In our efforts to continually improve quality we’ve upgraded our clearcoat yet again. The old clearcoat was very good, but it was hard to apply and was a bit soft for the massive amount of polishing the end product received. After spraying the first round of the new clearcoat, I’m very happy with my selection. I spent […]
I’m liking this fabric more and more as I continue to complete sets with it. This is the 4th overall 20oz set I’ve completed (two B5 sets and this is the second B6/B7 set). The thicker fabric has a much tighter weave.
Few pics of the first of many pieces for Coran’s B6 A4. First up are the seatbacks. These are all cleaned up and ready for clearcoat. I’ll be dropping them off at a bodyshop to be clearcoated later this week. They are just too big for me to handle the clearcoating on my own and […]
Another new model we’ve been working on lately, the C6 A6. It is very near completion and will be sent to the customer in a week or so. I went with the standard 11oz 2×2 twill because I wanted to be sure the pieces weren’t too thick for the metal edges (more on that in […]
I decided to go with the 20oz 2×2 twill, after some hesitation because I wasn’t certain if the fabric would be too thick for the complex curves of the D3 A8. The shifter piece and the speedometer piece with their intricacies worried me the most. The thicker fabric is much harder to work with on […]
Made some progress on my friend’s D3 A8/S8 trim. The resin is applied to the majority of the set and will spend the next few days curing. After its cured, I can trim off all the excess, start sanding it smooth, and getting the pieces ready for clearcoat. I’m a little behind on the dash […]
A friend of mine recently acquired a D3 S8. Before he picked it up he got a hold of me to if I could do something about the wood trim. I spent some time getting a few D3 cores shipped over from Germany so I could take care of him. These pics are of the […]
I’ve been working on this set for a long time now, but I wanted to make sure it was perfect since it’s for a friend of mine. He got one of my 5.6oz 2×2 twill sets a little over 2 years ago and was looking for a change. Originally I attempted a silver texalium set […]
Just got a few pictures from David of his B8 beltline trim installed. I still have a few more pieces to finish up and get them sent off to him, so I’ll be adding more pictures to his gallery once he gets the shifter piece and the vent/MMI pieces. Full gallery with a few more […]
Someone bought the production D2 A8 set yesterday, so I started wetsanding and polishing some pieces from it (it worked out kind of nice because I’m currently wetsanding and polishing about 10 other things). Unfortunately, the owner has an S8 and this set was made for an A8L, so some of the pieces will need […]
all polished up. The colors seem a little weird in the photos, but I think it’s just my camera and the poor florescent lighting in the shop. Hopefully when I get some installed pics of the set in the car in natural lighting the color will be much more uniform.
My standard fiber is an 11oz 2×2 twill, but I’m always looking at new fibers to make custom pieces. A few weeks ago I ordered some 20oz 2×2 twill carbon fiber so I could experiment with it on some sets and I finally finished the first one. It’s a B6/B7 set, which was a perfect […]
