whodeanie's 88 gt custom build (Page 12/79)

here is just a little update I went to the parts store yesterday to get the conectors for all of the lights to get them wired up.
also I have had some people Pm and ask here how I made the spoiler. Ok this is how I did it first I took a piece of plywood 1/4" so I could bend it then I made an arch with a string line then cut it out then I casned all the edges and rounded the top edge. then I placed it on the car to get it where I wanted it then screwed it to the decklid.
then spray the decklid and the wood with spray adhesive and cover it with matterial to hold the shape you want then you will need to spray paint the cover so the resign does not soak threw then just glass over it. when it is dry you can just pull it off the car so you remove the wood and then do the fitting and finish. it is not that hard to do and this is done like they do to make stereo boxes. I hope this helps!
anyway I have a few pictures to post these are of the tail light sub mounts and the windows Archie sent me.



I dont think the windows are tinted I think it is just the protective film on them but I am not sure I have not looked at them close yet.

whodeanie,

Do you plan on adding a brake light to the rear spoiler, like such ? IMO think it would give it a nice little added touch.





You can also get those style marker lights from the Mazda 6. Madcurl used them on his #20.

yes I am going to use a light in the spoiler and I have not found the reflectors I like yet.
Anyway here is an update from last night.
the choptop will be starting soon last night I striped the car to get it ready. I just need to pull the back glass and the carpet so I can get started.
here are some pic's from last night. I will need to take lots of measurements first.
for those who wanted me to take lots of pictures of the chop in progress. I will post pic's but not detailed ones.

Chop, chop !

Man whodeanie you do not waste one minute ! That is awesome !

Any choptop progress yet ?
whodeanie SEP 19, 07:50 AM
let's play a game! does anyone notice anything different?



last night I finished striping the car and got to choping.
it was easyer than I thought it would be. it took about 3 hrs. to get it choped I still need to do all the welding but for now it is just tacked in place.
all the measurements came out exact from the ones I was given and the windows will work great.
Thank you Archie!

W O W ......!!!!!

That is great
I though it was going to take you a while to be able to chop it.
Keep up the great work.

ps
please don't forget to post detailed pics of where you made the cuts
and if you dont mind a little more info about how you went about it.
