Aye your YoungStatic on YouTube right? I'm TheScrewable i have been following this build on YouTube for a while, I really like what you have done and that lip will look great when it is done.
this was done over a period of time (well monday to now)
here i foamed it up and forgetting that foam expands and it messed up my structure a bit from top and bottom. started shaping it though.
the next day, when i woke i find my spoiler mangled. by mangled, i mean instead it being straight out the back it curved up like a duckbill. more like worse than that. but here you can see i sliced the top of wing to be able to bend the curve back to straight like its suppose too. also the wires thats holding it down while i finish shaping it a bit.
here i laid down 1 layer of fiberglass to keep it from getting mangled again the next morning.
now that the wing is sturdy, i started foaming the areas that were like pot holes so i dont have to keep filling in with fiberglass to get it to be straight. this was done today 8/11
thanks fellas. its like 3:30 right now and i was just finishing up the shaping in my room. heres what i ended up with and tomorrow hopefully fiber glass it.
edges doesnt look clean but i will take a rotary sander to it and make it all smooth and such. i did this wing a bit different than the actual chargespeed because the car is a rectangle/square shape and i want to keep that concept.
heres what i did today. i used a 60grits rotary sander to sand off the rest of the poking fiber glass to make it smooth for the next layer. camera died and didnt really take pictures of the process but heres a picture of the 2nd layer of fiber glass being laid down according to the lines to make that shape that i want. im getting really excited haha! where the HELL can i find gelcoat???
todays progress. i sanded down the wing and got it as smooth as i could. then i laid down bondo before it got late. as far as i see it, its seems to be pretty straight. tomorrow i will sand it down and lay down another layer of bondo.
this wing is a bit heavy to my feel because this is the 1st/prototype. it has the chicken wires/foam/layers of fiberglass/bondo on it. if i can get a good amount of people interested in the wing after its perfection, i will produce a quantity of it and sell/ship it out. IF i can figure out where i can get gelcoat for the mold :P
Wow, I was having doubts with the weight and all, but really good first try. I saw in the previous pictures the arches weren't the same but maybe I judged too early. From the looks of the last image the wing is coming out very good. Great work!
I have to admit that when I first saw this wing in its early stages I was skeptical about the final outcome. You have made a believer out of me and if you decide to produce a finalized version after making the mold, you can count me in for two (if the price is reasonable )
mrb88: thanks! im getting more and more excited the more i work on it. seeing that its taking shape gives me motivation to finish it.
ogwagon: i was too. i was wondering how the hell am i going to get this to sit straight when i glass it. then foam came to mind and i did that. then it fucked it all up cause i forgot (some how) that it expands. it messed up the structure which almost caused me to abandon the project but i wanted to be the "1st" to rock a chargespeed style wing. so i took on the challenge and try to get its form back which i did.
if you are interested in the wing, please pm as i already laid out my plans with this wing to be reproduced. this goes to anyone else whose interested! i think my price is reasonable.
i had a drunk person come up to me and tell me my wing is lifted on one side that the other. if my cousin noticed that, its something i have to fix. which today i did. like i said, im getting more excited the more i see the shape forming that way its suppose to look.
here you can see the end of the wing isnt straight. it curves in towards the driver side
here you can see its shaped how i want it.
and here its pointed up with a corner..kinda hard to tell.
not really noticeable but it bugs me knowing its there.
here i sanded it down to find high and low spots.
you can see here that the edge before it folds down is way off and is a huge low spot.
its all fixed now and i didnt take any pictures of it. more work will be put into it tomorrow. again i mentioned i didnt care how much this weigh because its a prototype to get it looking how its suppose to before the reproduction begins.

i'm impressed.
you've turned out a nice wagon, while doing most/all the work yourself.
jdogg: yes im youngstatic from youtube.

heres the progress on the wing. the layers of fiber glass are done. now its time to sand down before i lay down bondo.
now where to find gelcoat...

this part has a flap that goes over the molding

You can not sell outside of the marketplace, and if you decide to sell these wings on this forum then you need to get in touch with an admin.
