diggertodd is that your truck in the last picture? Looks badass and the stance is right. Do you mind giving me the specs on your wheels and tires? I dropped my truck 4 and 6 and I think those would look good on it.

Wow you do some nice work

heavy71chevy · 03-07-2009, 10:26 PM

The gauge panels was something that had been on mind as well as the glove box door...hadnt thought about door panels but thats a good ideas..ill post some pics up as soon as I can dig them up

yes, Truck's is air ride bagged - 18" American's on nitto's, (though I'm dumping the Americans for the new rocket wheels.)

As a note to anyone considering clear carbon fiber,, there is a point (aesthetics) that it can get to be "too much", I have fabricated a couple of things that made the interior or engine compartment look like a circus. Also make sure you place the weave in the same direction of the other components, or you to get a train wreck in appearance.

Here is some of the carbon fiber stuff I have fabricated on my '70.

It all started with the so called "ricer" mirror I fabricated onto the side window vent...

I want a set of those mirrors ... what would you charge to make another set?
Send me a PM.

^ What the ?

heavy71chevy, those pics of that speaker enclosure and crossover case/cover are not yours!
at least the first 5 of those pictures belong to a very talented man in Eastern europe, I think he lives in Belgium. Those are picture of the sub enclosure and trunk set up for his BMW 323. his talent is incredible. btw- the pics he posted are WIP pics, the finished products is simply AMAZING!

The last picture, the trim around the aeromotive part, the pic looks familiar. I don't remember if it's the same guy who did it as the bmw, but I would wonder if it's your work or not. It might be yours, but for some reason I wonder....

This really irks me, as a fabricator , artist, moldmaker. I just can't stand when people take credit for others work. And if you were to post someone else's photos I think you should express in plain sight that the work is not yours, only an example of good CF work. If I do ever post something else, I expressly indicate it's not mine.

So do you have pics of your work?
the gauge cluster you were working on?

*b-rad* · 09-12-2009, 02:05 PM

so how did this turn out

*Shane* · 09-12-2009, 03:28 PM

looks like someone got busted for posting pics of $hit that wasn't his ...

big_al_71 · 09-12-2009, 03:37 PM

I dont think he is claiming he built that speaker enclosure I think he is showing what it looks like....just my .25 cents worth

OARNGESI · 09-12-2009, 03:43 PM

I think yhe issue wewe the other photos from the red truck

Did any 63-66 C10 carbon parts make it to the build table for purchase? My 65 C10 is being built as we speak for drag racing. Tubed, Dana, spool, cage, etc. my cousin Jerry is doing the build for me and collecting parts at deals for me thru all his connections over the years. He is building the nicest, fastest 55 Chevy I’ve ever had eyes on, and his wife’s 65 Nova (@ the same time) anyways, I’ve been looking for lightweight parts for the thing as it is all steel except the front fenders. Carbon is stronger than fiberglass I know but don’t look as cool when looked at with just a clear coat for sure. Interested in a: hood cowl or not (all my stuff is under hood) front and rear bumpers, cowl filler panel, door panels, etc. whatever is available so to speak. Searching is the hardest part

I really like what you've done with the door panelsl

Also, where did you find those armrests? I'm loving those!
