Since the shell is on, it is time to tackle flaring the fenders. With the Tesla motor being wider than the kit design, something has to be done to the fiberglass fenders. I end up making the "Widebody Kit" from tape. This is a true budget widebody build.

@CrazyCowboyBuilds Год назад

Nice work brother. Next time maybe tape the car and fill your void with expanding foam then shape it the next day. Also try using metal duct tape and waxing it with mold release instead of masking tape. The fiberglass will pop right off the tape and the surface will be smoother with metal tape over your shaped foam (less bodywork and weight). You can remove the foam after or leave it if you seal it in. Just some ideas. You got the job done though so bravo!

@ElectricSuperCar Год назад

Thanks for the suggestion!

@robhorring1 3 года назад

Great project look forward to your progress every week. I am in the process of building a Manx style beach buggy. I have the same issue but with my front guards not covering my tires I plan on cutting my fiberglass body down the middle and prying it open and glassing in a strip about 150mm wide thus doing away with all the fender flaring and re shaping. I don't know how your body attaches to the chassis but you would just have to cut your body down the center of your rear end and trunk and each side on the out side of your head rests. Then just glass in new strips. I have glassed in some tubes across the center line which I have rods that fit in perfectly so when i cut the body down the center. I put the rods in and the body will stay aligned when opened up. Good luck form Covid free NZ.

@ElectricSuperCar 3 года назад

Such a good idea! For me the smallest wheels that go on the Tesla are 19" and I was going to have to open up the wheel wells/fenders anyway. NZ so beautiful, I will have to come out and visit some day 😎

@thomasnoteboom1531 4 месяца назад

After you get the tape right, put spray foam behind it, help support the fiberglass

@ElectricSuperCar 4 месяца назад

@michaelleung3449 3 года назад

Good Job, now the challenge is to make one to match on the other side... Maybe easier to buy a kit and modify from them, that way you have 2 identical base to work with, and easier to match them.

Love the build. Watched all your videos and they are very inspiring! I'm in the middle of building a custom tube chassis car with an ol v12. Eventually hoping to design a front end inspired by the k1. If its not too much trouble for you any dimensions of the front clamshell especially the mouth of the car you could provide would be beyond life saving! Keep up the good work!!

I remember seeing a guy do his whole wide body out of clay. Like he slapped clay on his car and then sanded that stuff down and made a mold for it using the dried clay. Tape sounds like a cheaper and more efficient way tbh.

@ElectricSuperCar 2 года назад

Thanks for the comment!

@johncartelli 2 года назад

yrs ago, when I made some fenders for a glass body car I used duct tape over pink insulation board. I made the fender out of the foam board first , got it to fit the body, then covered it with the duct tape. The polyester resin wont stick to the tape. however the resin will attack the glue of the tape so you need to be careful when applying the fiberglass not to get it under the tape.

@ElectricSuperCar 2 года назад

@davidp8157 3 года назад

You could modify your addition to closer follow the original body at this point, would possibly look better overall. For someone with no experience at this , you are going great. Take measurements of everything every step. If you leave all measuring till finished, when you do the otherside it will be more difficult to get an exact match as your transition points will all be slightly off as you will be measuring the finished piece rather than your starting points. Anything can be adjusted or fixed, but this will save a lot of time and work, looking good. Cheers

@JamesLarson47 3 года назад

Your custom widebody kit is cool and all but it's going to result in your car not being road legal. That tail light wrapped around to the side to that the red rear reflector could be seen on the side of the car. To be road legal in every state, there needs to be a red reflector on both sides of the car in the rear and yellow reflector on both sides in the front of the car. That's why most head lights and tail lights wrap around to the sides of the car now days.

@ElectricSuperCar 3 года назад

R.J. Thanks for the comment! You might be right. The kit doesn't really have wrap around lights. s.yimg.com/os/en-US/cms/autos/Boldride/k1-attack-supercar-2.jpg I don't think I covered anything up from the side but I will have to do some checking to see what I need to do to get it legal. 👍

@ajzride 3 года назад

Many kit cars do not have wrap around tail lights. A separate reflector can be added for states that require them.
