Like Sass said, if you can't figure it out from those detailed pictures, it is a project that is over your head.................nothing against Yuli................just saying those are as detailed as you can get as far as pictures................

Wow you dont grasp the concept that perhaps some ppl need words to assist. Nothing is impossible. And not everyone is as experienced in fibreglass and everything else related as you are Tim.

I'm simply pointing out Yuli's point.

Generally he was looking for words. Obviously he wants another source if he asked a second time.

If a person can't get the idea from those detailed pictures they should just screw some 2x4's to their car and paint them to match....................... [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Yuli asked specifically for a step by step guide and/or detailed WORDS of how, pictures are great but they don't completely help one who perhaps hasn't even touched fibreglass before. [/QUOTE]If you really have to ask HOW in a step by step process, you shouldn't be doing it in the first place. Escpecially after those pics. Maybe there is a "fiberglass for dummies" book out there somewhere. [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img]

I do grasp the concept my dear, what me and Sass are saying is if you can't grasp the concept of glassing, and those pictures don't help, then you need to learn to fiberglass before you try something like that......................................even if there were a page of words for every picture, if you can't fiberglass what is the point....................I can read how to sew a dress from the words and the picture and it would end up being a oven mit.............I know this because I don't sew............

That is my point.............

Ok ur point is very true and good, however he still wishes to see other sources.

Just like buying something expensive most people prefer to shop around for the best.

ok there is no need to be rude towards Blind or have smart *** remarks towards me. all i asked for was a step by step guide that shows as to how manufacture the peices of a body kit. that site shows nothing like that. not a single pic of a peice was made, just how it was put together.

i will probably have better luck asking this on a rice forum, there are just too many ignorant ****s on this one to produce a usefully and mature response to a simple question like this.

Umm, it shows how it was made. And it is basically the same process for simpler kits. They start out with blocks of foam, and temporarily glue them to the car. Then they shape the foam to the desired shaoe, and fiberglass over the foam for the final piece. It doesn't get any more clear than that.

I am searching for a better tutarial now, but doubt that I will find what you are looking for. Most body kit manufacturers don't post how to's for some reason.

There is another nice body kit that takes an old Mercedes 560 and turns it into an SLR!

If you can't figure it out from the first set of pics with my brief explanation I suggest you watch the Rides episode that shows the making of a body kit, or whip out the credit card and go to http://www.wingswest.com/
