Texas Reventon Build

[Texas]

I really detoured this weekend goofing around with the batwings. BATWINGS UP!!!

My goal is to have it test fit on the Boxster sometime next month, BUT every goal I set is only a third of the time it will really take me so don't hold you breath just yet.

I think you can pull it off. We know all you Texans keep a bag of tricks in those ten gallon hats!

 Great thread and very nice custom rims! The price for CNC-maching also sounds afordable considering all 3 pieces are included in it.

Thanks guy's. I cant wait to mock it up. I am about half way done with the inner frame work that needs to be done before I pull it off the stand.

darn Tex, look fantastic! Is it time to see a shot of the body lowered on these wheels yet?!

[SchulzeA]

Awesome! I love those wheels.

Thanks for the kind words guy's. I will try to post some updates next week. I like to post pictures showing each step all at one time but the problem lately is I've been bouncing around all over the place making some progress here and there. Scatter brain. I've been working on the wheels, batwing area, and some inner frame work as well. The rear wheels came in yesterday! Bad pic I know.

Looks good! Can you mix the epoxy a little "hot" so it sets faster? Or sometimes there are different hardeners that set faster. Like how auto paint works.

It took me all weekend to get one CF fin made. I still need to drill holes for the bolts, sand and matte clear it. I see this taking forever. Every wheel has a different fin. For this trial I made a template and then laid two layers of CF on-top of the template and then the epoxy takes forever to set then cut to shape. The only thing I can think of to speed this process up is to make the other three templates and lay up four pieces at a time.

Finally got the fronts and the rears should be in soon.They look really nice in person. Tomorrow I will start making a mold of some sort for the CF fins and paint the inner hoop black as well as the center cap chrome will be black.

Thanks Jackal the wheels were $650ea 19 or 20's most any width for the same price.

The wheels are coming along and should ship this week.

Ohhhhhh those wheels are sick!!!! If I may ask. How much did manufacturing cost you? I have such a hard time finding rims that will take 315 tyres at the back, let alone a design I might like. BBS which is
available here, only goes to 9,5 " wide which isn't enough for 315 tyres. I most probably will be looking at a design I like and then have the rears widened. Again you chose beautiful rims..nn I'm jelous!!!!!
