This is how you use spray foam
 

Sick of your 911 looking like a beetle? Fix it:

English Russia » Lithuanians and PU-foam

Impressive and scary at the same time.

The blue stuff is the more expensive "closed-cell".
Very hard to the touch, but not bondo-hard. I was told they insulate airliners and industrial structural items with it. Much like thick soft plastic. 3M is getting into that game, and the "R-value" standards will be changed to "air exchange".

The yellow stuff is the cheaper "open cell".
Relatively soft, and quazi-breathable in terms of moisture exchange(over a long period of time).

I saw that exact same car two weeks ago in Riga, but I had no time to get the camera out..

It may not be to your taste but that is the sickest thing I've seen in a long time.

Absolutely amazing. The dashboard looked especially challenging.

Well done... :)

The website is twice as good if you're thinking of the kind of music they play in Borat while looking at the pictures.

Do they glass it like a surfboard ?

Damn, that guy is truly an artist!

I saw a much smaller scale of this on a canard pusher aircraft engine crowling modification.

Mixed results on my hovercraft, over time it just absorbed too much moisture out of the air.

Opulence...I has it.

Maxim, is that you?

:D

I bet it is pretty quite...and warm.

Interesting that there are no pix between that last one of him working on the interior and the finished product. I guess I don't doubt he did it... just curious about the big jump.

Is that stuff flammable? I bet it is. Heh heh. It would be fun to make it go up in a huge cloud of black smoke by holding a lighter to one of the wheel openings for 20 seconds.

Guessing you mean quiet...

I wonder if there are pieces of cardboard inside the car; or is it removed?

By the look of the pix, I doubt if it's removed. This guy doesn't care about anything but the final result.

Edit -- Wait... on a second look, the use of cardboard in the interior shots seems to be just to hold the foam in place to keep it from sagging until it hardens so he can surform it.

I wonder if any of his buddies walk up to it with a pencil and pretend like they're gonna stab it. :)

That guy has alot of time and work into it. Might not be my taste, but I would have to give him props for the final product. I dont think I could do that.

fwiw, expanding foam is a great way to do "quick and dirty" patches on rusty cars. Just smash in the rust, fill with spray foam, carve up with a knife, and skim coat over with tiger hair. I have seen whole cab corners, and complete rocker panels made out of the stuff. It fills the cavity completely so it will help deter moisture intrusion, and will actually hold up pretty good for a couple of years.

How big is that back wheel? :eek:

What a nice fur coat..., just like the one my grandma had. :)

Anyone else wondering what kind of rigidity that structure has in it? I'm kind of curious what would happen if it took a couple of hard corners.
