So you think VOLTEX tripple oversize canards are hot? Well wait till u see...

Just got the bumper/undertray back last night from the bodyshop...undertray was damaged during shipping and cracked even more on a test drive ...and so far I had to eat the damage costs still investigating...thats another story.

Anyways... been up all night working on a new project, not finished but here's an idea of whats to come!

My projects:
***Oversized dual canards...my design...no copy cats...connect to the bumper and lower splitter

***Intake headlights (now carbon)
***bumper cover ducts for VOLTEX bumper which allows me to run with the AMS brake cooling ducts and get more cooling
*** Classified
*** Classified
***carbon floor racing mats for stripped interior race cars

Everything is carbon fiber
I make the prototype then the mold then vacuum bag...not going to show you everthing...its classified!


Pics of the canard setup Im working on...finish up tonight, then make the molds


Anyways enough chit chat... here is something what they will look like

It takes to long to create the prototypes...molds are fast after you get the piece perfected...vacuum bagging the carbon is fast

plus Im not a vendor.. dont want to be...cant mass prduce... evom is impatient... I am impatient...and if I sell more than about three the mods beat you up... LOL

so the best I can do is take my time create and make some pieces for my ride

Most parts look like crap at the beginning but you put the work in (cutting , smoothing, filling , adding more material, and final sanding and smoothing)...your finished product can look better the the big companies

Thank Noc,
You must of missed my partout thread, sold everything (except the car)

Not running this year (again)

just doing some HPDE and things keep breaking, so focussing on proper builds.. i.e engine setup and drivetrain

Plus since I retired this year...Ive been taking alot of classes...so Im learning a few fabrication tricks

*Aircraft sheetmetal fabrication (3 more months and I'll be certified)
and
*Composites and plastics


Plus... also saving my money for something called a GTRrrrrrrrrrr
