You fiberglassed in the cold. I thought it had to be at least 60 deg for strong hold. Or is the 60 deg just suggested so it doesnt take a week to dry. Or is their no 60 degree rule and I just thought it up in my head. Anyway mad props.

It just takes forever for it to dry, and dosnt fully cure. It needs some heat on it to dry and cure properly.

I do glassing in the cold, but it will take like 3 days for it to dry even with a lil heater on it.
haha playr the ride is coming out so sweet....cant w8 to see it done
oh man its turning out mad good... hawtnesssss... keep up the fantastic work bro >biggrin.gif>

..(formerly daily driven) 3S-GTE powered celica currently set @ 12psi..
should of spent more time taping off various regions and used a paint gun... if u didnt... looked like u used a spray can. im just now learning to tape of things and i have all the right equipment to do it... shoulda put something under the vent so u dont get overspray on the engine. should have done it in a garage, u'll most likely get contaminents in it and get fish eye's.... unless ur just covering for now just to prevent rust and then getting it painted? i dunno, if u are, then its alll good. btw, looking good... need to mold the light housing a little more for the flushness. >biggrin.gif>

the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.

lol not all of us can afford paint guns and a garage
i have neither
i did tape off what was needed and HELL YEA I USED A SPRAY CAN WATS IT TO YA
i made it look reasonable too >smile.gif>>
but nah its just for now i have to get it painted later when i finish the body work
i got an aftermarket paint job with a spray can..... i got pictures if anyone wants to see em.... it came out pretty nice!

its okay, actually spray can is basically the same idea of a paintgun, cept ur not mixing ur own paint.
and my last post by no reason was a put down or nothing ur doing a freaking asome job. what u gonna do about the headlight gap?

LMAO aftermarket spray can job hehe

but what headlight gap? there is none
but i used dupont rubber undercoating for the paint and man that got messed up so yesterday i took a razor blade to it and scrapped it off the car then went and did a real spray can job on it for temp purposes
the headlights seem to be good they are a lil on the tilted down side so i'll have to adjust those when i get a chance but besides
the fix paint and angle adjustment it turned out REALLY good
just have to do a lil more smooth things out work with fiberglass and roll the edges of the hood
then on to REAL PAINT oh wait real paint comes after the 7th gen rear >wink.gif>
Your kidding about the 7th gen rear right? I dont think the lines of it will match or it will look good at all.. but good luck.. would like to see you prove me wrong.
im in the process mof doing conversions myself. if any one dont like it. guess what? i dont give a f**K
dam thats looking good!!!
damn dan, nice job bro. can't wait to see it all painted with the c/f hood

Team 6gc 2oo5
Awesome job! Good luck with finishing the project.

U beginning 2 sound like me. Nobody liked my rear till I did it.
Ok the 7th gen rear looked nice, but I mean are you doing the tailights an all? cause I dont think that will look that great.. but who knows.
nope i said JDM TAILS
with a 6gc/7gc hybrid rear
meaning i'm only using the bottom 1/2 of the 7th gen kit rear
anyone remember that camo 7gen and 6gen a while back that looked really weird or something... they used a 7gen front whole body on a 6gen car... looked weird, but looked alright and was in japan... neone remember this?

the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.
