Hey buddy, I was wondering if you still have this foam matrix, the photos, I was wondering if you want to sell me her, I live in Brazil, but buy it from you just to do my aventador, I'm wondering times make one and get nothing, is to tell me something? about it? or if you want to sell your KIT I also buy  :-\  ::LAMBO



some more view of the plug.

just started the front bumper this afternoon, still waiting for the other half to be completed.
Still figuring out either to make the side fins like the oem car or keep them enclosed like the picture. 
keeping them enclosed would make it easier to make a part out of, but if someone really wants the fins they can make it pretty easily from whats there.

not really, when choosing a suitable donor you have to look at the fender gap between the firewall and the front wheels.  If the space there doesn't relate to the body that you are wanting to overlay onto the frame, than it will not work. 

Almost perfect is not good enough.
When doing a build, wheelbase must match up or its not worth doing at all. 
Plus the vette's fender line is too long, and rear quarter, well there isn't really a rear quarter there at all.

How about a 99-04 mustang donor ? Cheap and lots of power . Any way to make it work ?

The wheelbase of a c5 corvette is almost perfect isn't it ?

I will have everything for it later on as the build progresses.
-tail lights
-head lights
-molded foam seats with metal skeleton or bucket seats, which ever direction I choose to go with on this build.

Do you know where I'll be able to source the taillights, or will I have to resort to the Manufacturer's extortionist prices?

have not made a fiberglass body yet.  staring on the molds next week.  will have a body ready by end of nov. 

Im not incorportaing the tail lights into the body, those have been sanded down.  its just a pocket for the housings to sit inside snugly and your able to bolt it down with out having to fab up a bracket to the frame. 

wheelbase is the same as the real car.
if you are wanting to use a donor, any thing will work.  fiero, mr2, acura integra.  just search for something with a low front fire wall.  Well, firewalls can be shrunk down anyways.   for front engine cars, you have to use an engine cage, this stretches the wheelbase at the same time while relocating the engine to the rear.  those will be  available in the spring.  fieros and mr2 are starting to become harder to find, well clean ones with out any frame rot.

What's the status of this plug? Have you made the fiberglass body yet? I notice you have included the shape of the taillights in the plug, should not this area be flat, to be able to mount taillight assemblies? Can you tell me the wheelbase of a chassis that will fit this body? I know you have a lot of plugs on the go, but I'm hoping this one is a priority of yours?

my machine pumps out one section every 10-20 mins. 
rapids at 120%, feed rate 197%, 400-600" per min.
30-40 blocks used to create an entire plug.  roughly 7 sections per block. 
two weeks to machine entire body.  1 week for prep work prior to molding, 3 days of glassing, 2 full days of polishing.
4 hours to make a fiberglass kit (that's if I use the chopper) plus time all depends on my work load I have during that day.

will be upgrading my machine and facility in the new year, to machine a full plug with a 24 hour turn around time.

styro, just the cheap stuff as it ends up in the landfill after Im done with it.

Front bumper  all done, bonding it tomorrow and giving it a final sand before the real work begins.
right side has partial sanding done to it, left side does not, its fresh off the mill.




youre really pushing these out. how fast does your machine cut and what kind of styro are you using.

Freaking awesome dude!
If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?
