I just got an email from the owner of the trim with some pictures of it installed. Apparently the two pieces that surround the cluster and the MMI had fit, but they were rattling a little bit, so I’m going to see if I can redo them so they are a little more snug. So […]
Found a few more images of the cluster and shifter pieces. This set is on its way to its owner. Lets all cross our fingers that everything fits the way it should so I can start offering these.
Last pieces have been clearcoated. These will still need to be wetsanded, cleared again, wetsanded and polished, but they are looking pretty good right now.
Sorry for not posting more, I’ve been super busy trying to complete my backlog of orders. So busy that I just hired a part time employee to help me keep up. He’s done a great job the last 2-3 days, so once him and I bang out the rest of the outstanding orders, new ones […]
The beltline has been clearcoated and looks great. These photos were taken after the first round of clearcoat. They were then wetsanded and shot with clear again. I’m currently wetsanding and polishing them right now and will post pictures of the final results in the next two or three days. The shifter and two gauge […]
All the pieces are trimmed up. Will finishing sanding them today or tomorrow. Most of the edges are pretty flush so I don’t think fit is going to be an issue.
These are cured and ready to be trimmed and sanded. Probably going to be a few days before I can get to it though. I just spent a ton of money on a new clearcoat setup, so I’ll be spending the next few days figuring out the best methods of application. After I do, these […]
Sorry for taking so long to update this thread, I’ve been struggling with some clearcoat on some other sets but will have it sorted in the next few days with upgraded equipment and product. Resin is on the final pieces, can hopefully start trimming the beltline pieces soon.
Resin has been applied to the beltline pieces. Its currently 74F in the shop, so it should only take 3-4 days for it to fully cure. Hopefully it won’t get any colder and slow things down.
I apologize for the poor quality of this next round of pictures, but the lighting is poor in the warehouse and these are about as good as they will get. After I get some resin on them, I can move them into better light and take better photos.
No turning back now. The aluminum is glued on a lot differently than the B6/B7 aluminum trim and was a HUGE hassle to remove. Can probably get some fiber on in the next day or two.
