$5000 budget Mustang

[ArtosDracon]

My mind keeps changing like this, I'm going to have to grow a vigina. Got the top of the bumper built, but I think I'm going to change the ends and put the splitter in the across the bottom, something like this.

I really like that design, flows well with the front of the stang I think!

old man beer spotted.

LOL!!


Car is looking good, cant wait to see it at RTTHs.
I may kick robert out of the way to get a ride this year.

Wish I could make it, while you 2 were kicking each other I could hop in the seat

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

all that "kicking them out" yall talking you going to have to have a Roshambo contest.

Been crazy busy at work, haven't had much time for my nose job. Got this version tacked together,can't deside what the opening shape should be.

The splitter will attach to the bottom, the brake and radiator ducts will be in that opening.

Saweet, dude!! Here's MY feeble attempt at something similar...

[Ron S]

Fits the front of the truck pretty good Adam. I think functionally the tongue portion would have to be bigger. Did you see the splitters that Ray posted? The Nascar splitters are stupid big, but work. I'm still a little unsure as to how large I want to go with that part on a "street car"lol

[Bjkadron]

Looking good!

I saw all of those that were posted and have been following along with some of the theory behind it all. I've taken some pointers too - mine will probably have to be modified soon to fix some little things. And add those brake ducts too.

I also went a "bit" smaller than the NASCAR type splitters as it just didn't fit the front end - nor is this REALLY a functional item. I just like the way they look and if it helps just a LITTLE then that's cool too!

Now get back to work so it's ready for RTTH!!

[CruizinKev]

looks great!!!

I clearly need to attend the Ron Schwarz school of automotive fabrication.

LOL...Dan, you and I had the same idea.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

thats going to look great, ron!

[preston]

Yeah but it also looks heavy. Time to start working with aluminum Ron.

Only because I think that you, like me, dreads working with composites.

No Preston, this will be my first complete fiberglass part. I will finish sculpting this metal out of body filler,(hopefully in the next couple nights), then start making the fiberglass mold. I have repaired glass panels before, but never built one from scratch, tune in to find out what a clusterfu## it is. Ron

Sweet. I love seeing people creating custom fiberglass parts the right way (creating a plug, then building a mold from it).

I've only been able to build fiberglass parts the less professional way: Wrap what your building in foil, lay on fiberglass over that, pop it off, and then spend 2 weeks trying to sand it to make it look right (and it's never going to fit right because its slightly bigger than the original part).

Build a good mold and you can always make more if it gets ripped off or damaged. Or even better sell them

It's almost a shame to pull that tack-welded beast of a bumper off.

It has a certain Frankenstang Monster quality to it...

LOL...yeah, the tacks look like lil teeth that are about ready to take a bite out of the bumper of the next car to get in front of him.

[jackfrost]

fiberglassing is easy...

now carbon fiber, to do it the right way, not so much.
