composite rear fuse panel covers
 
We are already shipping the steering shaft covers and coupe/sunroof roof skins in fiberglass and carbon fiber, we have the targa top and body braces in the works and this will be our next project - real fuse panel covers. This is just a teaser but here is the finished plug ready for the mold to be made.

If all goes well we should have a prototype or two ready to go late next week. Stay tuned...

kinda thought you would want one my friend.... :)

Thanks for posting Kris,

that's actually the tool itself. It was pulled off of the model yesterday.

We should have the first part out mid next week.

that's what i get for posting first thing in the morning after a long night of poker tournaments and drinking :)

nineball, I assume a good time was had by all...

on another note, looks like late next week came early.

The first proto just got pulled from the mold. Here it is in all of it's un-trimmed glory.

Tdoc, can we see a picture of the raw fiberglass unit, thanks.

Very nice! Price yet?

toddc 03-02-2013 03:20 PM

i'll post some pics tomorrow when I'm back in the shop.

For pricing, I thought Kris already posted it, I may be wrong. Either way, we'll let you know soon.
