Jets303 Aventador Build

[Jets303]

Body worked the under hood and hit it with some primer. Looks OEM! Frame was right before paint. Working on getting the whole front clip in primer. Glued a piece of 1/4'' aluminum plate behind the threads and heli-coiled the holes for the bolts. Works great.

Update on the car! Cut off the Duraflex rear bumper and am beginning the flanging process for the OEM copy of the rear bumper I received from Wayne. Thanks again! Fits great, will need to widen the rear quarter panel about 1'' on each side but no big deal. Also managed to score some OEM scoops from Wayne, size comparison in the pictures.

Also lining up the front end with glass and body work. Front hood opens with ease and lines up great. Have the OEM under hood glued together and body worked and it looks amazing. Getting primer on the front end this weekend. Slowly getting there!

Thanks Wayne! Bumper looks killer, cant wait to see what it looks like with the OEM trim and grilles!

Dario. Here’s some pictures of the rear bumper I’ve been making for you, hopefully be finished with the other 2 quarter moldings for you soon. Thanks

Charley is in route to pick it up as we speak. Should have by end of the month if not sooner

Thanks Dale, when do you get your shell?

[lambobuilder]

Appreciate the details and build tips. The Start button looks killer. Great job!

Worked on the car today a bit. Lowered the mount for the fill neck. The height that came with the shell is impractical. It was about 1'' from the gas door. Also been playing around with some 3d printing for the push button start.

In case anyone was wondering, I used Rondo to skin the glass. Its resin thats mixed with bondo 3:1 ratio. Makes for a brushable lightweight paste thats easy to sand. Made my life easy on the corners.

Thanks Bartman, good to hear from you. Hope all is well.

I'm starting to get lambo fever again.  ....I really thought I had put that chapter of my life behind me, went back to building street rods and muscle cars.  Much more profitable but man I like exotic cars.  Again, your build is looking great.  I know what it takes and that's a lot of work.  Keep it up, it'll be worth it.

Thanks Bartman, good to hear from you. Hope all is well.

Moving into the front of the car. Was able to get the front hood hinged, using 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix trunk hinges. Work and look like OEM lambo but a fraction of cost. Used the same ones on my Murci build 7 years ago.

I'm also using and Audi latch and cable from the donor S6 I snagged the motor from. Worked good and has a built in limit switch for some front lighting in the trunk area.

The OEM bumper is allowing me to use all the OEM trim work and man it is lining up perfectly! A lot of metal work in that front trunk area but it is looking killer.

Also, I ripped the cut outs out of the OEM lambo box and used them here and holy hell! What a world of difference it makes! They are the vacuum actuated so on idle they are quite but when you crack the throttle, its loud! Not V8 loud but gurgle V10ish sounding! Very happy with it. Just waiting  on finalizing the rear bumper placement so I can finish routing the exhaust onto the OEM tip.

I don't get on much of these forums anymore.  But great job man, that's going to be awesome.
