Love the creativity in your work, and sorry you had such a setback! That's awful.

My car has a super light pedal.That is how I like it.Also has a lot of power.
He almost flew off back of ramp.

Punched hole in front bumper and tore off side blade.A lot of stuff twisted.
A few thousand in damage at least.

The front bumper is from Fly1 and took a little over 3 months to get.
I have used this shop for years.They do a lot of tuner and muscle cars.

They will pay but I want to drive this summer so will be doing repairs.

Shop cut me a check for $4,200.
So back to work.
Body work ugh.

Pre fit on Spoiler.Have to cut and buff one more time.Car is dusty and driveway has a slope to the middle to drain war.
Next comes the infamous spoiler extension.After numerous attempts it came out pretty well.Needs to be cleared and sanded.The two should be together on car some time this week.

Starting to Catch up.Some low resolution pics. Test fit.Added a lot more Carbon Fiber to add strength.The bumper is more solid now and still is very light.

Damn. That's a stinker.

I am sure you'll have the car "back in the game", looking and performing well.

madwi · 06-14-2018, 05:37 AM

Looking good, man!

JLarson · 06-14-2018, 09:51 AM

Baron, how did you get started doing body work? Your results are excellent, and I'd love to learn some of this in the near future.

Thanks
It just practice and patient.Bought old car when I was a kid.No money so do it yourself.All my childhood friends do their own body work.When you are sanding on large panel it can be drudgery.The prep before you paint is everything.

It looks very nice. I would have hate to have been the guy driving the car during the alignment ramp episode. It would have been all I could do to not fly off the handle.

Baronsmokes · 06-16-2018, 08:42 PM

Few things left do.Some engine compartment stuff and an interior piece.

Dyed top.
Installed skid plate.

Baronsmokes · 06-16-2018, 08:53 PM

Long time coming but got to drive tonight.What fun.
Hooked up well.

Baronsmokes · 07-14-2018, 06:03 PM

Finished making CF A pillar gauge pod.A few flaws but not to bad.
Better than that dam spoiler extension.
Hooked up gauges.

Very nice! Is there much of a blind spot with the A pillar gauges?
