oh my god dude, that is absolutely insane. Props
lowriden_acura
thanks dude …yup fudge them …most are just mad because allt hey can do it talk and most have troubles with even that haha
Do you happen to have pics of your car ? lowriden has me curious
TegraOS
haha not really ,but thank you
ok i did some more ,the inside is ticking me off so i went back tot he drivers light
after i reshaped the 1/4 panel once again i filled in the areas like last time
added this peice
and this peice
and this one
i have 2 peices to add to the hatch still
oh and i added this peice too
and i don’t know why i took this pic (shrugs)
and the side view for who thought it was pointing down
now can you see why they have to be like that ? if they were not aftermarket lights ,you wouldn’t notice anyhting . i could have got them to be perfect but i wasnt going to make the whole rear panel .just not worth it .
hope to work on the car again tomorow . i wanted to get moredone tonite but i had to make a dog pen haha ,too much shit going on …
I do all my own paint work and body work as well, you got 10x more flux welding stills then me though.
DAMN bud thats is nice !!! i hope mine looks as clean once finally done …
i’m really into door panels ,did you make the inserts ? id like to try out carbonfiber one day.
Thanks, its been kinda a long term project, been messing with this DA since 98. I’ve had a few other DA’s and accord’s. It just pretty much sits in the garage.
I do a good amount of fiberglass work, sub boxes, panels and such. I even make DTV antennas out of fiberglass for my dad’s business. Even made the “comp-tech” style intake in the 1st picture out of fiberglass.
The door panels I made fiberglass overlays, and sent them to a company, they made molds and were selling them for a bit, but they went out of business. There are only a few pairs ever made. I actually have another set of carbon fiber panels, they just need trimmed and finished. Been thinking about selling them or making them work on power panels for my next project. Carbon fiber is a pain unless you have a vaccum bagging system.
Those carbon fiber panels are tits.
X2 :jerkoff:
I want those panels. xD
Love the custom 1pcs. Did you do them yourself? And if so, you should do a write up for us.
Yeah, I did the headlights.
well i finshed the welding on the outside ,cleaned it up and now have a coat of filler on that sucker …I allso moved my computer outintot he garage so now i have no need to go inside buwhahahahaha all nighter bitches
wait, so did u scrap the fuel tank behind the light idea?
lookin good
crazy seaman
i don’t know if i’m going to have the filler behind the light … the RSX lights are way deeper and i know for a fact that i can not have it flip up like i had the DA light doin
i dunno we shall see if not i ahve something up my sleeve
lowriden
thanks bud
did some more to this tramp haha
started to sand it down but noticed some deep scratches and pin holes ,big pin holes ,so i filled them
while that was drying i removed the rusty rear bumper ,broke both bottom bolts haha
i was suprised to see no rust under it …:thumbup:
after a sand and wipe with mineral spirits
then i primed to see how close i was
not bad ,but i took it down to much on the inside so i have to add or remove the rest ,i,'ll most likely just add since everywhere else is good .
don’t mind the enter of the light .its the tape thats makeing the line look like crap
But notice how round it is ont he bottom of the valance ? well i don’t like that and i guess the filler sagged on me ,but i don’t see how since i only used a little bit haha oh well
notice the lip and the curve
after a quick blocking to bring it back straight
allmost there
now i have to hit it with high build ,but thats not till i sharpen the line at the bottom of the valance :thumbup:
more to come …
i’m starting to drag pretty hard guys …all nighters kill me haha
here is some more
i know someone is going to be like …So why didn’t you shave that lol bastards …so i did lol
more to come
after i have a nap 8P
…so why didnt you shave that before?
haha jk,i just wanted to be the first to say it, cause you said someone was gonna tell you.
take your time doing this project, cause its coming out beautiful
what kind of welding are you doing? is it basic stick welding? if so what kind of electrode you using?
isaac-ice
hahaha :excite:
yeah i have been ,the problem is i don’t really have the time haha
So i make time with lack of sleep
thanks for the kind words bud i appreciate it
as for the welder i,m useing a Hobart handler 140 with .025 wire and Stype tank of auto weld .its an argon mix
you can’t really do auto body welding with a stick welder .I have one and did my floor pans on my crx with it .there good for welding upwards with ,but its hard to not burn through on honda steel …as for the size i honestly can not remember what size i used …it was the smallest you can get something 64 haha
i really like welding with a stick if you havent welded before i suggest you learn on a stick first .any monkey can mig weld …Aslong as you have penatration your a welder with one haha …it takes a bit more with stick …
well thanks for looking now …:gtfo: haha just kidding
so i think your doing MIG…right? yeah im actually learning to weld, basic stick welding,e6010, e6013 and e7018.
i must admit, i take a look at this thread to see any progress on a daily basis
i don’t post to often on this site but i gotta say this is insane. in a good way
i just found this thread tonight about 4 hours ago and havn’t stopped until now good job i wish i could do what u have i might try to steal the water things on the roof from ya though :goyou: :goyou:
isaac-ice
yup i’m doing mig on the integra right on! thats the way to start .you’ll notice that mig is a peice of cake once you get good at stick
haha thanks bud glad you like the thread …i even got guys on honda-tech into it and there all JDM JDM MUST BE JDM !!! lol
doitpropa
thank you bud ,haha yeah giver i’m not the first to do it ,so your not really stealing from me .
well i’ll have a pic in a bit i think … i did a bit more work .i’m in the process of cleaning it up right now …this fiberglass jelly leaves a ton of pin holes .i might have to pick up some light weight if this keeps up .
well thanks for looking
mitch
shit i forgot to update this last night …sorry guys
i don’t like the curve ont he hatch .it looks funny to me .maybe its because it doesn’t have primer on it ont he curve i dunno just don’t like it
and have to fix the circle parts now … i went and sanded to much haha whoops … ,but its getting there slowly haha
and whats to come for this bitch !!!
there will be 2 2 new rings doubled up.some fabric alot of resin ,mat yeah this is going to be big haha
i have to pick up some MDF to cut the rings and the amp mount …I’m pretty sure i have MDF left from a old project that i can cut the rings from ,so should be able to have a skeleton to wrap soon .
this one will be a project that i’ll work on in between the other stuff … so i don’t have so much ass time haha
well stay tuned guys :rockon:
