That will most likely fit anyway they're really flexible.

I believe these are ex Julian Eisel (Aerodynamix) aeroscreens.

If so, they'll fit a SSC scuttle. Julian and I offered one up against mine to check.

New aeroscreen does look very similar

Can you link/post pic of dash panel please,and when they will be available.

As soon as I have one I will get them posted

Talon if your gonna make snotty comments at least stand by them instead of deleting them straight away people still get the email with the comment if they are subscribed.
Its petty really.

must have missed that one

haha busted!!

So what did it say? don't keep us in suspence:confused:

Well today is the day I nip down into the land of soft southerners and collect the moulds I have hired a van made the arrangements beat the wife (not really she would kill me) kicked the dog (she too sweet to do that) and cleared the garage and sorted out the garage heating so its not like working in a cow shed anymore just a laminating table to build and I can start producing bodywork

You would think it's almost Christmas! Are you going to wrap them up for yourself :D

of course some super hero paper maybe a bit of frozen mixed in for good measure

Try and remember your kind wife has her own sign in to the forum and can see when husband posts tall stories ....... see you when you get home then :eek:

Mrs vmax careful of the moulds :)

I am now back from the short trip the moulds are with me and I will start going through what needs to be done to get them in peak condition in the morning

That was a nice easy trip then mate? Now the hard work starts!!!

Russ

Sort it out with the wife first.......:p

Now that I have everything I need to make a few body sets I am finding space a bit of a premium I can manage for now but going to have to think about a unit sooner or later anyone throwing a shed out locally for all the brother in laws tut that I seem to be storing

After what seems like weeks of wet flatting and polishing I finally have the moulds to a point where I am happy with them so this week I will pull a fresh master from the nosecone mould as I want to make a new mould eventually but now the order book is open

dont expect much before the new year but a will be taking 50% deposits and the remainder when the parts are ready for delivery/ collection

Black dash panel,COD as just up the road from you,and soon as you like.

First parts made today funny how everything comes flooding back really quickly anyway here is the first part a dash blank

Looking good ;)

I've been looking at how the moulds are made and I have to ask why do they all the same flaws? I went to college to do industrial model making and we where taught that if you can incorporate a clean radious edge or dead edge to the moulds then you don't have the over spill of the fibres and resin. If you use woven roven or cloth up to the edges it makes them stronger and cuts down on the chance of chipping the gel during trimming, it adds to the cost of production but it cuts down the chance of producing seconds. Also making a split mould seemed rather more desirable rather than just removing the return edges and back filling the edges with plasticine to produce the edges.

Phil, for god sake take a chill pill, the guy is making an attempt to sort out a supply of body parts, criticise others when your own house is fully in order.
you have threatened all sorts of developments etc, but we all know that empty vessels make the most noise.

Merry Christmas

I can only work with the tools I have

that makes no sense to me but I can only work with the tools I have but if I have learned anything from 20 years on and off of fibreglass experience those who can't.... teach!

Ok calm down guys...one thing is for certain Dave has had the balls to take this on and if nobody else had then we would all be at a loss as to where the next set of body panels would come from or be able to order rather than searching ebay or whatever for used or seconds. Constructive criticism has its place but not at the beginning of his venture....support is what Dave needs right now, I'm sure he will amend /modify his moulds to make it both easier for himself or improve quality as and when it is required .....the guy cannot run before he has walked first.

Its sensible for all that this should be the end of the conversation....;) And the product speaks for itself.


See you tomorrow Dave.

agreed see you tomorrow

ill be needing a 10 piece set with wide scoop bonnet
but im still undecided on what colour to go for
kawasaki green
cobalt blue
orange

if you have any pics of panels in the above colours it might help me decide

regards
steve

The only ones I can think of off the top of my head on the green and orange if you search member gus then look at his finished car pics thread thats the green one and search handyandy build thread for the orange

hope that helps and those bodys came from my moulds during the saturn days

Sorry to hijack this thread, but can anyone tell me what clearance there is on the wide scoop Saturn/Gilliam/Vmax wide scoop bonnet?

I'm at 240mm above the top rails on Phil's TMXR chassis, so I'm planning on getting some modified engine mounts to lower it, but I need to know how low to go.

If anyone has any better ideas, let me know.

im using the wide scoop bonnet on a tmxr chassis mx5 1.8 engine, i sat the engine on the table and raised the chassis 40mm off the table to make the sump effectively hang 40mm below the chassis and made my engine mounts, clears the bonnet ok

Thanks Phil. So, are you saying that the bonnet fits with the standard mounts? 240mm seems high.

My car is ral5005 signal blue. I thought it was going to be a bit darker from using a colour chart online. Cobalt looks like a nice colour

any pics of how the bodywork is coming along vmax? might be in the market for some

Today Ayjay paid me a visit to collect his new nose scuttle and bonnet so after a coffee and a chat we loaded his new bodywork into his car and he is now on his way back to wales

have a safe trip home

looking good ........ THE BODYWORK..... lol
