Luckily they still appear to want to fit together. That's a relief.







More to come..Lots going on.

Clean

It's a Festivus miracle!

Mocked together... they fit!



Took me the better part of four hours to trim/shape the openings on these bad boys. That was some work. Looking to improve on that.

Here they are tape mocked together.

More in action.

Mmmm carbon...

Oh, And I have epoxy coated both foam gauge plugs. I also molded the base of each pod to match the shape of each mounting location.





Now I get to shape these into something worth looking at.

Happy Holidays all!

Scallops! Hahahahah

Also... Do they make colored carbon?

Mmmmmmmm, Delicious.




Carbon is inherently black, so they can't really change that color too much. EDIT: however Koenigsegg does do some colored carbon fiber pornography. Just google: koenigsegg green carbon fiber


You can certainly tint the resin colors though.

Hybrid materials, like carbon/kevlar does come colored. Well, the carbon is black, but the aramid (kevlar) fiber is dyed.

I used a blue carbon/kevlar when I made my snowboard.

There are lots of colored materials actually.

I'll be going back to composites work tomorrow.

Update:

Bought some 280z 27 spline stub axles to replace the weaker 25 spline axles that came in the 240z.


I've started cleaning and powdercoating those.








Today, I'm going to continue with where I left off.
