I will add the carbon roof into my refresh menu.I am looking forward to next video and completion of your 997turbo restoration.

The best way to perfect silicone lines to make them smooth with your finger is to spray them lightly with denatured alchohol and quickly start spreading! Also I love the vibes you guys have throughout the shop / videos and I'd imagine yalls days don't feel like work!

You guyes are really impressive, and super inspiring. I really love your idea of making cash, where you in the same time are making sure that everything from from the engine and drivetrain, to basically everything else that's usable on a car, is being used. Such a shame I'm so far away. I would really appreciate a visit to your shop and see "live" if you will, what you're doing, and of course see some of the inventory you gott. Love your videos by the way 😊😊😊 Best regards from a Norwegian owned Tor-Red 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8, with 3 000 miles, and super prestine conditions.

@cdmc012599 Год назад

Next time you gotta run a bead of silicone, get a wet rag, make sure your finger is wet , don't press hard as soon as it starts to build up stop and wipe your finger on the wet rag. This gets your finger wet for the next pull. You can also feel the silicone start to drag when your finger starts to dry. Normally you can get about 4 to 6 inches out of each pull. Haven't looked at the comments, if I'm repeating someone ignore this comment.

I think you got a bit carried away with the amount of rivets you used. Each one of those rivets is a possible area for water to leak. This was a great upgrade and I applaud you for taking this on and doing a great job.

@scraplifegarage 2 года назад

They’re closed end blind rivets so I’m thinking covering the head with 5200, in addition to what I’ve already done will take care of it!

@mikedodd9294 2 года назад

3m 5200 is insane stuff. When they say permanent they aren't kidding. Used it on my boat. 4200 works well for stuff that might need to be removed. For just sealing that gutter I think 4200 would have been better. At least some scrap yard in the future can save the roof with 4200. I've tried air chisels, nothing will remove that stuff, even the chemicals used to remove the stuff doesn't work.

@matthewwain9958 Год назад

JBWeld Plastic Bond is incredible stuff. Highly recommended. I have bonded on entire bumpers using it, and use it in my 3D Prints. It is extremely good stuff. Are you worried at all that the rivets will leak? (Thought you would put sealant over the top of them).

@slopetechno 2 года назад

Thank you so much for sharing this walkthrough of what could be a very scary job! Unless I missed it, I don't see the way you reattached the gutters. Are they (or could they be) reattached in a way where the roof rack mounts are still trustworthy? I'm in a very small demographic who wants both a carbon roof and a roof rack.

@scraplifegarage 2 года назад

The gutter clips slide right in! I haven’t done it because I need to paint the car but they fit just like stock. There is absolutely no reason you can’t also reuse the roof rack hardware either.
