Eug Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 or you can alertnatively go for a stealth wing... either way let us know how it goes... if its 300 like you said, they both would roughly be around the same price.

funkymonkey Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 i made a flat bootlid a while ago (not for an R33 though) using space filler, wood and fibreglass. What you do is you make a wood lattice (2 pieces of wood crossed over 2 pieces, with one piece on the end where the back of the boot is. _|_|_ _|_|_ like so. The wood pieces are of the correct size so they sit JUST under the line of the bootlid you want. Then you fill in the squares with space filler... don't get the rubbery ones that are hard to shape. I prefer to use the poly-ethelene type ones which set to a hard foam. Prior to doing all this you'll want to protect your back of the car with plastic sheets. Then you get a snader and shape the foam to a nice smooth back, then lay fibreglass on it and optionally gelcoat it. This is your plug. you then make a mould using the plug, doing exactly the same thing but in reverse. And then you just make as many fibreglass flat bootlids as you want. So get cracking... it'll cost you maybe $150 in materials. And once you have amould you can make em for everyone lol.

Trust33 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 gee thanks that was helpfull in a way....lol....I did think that the part about the foam filler was interesing though...Maybe going down this road to fill in the holes then just bog and smooth untill the desired effect is reached is the way to go...... The funny thing is ive seen it done b4 and i now wished that i asked how it was done. Other people in the past say that they welded plates into place then,bog and smooth untill the desired effect is reached is the way to go......The only thing wrong is it has never been said how 2 weld the plates.Im supposing some real thin stainless over the top of the holes then bog and smooth. Even bog straight in the holes would be an option but a heavier 1 than foam filling.And foam filler i heard goes weird after a while Would it also be safe to bog over the top of knowing that the foam could loose it's integrity leaving a really thin layer of bog? fiberglass,ummm,dont they only come in sheets?Would they be plyable enuff to stuff in the holes,let set, then bog and smooth etc.. like the other 2 possible end finishes.
