couple inches of flange around the shape of the part. Unless I'm missing something, your mold doesn't need to be that deep around the wheel opening area of the flare. Reducing that area will make part removal much easier. Finally, what material is being used for those molds? Vacuum bagging, even if you only pull a low-ish partial vacuum, can make a nice difference. I'm not sure I'm being clear so again, let me know if a call would help. Either way, AWESOME!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Here's a better view of the mold CAD, the green surfaces are the part surfaces. The area of the cavity above that part edge is drafted at 4 degrees. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-19709-1645475681.1.jpg) Yes, fasteners will be a secondary opp, likely bonding some brackets on the inside near the lip. Brackets will have captivated nuts, and machine screws inserted from inside the fender, with washers etc. The molds themselves will be CNC'd from foam, the specific kind of foam I am unsure of, but from what I gather it's a common use in the industry. Louie said that this type of mold could be finished with a product called Duratec. |

Always gorgeous work Glen, love your technique !ยก
Yep it's a special (marketing) art in building retro cars (even limited prod) and being that Singer or Gunther company. Did the 59 Viceroy steering wheels sell out ? Wonder when we will see these on the roads;  |

really am not a fan of that fifteen_11 car and I dislike how many people show that to me (no offense to you of course)
I supplied the fifteen_11 designer with a base model to use to make his... alterations. The 59 Viceroy wheels have not fully sold out, but it's getting close. We have begun getting things ready for the non-limited versions, as well as a version without the wood. |

@Optimusglen yeah that would bug me to no end, people weighing our creativity to that guy & that guy...
Hope that you got paid for your design time ! My Son @MATTYLITE who's design input on our 8gtt proj, sketched up some nice H-I-D headlights in the (turn signal) fender pods...almost exactly like these in the Fifteen-eleven concept. We are at liberty to carefully trim the areas of Sheridan fender-tops in order to get there. Hella H-I-D lights were purchased in 2007, and are now getting to the wiring stage...tedious project. After the fitment, we're hoping that Rudy @curbandgutter will sell us a spare set of his clear lens covers that he is prototyping on his awesome v6 widebody project (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/marty914.jpg) |

Stunning work as always.
QUOTE I'll need to browse through some color books and find something close or get it custom mixed Ice Green Metallic? https://www.colors.rs/colorsearch?tag=ACAHu...p;searchtype=rs |
