Alright the time for talk has stopped and the time for action has begun. I've finally started on my first batch of parts. I'll give a run down of what I'm working on right now. This is all for a current customer but all these parts will be available for sale as well. I'm not going to sell any parts off of this site or anything like that. There are companies who are paying to do that as I'm typing this and that wouldn't be fair. So no prices will be posted for any of this stuff. EVER. I can do it through email and the sight once it's up and running ONLY. No PM's please. But I will post the link to my site as soon as I get it back up and running. Anyways here's the parts:

In carbon fiber:
Heatshield for the brake master cylinder.
Splash pan for underside of car.
Relay cover (the piece on the side of the engine compartment by the battery)
MSA style body kit (only in carbon, no I won't make these in Fiberglass cause it just doesnt seem right when somebody is already doing it). I will be making my own original kits in fiberglass though.
280ZX emblems

In Fiberglass:
Hood

I'm making more parts for this customer then these but I want to test them before I make them available to anybody else.

These are not hypothetical parts. These are parts that I'm actually making RIGHT NOW. Some should be done within a week-week and a half. Others are going to take a little more time as plugs are being developed. But expect to see most of this stuff within a month or so. If you've still got suggestions for other parts please post them in the other Zspecgarage thread. This is more so for people interested in what I'm already making and to keep you guys updated on progress.I'll post up some pics of the parts as I finish them and true to what I told Skully I'll even take some "going through the process of building a carbon part" pics so you guys can get an idea of the process. Man the relief to actually get to make something instead of just talking about it is enormous. Remeber if you want something made put in the other tread or email if you're really serious about seeing it put into reality. As always, feedback is always welcome

There seems to be a fair bit of interest around for ZX body stuff eg http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=106345

 

good to see you go at it....man you will have to make everything perfect as people cant fix up carbon fibre at home...alot of work for you my friend make sure your Z is straight and perfect if your going to make the kits using it as a guide...good luck with this, i hope you get a great market...advertise as much as you can (with permission from site owners afcourse so you dont get in trouble)
again good luck and have fun..this stuff is fun!!!


what was your mail BTW..?

 

Oh yeah I guess that would help. Edit above Skully.

 

Sounds Awesome j. I am anxious to see your body kits. Not that the MSA kits aren't nice but they are becoming a bit common for my taste. I have been seriously toying with the idea of making my own but its a ways away before I can do that...more power to ya bud.

 

Are You Using A Vacuum Bag Process (same As Aircraft Std) Or Wet Layup That Is Rolled (same As Boats Etc) You Should Take A Mould Of My All Steel Hand Made Body Kit, That Would Sell Like Crazy

 

Finally Got Digitized Pictures

 

Shady, its bagged. I only wet lay the molds. No sense in using wet lay with carbon. Plus carbon is just too hard to work with to not use bagging. PM me about the body kit. That is really clean and beautiful work.

And thanks Nuclear

 

i can't wait to see pictures of the finished parts

 

I know man.. I am gonna want a refund if you dont hurry up J/K

 

Thanks For The Compliment, Ill Tell The Z Clubs Up Here About Your Parts Some May Want It

 

My PM's are cleared out so I can receive new ones now. Sorry guys
