Neil's Aventador Build

<< < (4/5) > >>

Managed to finish some work in the engine bay. The cross brace/ shock support is actually structural since I removed the Fiero trunk completely. The shocks are just for show however. The real ones are in the stock Fiero location, but aren't visible even with the open 20" rims.

I’ve been pondering myself how to do this with all the panels that are supposed to be removable. I’m thinking the flanging molding method is in my near future

I hadn't thought of that. Though it would likely be as much work as just creating a new part with a built in flange. I'll definitely consider it though!

I think anything you do to try and bond that on as a removable piece will fail over time. This is because it is not held on by much and subject to a lot of wind force.

I would suggest cutting it off and then make a flange to bolt it to the rocker. After the flange is complete, pull a quick mold of the part and flange this way it is all one piece.

Thanks Glenn. You're probably right. I was hoping there was a quicker/easier solution but I guess I'll buckle down and do it properly.
