also wouldn't you be able to weld your mounts onto that body panel? hmm may hold better than epoxys or adhessive specially since those are almost always affected by heat and cold weather.
I considered welding, just didnt wanna risk distorting the fender with heat. they are very thin (.030"). I'm very familiar with this adhesive so I'm comfortable with the approach.
So my questions that been on my mind is, are you gonna just stop the fender where it’s at or are you gonna make something that’ll go over the rear bumper to flow down?
Gonna look exactly the way I imagined it bro! But you dont think its going to catch too much air and get bent out of shape if you leave the front fully open?
I really like what you do with Cad for the designs you make. I love playing with cad too, bro if only you had one of those 3d Scanners, you could scan the part of your car your working on and you can basically make anything!! and make it dead on. holy crap I wish I could model stuff for real cars LOL. I mostly use Fusion 360 to make custom RC semi truck stuff.
Just didnt wanna risk distorting the fenders with heat, they are very thin (.030). Also I use adhesives at my full time job daily, so I'm very comfortable with the approach.
I believe a few models Lotus cars are bonded with specific purpose polymers but you tig like you're writing the Constitution , why not consider tig the studs on the new fenders then affix them with spacers in between the two the fasten the inside the trunk and cabin. I will not fault you on your current course .
I didnt want to weld the studs to the fender to avoid distorting the metal from the heat, the fender is very thin and didnt wanna risk it. It's very light so I'm pretty confident in the adhesive approach.
I'm glad you're going with the hidden hardware look rather than having them exposed. Looking forward to the full install!
Yeah I think it will look much better 🙌
Just bought a 3v and was thinking of a turbo setup. Luckily found your channel lol you’re making a badass build!
Thanks man! Check out my full turbo install if you need help🤘
yeah his turbo install is pretty legit, almost cinematic
This is going to look very clean. Well thought out.
Thanks, looking forward to getting it finished 🤘
I just want to see how its gonna look already, one of the best 3v builds out there, keep it up man, great work.
Yeah I know, same here! Unfortunately I'm now at the mercy of the machine shop to get them made. Thanks a lot 🤘
I can’t believe you are this talented man, I know your whole fanbase can’t wait to see the next video!!!
Thanks so much, cant wait to get it done 🙌
Made some food and saw the vid came out, perfect timing. Can't wait for you to show us everything once its done. This is really amazing!
Thanks! Cant wait to get it finished, paint is here and ready to go!
i was waiting holy, so freaking exited to see next video ! i can't wait :'c
🙌🙌
Can’t wait to see this!
Cant wait to get it finished !
Can not wait until this baby is done!!😈
Same here! I already have the paint 🤘
Any plans to split the rear bumper and match it to the bottom of the overfender?
I haven't decided yet, I'll be evaluating it once this is done.
Was waiting for the upload!
🙌🙌

@@Kordare wow thats crazy thin, your def right about it like warping from the heat and such. I cant wait to see how it turns out!
@@skl1cent yeah body panels are super thin these days. Thanks for checking it out!
Fired up to see this in the flesh
Same here 🤘🤘
Can’t wait for the next vid!!!
Really want to know what way you’re going with that bumper
A lot better than some bolt on glass kits.
Thanks I agree!
I need to get an assortment of those studs.
They have them on mcmaster carr
What 3d program was that?
Pro/E Creo 5.0
Very ingenuous method you've cooked up! Could have gone the easy route but we all know that's not your style!
Thanks, taking my time and getting it done right 🤘
So my questions that been on my mind is, are you gonna just stop the fender where it’s at or are you gonna make something that’ll go over the rear bumper to flow down?
I'm just going to stop it there for now, see how I like it, maybe make some changes in the future
“Adhere straight to the metal.” 🤟
🤘🤘
Do you ever plan to bring this car to Pittsburgh I think it would look so cool in the city
Hmmm maybe someday
Incredible, what software do you use
Thanks! I use pro/E creo 5.0
Keep pushing man💯
You know it 🤘
Gonna look exactly the way I imagined it bro! But you dont think its going to catch too much air and get bent out of shape if you leave the front fully open?
No, it's definitely strong enough, I'm not too worried about it
@@Kordare awesome!!!
Sick bro!
Getting there!
New subscriber like your unique build. You should do some custom taillights. Would like to see what you can come up with.
Thanks! I'll be moving to rear bumper/ taillights most likely once this is done!

That's awesome, and yeah a 3d scanner would be great to have. Should start to be more feasible to get one soon, as prices drop.
why not weld the adhesion mount studs to the fender then you wouldn't have to worry about them coming off with vibration or gforce
Just didnt wanna risk distorting the fenders with heat, they are very thin (.030). Also I use adhesives at my full time job daily, so I'm very comfortable with the approach.
You are talented ash man 💪🏾 🔥
Appreciate it 🙏
Like ur tik tok man followed u on tik tok and subscribe love ur videos man keep up the good work
Appreciate the support man 🙏
I can't wait to see what it looks like in the end. How are you going to paint the fenders. That green is nasty.
Hah I agree, I'll be painting them to match the car

I definitely considered welding them. I'm just worried about distorting the fender from heat, they are very thin (~.030 ) so I didn't wanna risk it.
Love ur videos
Appreciate the support 🤘
This is going to be MINT!!!🤘🔥🔥
🙌🙌
Are u selling this design
I am not, sorry
Please make and sell the mounts so I can do the same !!
Hmmm maybe if there is enough interest 🤔
I would just epoxy everything
Well I want it all to be removable in case I change wheels/tires etc.
Kordare Did you think about using maybe Zeus fasteners
@@joemartin8651 I didnt for this project but might use them for some other things I have in mind.
Why not weld the car to the mounts, then bolts those welded bolts? It would give you more piece of mine than adhesive
I didnt want to weld the studs to the fender to avoid distorting the metal from the heat, the fender is very thin and didnt wanna risk it. It's very light so I'm pretty confident in the adhesive approach.
@@Kordare fair enough
You went to ITT TECH
hahah nope
Kordare what drafting and design school you go to then
@@magicrodriguez7758 I didnt, I have a bachelor's in mechanical engineering and work in product design.
Kordare 😮 wow what made you get into cars? And what’s the next build gonna be? 🧐
@@magicrodriguez7758 just always liked cars! And I dont know yet. But something interesting
A sándwich is just a salad with huge croutons
I disagree
You need to invest into a 3d printer!
We have a few at my work so I dont have much need for one right now. But yeah I use 3d printing daily.
