ThomasW Posted December 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Found this gem on Facebook for a price i couldnt pass up ($60) and it was brand new, so that completes all the gauges I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasW Posted December 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Got the last bit of fiberglass work done on the splitter. Once the top/bottom surfaces were glassed, i routed out the foam between them and filled it with epoxy thickened with phenolic microballoons, i also put 2 layers of glass over it as well. Some of the imperfections also had the thickened epoxy applied as well since i had a fair amount of it left over. Currently im deciding if i should permanently bond the splitter to the bumper and eliminate the seam line or just keep it bolted/pop riveted in place.

ThomasW Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Well... if we can get 5-10 guys in on this i can do a group buy on them and likely get better pricing on them. I’ll go through today and figure out exactly what the price difference would be between 5 and 10. Selling then individually im thinking the price would be somewhere between $250-300+ shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasW Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 So pricing with a group of 5 would be $260, 10 would be $230, Individually will be $290 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasW Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Firewall panel is out of the mold. Where i expected problems to be are where they are. The contact adhesive and epoxy i used are well past there shelf life, so the epoxy hasnt cured completely and the contact adhesive didnt dissorb into the epoxy like it was supposed to. That is causing the surface to be sticky and have a dull appearance. With fresh materials and proper flow media placement, the surface finish should be perfect on the next one.
