god damn this work is amazing.
can we pm you to do some work for us if we like?
If i had an idea for a custom grill (simple design), and i sent you a grill frame and all the parameters, would that be possible?

Btw what time of material is this? I see you put that white thing to cover the wholes, etc.

Fleece...he mentioned in one of the posts. PS, I'm honored you mentioned me in your creation of this thread. You are a very skilled and talented dude...I'd hate to see you work for anyone but yourself. Being self taught like this should make nobody money but yourself.

I'll make a pit stop one of these days for round two of my apprenticeship

I would sell my brain, as long as I am given a brain in return. Then I will use that brain and reteach myself everything, meaning that anyone can do this =) and yes it is fleece, ponte may work better, never used it, but it stretches easier.

Customer came to me in need of a RARE Molding off her car (won't say the car, not sure if it is a secret) that she cannot find anywhere. I didn't promise her anything because I had no clue how to do it or if I could even attempting do a molding, because I knew nothing about it a week ago, but a special thanks goes out to the fiberglass forums, I picked up some great pointers, and hey...youtube worked as well!
I had practiced on a couple small trim pieces of my own, then I was ready to give this a shot, it worked out very well since the sheetmetal acted as the flanging.
I will let the pictures do the talking. The final piece needs to be shortened to fit the driver's side fender, I took a mold of the passenger's rear quarter panel trim panel since they are identical in shape, just longer. Once the car rolls in this week I will be able to trim it down to reach its final destination, then the shop that painted her car will finish painting these.

Wow, you have been working, you lost weight! Good job!
PS...I wouldn't mind coming by and just shooting the sh*t, or give you a hand with anything you're working on. Wasn't just there to soak up your knowledge and trials and tribulations, I actually enjoy being around anything and everything automotive.

haha yes! that sounds like a good idea!
actually if you come over my house and see my mini fridge you will find a liter sized water bottle and a full array of soda that hasnt been drank since you came over last. I have been real good about not drinking the soda. I maybe have one soda every week or so.

Well, my uncle got a kidney stone over the weekend...he says worst pain he's ever endured and he says it's attributed to drinking a lot of soda lately. So...you know, keep on keeping on!
Went to my buddy's house on 186th today for the Giants game...should have swung by!
Hope you're good man!

^ I doubt anyone is going to gain your skill set by watching a 15 min video. Seems more like showcasing your work... which is fine as you do great work... but if you want to teach you may want to open a shop and charge folks to learn. Otherwise, just seems like advertising to me...
And don't worry, there are several different ways to search which will yield the proper results should someone be looking for that vid. But given the title and intent of this thread, pretty much anything you post can go in here. Keeps it clean and all in one spot. Once someone is in the thread, they can even search within the thread itself... so nothing should get lost...
