Looking good man. Yea the snow is whats keeping me in town lol. Me and Em were thinking about going down there the one day and then it started snowing. So hopefully when it starts to clear up i'll be out there.

looks really good, can't wait to see it done!

Got the carbon fiber on to help mold the rear bumper.


setting up


in place

I also started molding on the side skirts, what a PITA



That is all

Awesome!! Looking good..

Just let me know when to pull mine in after yours..

very very interesting on the CF there

>

Questions, comments or concerns?

Did some more work last night trying to get the sideskirts molded evenly, took a couple pictures of course


Building it up.


Sanding it down.

After work tonight a buddy of mine and I are going to go out there and work on it till the wee hours of the morning, hopefully we can get both skirts molded on and finish up the rear. Maybe even start on the front if I'm lucky.

Hey man. Looks like your coming a long good. Your gonna be out there tonight working on it? I'm gonna check on the roads see how bad they are and maybe stop by for a bit and help you out. I'll give you a call.

Got some more work done on the celica last night, bondo'd up the CF on the rear and started trying to get it flush. Also added some more fiberglass bondo to the one skirt to get it smooth where I had to cut it.







It's nice to see so much progress being made on the car, especially when I look back through all my old photos and see the work progress.

On a bad note I went to go sledding around 1 last night when we were getting a big snow fall and and my truck started overheating so I had to pull off to the side of the road. Did some checking and found 1) my radiator cap was loose 2) I had no antifreeze in the reservoir. Filled the reservoir and the truck was still overheating so I had to call AAA to get a tow to the auto place my cousins work at. This story would have been a whole lot less embarrassing if I hadn't had an attractive member of the opposite sex with me . She took it in stride though, and told me tonight we will try to go sledding again, except she'll drive .

what kind of body filler are you using? just curious?

>

To fill in the hail damage and to smooth out shallow low spots I am using Evercoat bondo.

For the molding and more complex work I am using a fiberglass reinforced bondo.


I am also reinforcing the underside/inside of the bodykit with this stuff

Hey man just curious.. how much did the "Evercoat" cost??

.....and do you get those products at a paint supply store or no?

The bondo was about 20 dollars, the fiberglass reinforced bondo is about 25 dollars, and those tubes of foam and also the tubes of adhesive are around 35 dollars each. Yes, Silver, I am getting them from a paint supply store, D & R Auto Paint and Supply to be exact .

Thanks.. keep up the good work im currently in the process of making my bumper and back quarter panel one piece its bein an asshole though!! well it was before i got this bondo hair stuff than i put regular bondo over it!! seems to be working very well actually!!

Excellent work btw, and thank you for specifying what you used.

I was just going to use the bondo with fiber in it to mold the bumper to the body but after talking with my dad decided to use the carbon fiber. He was concerned that with the rear quarter panel being metal and the bumper being that polyurethane material they would flex differently and that would cause the bondo to crack. With the carbon fiber being as strong as it is we are hoping that will be avoided. The other option was to use the bondo and grind a small crevice in it along the line of where the bumper and quarter panel meet that way any cracks would be in that crevice and wouldn't be that noticeable (kind of like those stress points on long expansion bridges).
