That's what I've been telling people. That front corner does not cooperate. Only way to do it is weld it, or have it stamped out. And I'm not doing either.

and not to mention that that is just a flat hood with no cowl/scoop! if you come up with a way to do it it will be pricy and time consuming im sure!

CarterFab · 02-09-2012, 09:05 PM

Yup. And the whole time consuming part doesn't pay out with rc parts like it does with 1:1. I can't charge $80 per hour doing metal fab for the toys. And if I could, I would feel guilty. Hence why I steer away from doing tube work and things of that nature. Only when something excites me, then I'll take it on. This is just a hobby job for me, not depending on this for income.

All orders from last week will be shipped out by Wednesday. Finally getting caught up. Thanks again for the support. My customers are truly the best.
Finishing up a large order for a store then taking some time off from the larger panels. Want to get the inner fenders going and get things reorganized as well as tackle some personal projects that have been getting neglected.
Knowing me I won't be out for longer than a week.
Thanks to all
Clay

Hey Clay,
No apologies needed. I'm sure I speak for all when I say that we thank you for the excellance of your product and support of the hobby! Craftsman of your quality are hard to find these days. Thank you again. Ron
PS Just got confirmation, plus tracking number this morning (Tuesday!!)

drywallguy · 02-14-2012, 04:35 PM

Thanks! The panels are Sweet!!
I liked your hood but it really is a 'why bother' if you have someone cranking them out and selling them on the bay for $16 shipped. Doesn't seem worth while.

CarterFab · 02-14-2012, 08:42 PM

Rear inner fenders template is done. First set is going out tomorrow. Will be waiting in feedback. Have material on order.

i really like those... are you going to be doing some for the front? and if i do the rear upper with those seal off to keep mud in the fender area?

PM sent for quote also...

CarterFab · 02-20-2012, 03:13 PM

Pm sent^

I haven't really checked on the sealing off but it should keep all the big stuff out. Not water tight. I have only sent out the first set. The top cover sits flat on the tube work and the rear inners run in between the tube rails, so it should be pretty sealed up as far as mud goes.
I am making front inner fender that work with my sides only. They can be used with any side but you won't get the full effect without the fender wraparound that I do on the sides. They also keep all the big stuff from getting up in the vitals.
Thanks
Clay

Well just when I thought I had finally made every combination of panel out there, along came another request. Biggest pain to make, but in my opinion the coolest so far. Would be killer on a KOH build and a graphic artist dream to wrap. I dub thee Spartan. Reminds of a warriors helmet.

AndrewH · 02-22-2012, 04:57 PM

What would you charge for the spartan and a hood? Possible discount for an order of 2 of each?
