Coupe spoiler

[RichV]

tell you what guys, since I am holding off on the pace car 3-piece front air dam, I would be glad to proceed with tooling a bolt on fiberglass OEM quality ductail for coupes and convertibles. I know I could get costs well below $400.

That would be sweet! I'd be happy to pimp a name or web addy for you on the side of the race car! How long do you think it would take to get one done? Any idea on cost?

[Jax Rhapsody]

I'm trying to think of a way to reinforce it. it looks way better than the lugguage rack number that they usually have. Looks good and I dont even like notchbacks

I'd definitely be interested in one. JunkyGT's is coming out great so far.

Tim,
Is the ole girl running yet? Been a while since I talked to you!

I dig the DIY effort!

I think it looks sweet so far. Subtle & simple yet adds just the right amount of "flair".

I took the easy route with a Dodge Aries K I had as a beater for awhile. I simply mounted a 3 Gen camaro wing to the trunk!

Small pic, its the only one I have here at work.

The ductail would look great if you can give it an OEM look where it follows the lines. I think the laid back angle and height look great. John

That is important to me. I want it to look like it belongs there, not just something that's just thrown on. I've got the fiberglass laid on the spoiler, I had to use an epoxy resin instead of the regular polyester stuff because it eats this type of foam (good thing I tried a test piece first!). I'd post a pic but the wife's out w/friends & took the camera. Thanks for everyone's support!

JohnnyGMachine, you gotta post pics when you get a prototype done!

Any more progress with this project?

can ya post pics of her friends just kidding

BTW how is it going to attach ?

[junkyGT]

The spoiler is going to have threaded inserts in it, with bolts going through the decklid.

[Jax Rhapsody]

I was thinking embeding something into the spoiler like a piece of angle iron or something with bolts welded to it.

[Naja]

I can suggest aluminun angle, it's strong and lightweight, we'd used it here to reinforce wings and spoilers several times... you can use it, drill it,
put the bolts, and then build the structure over it

[86GT2go]

Agreed Naja...that is how I did my 99+ hoodscoop to my 83 hood. Went into the backshop, grabbed some .062" angle aluminum, drilled it, riveted some capnuts to it, glassed them to the inside of the scoop, drilled the hood, and bolted her down (sometimes working in aviation has some benefit!).

That would be better, I just named some sort of angled metal, maybe with pieces welded to it to help structural integrity.

I'm just impressed with the workmanship.

I wouldnt be able to do that in 100 years.

[JohnnyGMachine]

See this is what real hot rodding is all about. Guys tired of waiting for somebody to make something that would look and work great for a car and it never happens. So instead of waiting you roll up the sleeves, head out to the garage and start makin' the stuff you want. This is how you see stuff on a car at a show and go "WHOA!!!!" what's THAT! I can't wait to see it. I think he's doing an incredible job with the proportions and shape so far.

[Naja]

I can tell... I've never found the wing I've wanted, so, we've built it:

[junkyGT]

Well, hopefully I can get back on the thing this weekend. Different things keep coming up & I haven't been able to spend the time on it I wanted to.

[allgosvo]

any update?...................paul

[junkyGT]

I took it to work so I could get it done on my breaks. I'll get some pics up this week.

[gdniel]

I forgot all about this.

[86GTmustang]

I like it looks great. the blue one looks like a GN a little

[mustang4life1985]

I can't say I ever liked a spoiler on a coupe, but yours looks interesting so far

I agree. I can't wait to see it when it's done. Nice job!

[myler]

I forgot too glad this got resurrected. Where are the pics!?

[junkyGT]

Well it seems after an endless number of family crises I finally have time to work on this thing. I've laid four layers of mat and put a little filler on the top side. Hopefully I can finish it up tomorrow & get some primer shot on it next week. I'm working in my backyard because I didn't want to mess up my garage again .



I'm not going to mess with the corners until I bolt it on the car, that way I can match it up to the body contour.

[allgosvo]

junky-thanks for the update.the progress looks promising..........paul

[mustangtim]

Awesome. Let me know when you're taking orders.
