IG@gbrettin:
White spots are low spots. Edges are cleaning up finally. I'd fill in the low spots today but there's a certain Mother of Cats I need to spoil today. �� ---------------------------------- Ok, yesterday I feel like the mould really took a turn for the better. Nearly all the problem areas have been knocked out in the main part of the mould and the edges have cleaned up well. Even better, the back corner AND the front of the mould built up properly. As I said previously (at least I think I did), normally people in their right mind would never fix a mould this f*cked up. 3.5 - 4hrs went into block hand sanding that atrocity. Tonight I'm going back out at filling in a few remaining low spots on the mould and then I can knock those high spots down in one more night of block sanding fun. ... "fun" ... heh Ok, I'm sure you are thinking, "that's all fine and well... but what about the corners?" I'm glad you asked! The hood is going to be placed back into the mould (with release agent around the edges). Then 6 or so bar clamps will be used to lock in the hood. After that I will build up the edges with tooling gel, fiberglass and then more tooling gel. All the corners should be well defined after that. THEN I will be on to fine sanding, all the way up to 1500. Probably a few more weeks at this rate before I get to lay some carbon/kevlar. Which reminds me... I need to make/buy a resin catch and a scale to weigh the carbon (needed to get the correct amount of epoxy). On a side note... I've decided to run an accusump on my engine. I'd prefer to have a full scale dry sump but can't really justify that expense. Accusump seems like a good compromise. https://ainqsa.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://aintsa.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://ainssa.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://ainvsa.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://ainusa.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://ainxsa.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://ainwsa.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://bsnpsa.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://bsnosa.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none |

Last leg of the cold side completed. I had a bit of fire under my A$$ to get out there and wrap it up.

Looks like the CF mould full on sh1t the bed. The pin on hood has been dashed for now. You guys have seen the whole process, cradle to grave. The corners of the hood require too much work to bring back up correctly. The issue is not with the low spots on the side of the hood, but rather how the mould is down away on the corner. The mould needs to be stiffer which would require additional layers of fiber glass OR a carbon fiber shell. I would have done a CF shell if the mould met up properly in the corners. The mould was really starting to work out in a lot of areas. A line must be be drawn the line in the sand somewhere.
I'm going to make a one-off pin on hood for my car and apply all lessons learned; however, I will resume that early fall when temperatures are perfect. I'm also shelving the cowl for now too. Next hood will be perfect on the tooling gel and a shell of carbon fiber. The price difference is not that big and will be WAY easier to move around. I am slightly disappointed but not at all shocked by a setback. I learned SO MUCH from the experience. Well worth the material waste IMO. Moving on, I started in on doing the hot side. I used lots of tape and time to get the adjustments right. Working with pies allowed for really trick piping configuration. I'm 100% going to have a pro TIG the pipes due to visibility and leaks. The pictures pretty much do all the talking on the pie cuts. It's tedious but give great results. https://zim7cw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://zimpcw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://zim9cw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://zinacw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://zimqcw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://asm8cw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://asm6cw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://asm7cw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://asnccw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://zsm7cw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://zsmpcw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none Final pictures before mould hit the trashcan... Take note at how the front of the mould was rebuilt, it was completely garbage previously https://zsnbcw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none These sides of the mould really started to come out well. The front right corner would need to be built up and there is extra work needed to crisp up the corner. https://zcm6cw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none Back side of the hood looked great https://zcmpcw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none Left and right sides look great after being rebuilt https://zcm9cw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://zcnacw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none Left side could potentially be built up https://zcm7cw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none Right back corner ended up being the deal breaker.

:eek2: Props dude, I continue to be amazed at the level of detail you are putting into this build. :tup:
|
What you need to do. Is to put some wood bracing on the backside of the mold to make it rigid.
|
Yeah, that crossed my mind too Rusty. I'm just going straight to a CF shell next time.

If you guys really want a pin on hood, let me know. Material costs are approximately 200 and I would guess I'd wan't around 1000 to make it worth the time. You could buy what ever carbon fiber materials you want for the look, I really don't care. It definitely would be a unique piece because I'm not going into the business of CF, more so just recouping cost of supplies. And Madwi... I'd make you help on your since you are somewhat local. lol |

IG @ gbrettin
Used all my pies and I need more! The metal stand was inspired by Ironman. Hot side is going to 90 down near the header side. Near the turbo I'm going to try snaking back towards the frame. I'll try joining the two with a straight pipe that parallels close to the frame. --------------------------- Some additional thoughts from IG... A new blade was put on the harbor freight band saw, it still sucks. lol . The pies are cut at 9 degrees and then cleaned up. I grind off the burrs with a grinding wheel, sand the pie flat with a 80 grit sander and use a air grinder inside. For the love of god, anyone doing this... wear safety equipment or you will get a metal burr in your eye. No I haven't gotten a burr in my eye but I have a healthy fear of it happening. At this rate, the hot and cold side should be ready for welds in a couple weeks. Not bad eh? On the off chance my buddy is busy and can't hit the welds (which they have been a lot) I checked with a local welding shop to do the TIG welds for the hot side. I only showed them the pie cuts that lead up to the header for both the passenger and drivers side. I was expecting a quote of something like 300 dollars for both.... nope, they literally said 20 dollars. I probably need to go in person and show them but I was very clear with them on the phone stating I want show quality TIG welds on many pie cuts. ... so yeah, really confused. BUT if it's 20 bucks AND they do great work... I shouldn't hold my breath. So yeah. Progress. Oh, on a different note... I've been considering going full race car digital dash and ripping out all the wiring on the car to keep life simple. I'd need to run one of these: Leash Electronics Street/Strip I really like the OE cluster so I'm going to give that a go first. The less work I need to do at this point... the better. Like I said, just toying with the idea, not at all set in stone. https://y7sk6g.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://y7sm6g.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://0btwdq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://0btvdq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://0btydq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://0btxdq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none |

Ok so I had a bunch of pie cuts and now I don't again. Had to redo the angle near the tire because I'll need more than a sheet of paper for clearance. Last picture is pretty cool because it reminds of bond. Bah bah BA bahAaaahhhhh. ----------------- Before you savages say anything, there's a gap in the pie cut tube. lol https://0rtwdq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://0rtvdq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://0rtydq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://0rtxdq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://0btqdq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://0btpdq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://0btsdq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://0btrdq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://0btudq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://0bttdq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none |
Give you a little tip. When welding that many joints. You will lose some length as the joints get pulled together from welding. What you want to do. Weld everything up, but for one joint. Made that last cut a little longer. Then you can trim to fit, and then finish welding. The a mount of shrinkage you have depends on welder skill, amount of heat used, and amount of filler rod used.

There will be three vbands on each side. It will be a massive pain in the A$$ if I don't have three. Also, that should allow a bit of play for angles. First vband will be on the exhaust manifold, second will be near the frame and last one will be at the turbo. I'm shocked at my progress on my own car! Weird to say... but I only imagined doing stuff like this.... Albeiet I'm not the best at it... but hey, that doesn't matter (if it ends up working. lol). :excited::excited::excited: |

Finished snake-zilla on the passenger side tonight, it eats pies. --------------------------- I wrestled around with the last leg of the connection for about 3.5 hours. End result, worth it. During the process... many swear words and quotes like "F@ck the, G0D d@Mn turbo SyStEm..." and a lot of other variations of that. I used 3x the amount of pies I thought it would take for the whole thing just on the passenger side. https://0ltydq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://z7tpdq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://z7tsdq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://z7ttdq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://z7twdq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://z7tvdq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://z7txdq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none |
Is that stainless tubing? If it is. You have to purge the inside of tubing with an inert gas, like argon to get rid of any O2. Otherwise the backsides of the welds will sugar and not be strong.
You're going to have fun tacking all those joints together. Which is what I would do before turning over to the guy welding it. This way you know it fits. |
Ok, so before I saw your post Rusty I dropped off the tubing to a welding shop because my buddy's shop was extremely busy. I asked them to tig w/ back purge ( which didn't throw them). I then told my buddy later in the day and they were just shaking their heads. That's because the thermal contracting can change everything up to a half inch..
Long story short... I called the welding shop and asked them to tack it only. I felt bad. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk |

Driver's side hotside complete. Pictures don't tell the tale of how many times the pipes were attached/detached. ���� ... Next up... Downpipes. ------------------------------------ The pies are REALLY nice on the driver's side. Not saying the passenger side is bad at all, but the driver's side has no gaps at all which will make welding life easier... My buddy Dave was excited about that. I will need to buy him a steak dinner and pay him some cash when all the welds are done. I yell across the shop saying "SORRY DAVE" for every pie I add. I want to give some context to the fourth picture in. I got pissed off and ripped the pies apart. The charge tube didnt clear the frame area properly. After that was resolved, I started on the bend down and out from the turbo. First attempted had the tube hitting the tire. THAT TIME I murdered the pies apart...Which might have been when I actually took the picture. Even though the thought of adjustments will need to be made, it starts getting under the skin around 8-9hours in. Another buddy, Chris (owner of the twin turbo G8), snuck the pictures of me giving murder thoughts to the hot side. First picture in the lineup... My Juke inbetween two trucks the shop owners built (custom). The Dodge was just completeted.

well, looks like the whole thing got tacked at the welding shop. Looks like they used baby tacks and nailed down the flat spots. Hopefully this works out awesome! And if not... I'm not afraid to cut it up (don't be surprised if you see new pictures of me doing that... lol)

Fantastic news guys! The tacked hotside fit PERFECT. I dropped it back off to be welded along with the driver's side to be tacked up.
-- Edit I also held the two hotsides side by side and they look nearly identical. I was shocked! |

Pro tip (from a buddy of mine): Use Denatured Alcohol to remove all the pen and tape adhesive from piping you are going to weld. The welding shop doing the welds say they spray down the metal prior to cleaning... but I went over this one anyway. I guess it will be extra clean for them.

IG@gbrettin:
First time in a long time I could bolt a part on with out being a headache. Nice off the shelf part from @motionraceworks. Perfect fit and a compact foot print. Plenty of room exhaust with out even having to clock the starter. #motionraceworks #ls370z Full exhaust, @fastintentions , will be ran with my turbo system. Off the turbo it will be 3" into boost actuated dumps supplied by @loudvalves. The exhaust will neck down into 2.5" to the Fast Intentions exhaust system. The mid pipe will be modified slightly and @blacksheepindustriesinc vbands will replace all bolted flanges. The 10 year old exhaust will be polished out at the end of the build AND I will refresh the carbonfiber cans with a special almumized 3k twill. Something to be said about the exhaust specifically, this is the first generation of Fast Intentions exhaust, thoroughly used. I highly recommend them because of the high quality and they have great service. ------------------------- Additional thoughts. Notice the car is on a hoist. My buddy set me up with a permanent hoist location until the car is complete. They plan on using that specific spot for long term builds. With it on the hoist I can wrap up the fuel system, cooling/coolers, transmission button up and exhaust system. I'm grateful to have the ability to raise and lower my car as needed, life got SO MUCH easier! I'm really looking forward to wrapping the carbon fiber on the F.I. exhaust down the road. I think the bolts will be switched out with titanium hardware, 12 or bolts. Here's the link to the Aluminized carbonfiber, that's the same stuff I will do my pin on hood (if you're paying attention to my notes). The aluminum weave will catch the light giving it that little extra.. At Least I hope so...
