TinyGiant · 08-17-2009, 08:25 AM

i know. i hear ya. the guy is doing the work for free so i dont want to bug him about it.

should be done soon though :)

custom Lftback · 08-17-2009, 10:08 AM

you should open up a "Tiny's C-one replica fixer upper" side business

again, excellent job!

I would be willing to pay you to have this done! now that you have gotten down the "process" and all

Wow that looks awesome! It definitely takes a lot of patience to work with Bondo...looks like you definitely took your time and the results look great! I'm definitely looking forward to seeing this painted.

TinyGiant · 10-12-2009, 04:31 PM

well. the guy hasnt touched the hood. So i'm going to go get it this week and finish it myself. I gotta smooth and sand a bunch still but should turn out nice when i am finished with it

TinyGiant · 10-12-2009, 08:59 PM

do you guys think i should paint this sucker black or blue like the car?

1NZYaris1 · 10-12-2009, 10:21 PM

black inserts , blue bonnet

YAR1S · 10-12-2009, 10:23 PM

wrap it in CF lulz...
kidding, but it would be nice.....
I saw a cf hood the other day on a subie and it looked good from far away but up close far from good... it was all faded yellow :[

TinyGiant · 10-13-2009, 01:12 AM

i was thinking of trying to find some blue weave fabric .. it would be awesome to have a blue weave that matches the car. It would make things much easier on making it smooth to just overlay and poly it.

i've never messed with doing overlays. but i'd be up for the challenge :)

Here's some blue cloth that looks like a decent color match:

picked up my hood today :)

i have to do some body filler and some sanding to get it silky smooth. the guy is getting the paint mixed up for me so i can paint them up :)

so hopfully in a couple weeks i'll be ready to rock on the paint :) if not sooner!

TinyGiant · 11-02-2009, 01:46 PM

i'll be picking up my custom matched cans of paint on saturday :)

the guy is mixing up cans that already have the clear coat in it so i can do a one step and be good to go :) I might still pick up a can of clear just for kicks to to a second coat to seal it .but we should be good to go. I'll be able to do up my side skirts too :)

1NZYaris1 · 11-02-2009, 03:57 PM

About time

sorry man just need to wined someone up

justjesus · 11-02-2009, 04:12 PM

That blue weave would look good, I think. So yeah. Stay away from the black hood! ;)
(mostly because I'm thinking of a black hood on my Blazing Blue!) LOL
Nah, go for either one.
keep us updated please

TinyGiant · 11-09-2009, 04:41 PM

the big unveiling!!! I have to do a TON of polishing on it to get it to sheen.. but right now its kind of an odd near shinny look. i might clay bar it and see if that makes a difference.

anywho.. it looks awesome.

skirts are painted too .. but i dont have the funds for tape today :) maybe tomorrow :)

CTScott · 11-09-2009, 04:47 PM

Looks good! You'll have to shoot more pics when the sun comes back to visit tomorrow.

TinyGiant · 11-09-2009, 05:07 PM

yeah the side skirts still look a shade too light :( chances are the hood will look odd too.. the hood definately looks like a flat color for some reason even though when test spraying there was a nice gloss to the paint. i'll have to work on getting a shine out of it .. lots of wax and 0000 steel wool :) maybe a clay bar too see if that helps.

if not .. gloss black they will go lol

TinyGiant · 11-09-2009, 05:25 PM

Not sure what I will end up doing if the color looks bad tomorrow in the sun. If I can live with a slight colordiffernce or just do it bla

Bad Idea. Just get some agressive rubbing compound and a rotary.
