osv progress pics

[bdyman]

here are some pics of the osv kit, on scots car(oldsmans) alero, we started preping the front bumper, and like any aftermarket fiberglass kit on the market, it does have some flaws but nothing that cant be fixed

the quality is dead on, surpasses aed, and aas kit, and it fits, it does not have the BUMP at the headlights, and the rocker moldings iam going to have to stretch to make them fit,

but anywho on to the pics, you flame me i flame back with a bigger stronger fire, enjoy!

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

I can't wait to see the finished product. I have no room to flame cause I don't know the slightest thing about body work other than how to mask stuff.

[bdyman]

no no i meant flaming about the quality i was refering too

[Oldsman]

lot of sanding but the end product will be worth it

[mfuller]

Well Chris, I figured if anyone could address the shortcomings of this, you could. Looking forward to updates as they come.

[bdyman]

it really is a great kit, i tip my hat to bodykits.org for making a kit from pictures

[Oldsman]

realy the biggest issue with the kit is the side skirts but they will be fixed

[Cliff8928]

Good... You can get some practice on this before mine gets done :ninja:

[black00gt1]

looking good,summitracing :) there 45 minutes from my house :)

[cherrington17]

so... you going to use the sideskirts that were both lefts?


looks decent so far (but honestly... its the same thing we've seen for a while, just in a different location)

..that being said, i can't wait to see this progress.

[paulyb]

looks good so far.......your the man at this stuff so im sure it will be perfect when its done.

[lonnie]

My question is on the structural integrity. Will this kit break? It looks pretty thin in the pics. How are you guys attaching this to the car? When you say allot of sanding does this mean that the kit is fine other then having the same side skirts? What is the recommendation..hold off on getting one until the kinks are worked out or get one now hopefully they will send both side skirts now, and have to do allot of sanding?

sanding is required in all new kits

[lonnie]

What I mean is this something that should be left to a body shop to do, or can a DYI guy get this to where it needs to be?

yes they have to lengthen and the reshaped but it can be done. Now for an idea to have this all done would probably cost you around $600 in just body work. So the sooner bodykits get these fixed the cheaper for everyone else and less hair removal(pulling your hair out) because of it.

the bumpers will be bolted on and the side skirts after all the work of legthening and reshaping and getting rid of that damn notch they will be attached by screws and we will also use the factory clips also, which will require a lot of work.

I recommend holding off until the kinks are worked out. Because the body work alone on the skirt will be around $600 and then the body work on the rear bumper will be high also.

The reason for a lot of sanding is due to the gel coat being so thick that it is hiding some of the lines and shape. But for 99% of you it is fine how it is on the gel coat thickness. I am anal and know the kit and the OSV too well and I am making a replica. So I am being picky and isn't really necessary.

You mentioned about the structural integrity, I'll let chris answer this due to he has a lot of experience with other bodykits out there from aed, ass, wings west, etc.

[knuckleballer32]

Looks good man. I can't wait to see how it's going to look when you are done.

[black00gt1]

i had a few issues with both my aed kits not real bad just took alil extra time to do it the right way

Dude BE picky! I want your best at perfecting this kit. Got a question bodymans now helping you guys make sure everything is on track with the body kit?

[billytheman1188]

so you have the whole kit bdyman? are you fixing problems that it has and painting it? or are you just doing the front bumper cover?

[Oldsman]

Dude BE picky! I want your best at perfecting this kit. Got a question bodymans now helping you guys make sure everything is on track with the body kit?

No bdyman is giving me a hand on my kit in order to get it fixed.

[Oldsman]

Billy it is my kit for my car. bdyman is giving me a hand in order to get the kit the way I want it.

[billytheman1188]

ahhh ok.....so the old man is fixing up the kit. Nice:coolio:

[bdyman]

yes iam doing the body work and painting the kit, i just started with the easier of the kit which was the front bumper, the kit is not thin at all you can see through it due to the gell coat has been sanded off

on all aftermarket kits the gel coat should be sanded down and the kit shaped and any imperfection fixed, pinholes, waves, what have you, primed, sanded and then 1 final coat of primer

its a fiberglass kit, if you ever got into an accident it will crack upon impact, its what is beneath the bumper that protects you, like i said the quality surpass the aed and aas kit, this kit does not have the HUMP by the headlights, which i was amazed at that,

the rocker moldings will have to be cut reshaped re glassed the whole shabang, the rear bumper well it is going to take allot of work to get it to fit and look right

i will be using PPG dbc system, it will be ppg from start to finish
either me of scot will post updated pics as we go along

[cherrington17]

so.. you do body work and paint... or do you have a guy you work with who paints?
(i don't mean that in a condesending way.. i just thought you were strictly body work tech)

either way... i can't wait to see this thing in june.

[hok666]

yes iam doing the body work and painting the kit, i just started with the easier of the kit which was the front bumper, the kit is not thin at all you can see through it due to the gell coat has been sanded off


To be honest Im glad your helping us.. Keep us posted..

[bdyman]

yes iam a body man/painter/ fabricator, mechanic, i do everything
my favorite thing is painting i love painting
and yes i will keep this thread updated as we go along

[El Pablo]

Looks awesome.

[tw0123]

I thought that Bodykits.com was fixing the issues and replacing the parts that they messed up. How come you are not waiting for them to get it fixed by the people who screwed up in the first place. I understand that bdyman is probably the best at all of this, so... is there anyway he can create a proper mold from this kit to either replicate or to sell to other members?

[Oldsman]

I am going to find out from bodykits on the status of the replacement parts that need to be fixed and i am hopeful that they will get me those parts in enough time to be painted and fitted before ASS but I am thinking worse case. that is why I have bdyman giving me a hand on this kit.

well back to sanding............

[kwhauck]

make sure you wear a mask!! we don't want some old men hacking prematurely!!!

[bdyman]

the first night i forgot my respirator and the next day my chect hurt all day, i now remember my mask, and i return on tuesday night to hopefull have the bumper in primer soon

[Oldsman]

make sure you wear a mask!! we don't want some old men hacking prematurely!!!

no worries..............had my mask.........but i turned into some green guy...lol

[Silentalero]

no worries..............had my mask.........but i turned into some green guy...lol

[dragon8807]

[Golden Alero]

That's going to look so nice when finished. bdyman do u work only on aleros? =p like if i get a bodykit for a vibe could u help me put it on etc?

[Gr1m]

bdyman can do any custom fabbing work to any car, thats the great thing about being an experienced bodyworker. anyway, the front looks like you did a good job, and no sag under the headlights = win, we'll see if it stay that way once its been mounted but im sure you test fitted and such before primering

I test fitted it before we start the little bodywork on it. there won't be sags under the headlights because bodykits took care of that issue. It fits the headlights damn good, no sag and no hump

[jackal2000]

looks like shit.



psych. love it.

[sofa]

looks sick boys keep at'er

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

no sag and no bump are good, what kind of gap do you have?

[bdyman]

That's going to look so nice when finished. bdyman do u work only on aleros? =p like if i get a bodykit for a vibe could u help me put it on etc?


of corse i can, i have to finish scot`s car first then i can do your kit
and yes it was test fitted and need repairs were null and void on the front bumper just allot of sanding, i did fix the ripples by the headlights, for my own personal taste
just gotta fill some pinholes sand it prime it one last time and ready for paint
but first on to the rear bumper........................updates as we go along

[Oldsman]

no sag and no bump are good, what kind of gap do you have?

too answer your question. this was before bdyman and I started it.

looks great

[Vinalero]

Finally, we are going to see it!

[black00gt1]

the fitment is better than aed's looks good

[Oldsman]

update......................

[_01Alero_]

very nice looks like it is coming along quite nicely...
Sorry if this has been asked before, but are you getting all this done before a.s.s. this year? Im sure those are the hopes, but didn't know if it was realistic at this point to think it will be there...

[kwhauck]

i'm pretty sure that is his plan..

[_01Alero_]

i'm pretty sure that is his plan..

Me too, me too
But I just wondered if it was still in the helm of reality for it to be done in that time... I guess I'm more or less asking at this stage in the process are things still on track to be done by a.s.s.... Sorry if the question was worded wrong...
Cause it would be awesome to see!

[kwhauck]

you under estimate bdyman..

[_01Alero_]

No, I just know how much work goes into these kind of things... Maybe some people under estimate the amount of work it takes to get things done...In the correct and perfectionist kind of way that bdyman im sure has...

[kwhauck]

i'm sure chris can handle it, even if it means pulling some all nighters...

[_01Alero_]

Agreed...

Either way, looks real good so far. Sorry to crap up the thread.... Can't wait to see more pics of progress.

[Oldsman]

the bumper will be done for ASS. the side skirts are still waiting to be fixed by bodykits (the best way to do it). the wing won't be on either. we are going to put studs in it and bolt it on which is for the best. We just started the rear bumper and there is A LOT of work to do on that thing.

[bdyman]

so far i have 5 days into the front bumper and its ready for the final coat of primer, we started on the rear bumper and like scot said it needs ALLOT of work, what you see are just clamps holding the bumper in shape

i had to reshape the rear bumper with my heat gun and got it REAL REAL HOT, clamped put heavy objects on the rear cover so it maintains shape, the wing well i wont comment on that right now

and yes the front and rear bumpers will be done before lansing i have plenty of time to do my thing to it
updates as we go along

[joserivas19]

looks great. alot better than what mine is. i wish there was a shop here that was willing to work on my kit to fix it.

[bdyman]

iam sure there is ya just have to look around

[joserivas19]

all there is here in my town is repair shops and they wont do it. i have tried seattle and no luck. the only one is in portland 3.5 hours away. and i dont feel like leaving my car again after the bad bodykits experience.

[bdyman]

i dont blame you at all, its coming out real nice too just a shame what happened to you, if you were closer i would do it for you

[joserivas19]

yeah, i know. that would be nice. we'll see what happens with aldo and the bumper issue.

[Oldsman]

yeah, i know. that would be nice. we'll see what happens with aldo and the bumper issue.

well Aldo said if you pay for shipping of old bumper back and new bumper out you can get a new bumper. But he did say he could not guarantee 100% fixed on the rear.

[bdyman]

oh i guarantee 100% fix on the rear cover

[joserivas19]

yeah, i know he said that. it just ridiculous he wants us to pay for shipping when it was their mistake. plus, my car was the donor car and they still messed it up while the car was there.

[Oldsman]

it's basically like this.....since the bumper will actually fit on the car then they won't work with us anymore. now they should do something for your car being they NEVER actually fitted the kit on your car. they just jammed it on and there you go.

[Oldsman]

I was informed today that my finance dept has ordered no more OSV update pics. If you want to see it bring your butts to ASS.

Sorry..............send complaints to.............Old'swife

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

sounds like you got primer....or even the gold paint on the bumpers already (or at least have painting scheduled)

[-Alero-]

i still cant believe i havent gotten my bodykit yet.

[Oldsnut]

They will not ship until whatever they are fixing is fixed. This is also the wrong thread to post a comment like that. This is about Scots kit and what bdyman is doing to fix there screw-ups

[-Alero-]

they have like 4 threads about the one scott has. i was simply looking at his and thinking to my self, wow i wonder why i dont have mine.

[Oldsnut]

Wasn't your kit damaged? Did you file paperwork with the shipping company?

[bdyman]

yes the finance company has shut us down sorry no more updates until homecoming, you have to see it there only

[PappaSmurf]

Damnit Oldsman and Bdyman,
I was getting all excited looking into this and yall go and shoot me down. LOL
I guess that since the wifey put the brakes on this, I will have to understand. Can't wait till homecoming though.
-Smurf-

[Alerosaint]

thats ok...Ill use google earth to check in at the progress...lol

[bdyman]

we put a black tarp over the garage

[black00gt1]

google earth is like realllly old pic i herd 2 years so you'r looking @ 2007 lolol

[Oldsman]

just a FYI..........quality of rear bumper is not close to the front bumper. it is wavy as shit and we had quite a bit of heating and reshaping. For those of you with the kit be prepared to put a lot a lot money in the rear bumper to have it done right. If you body shop doesn't block and reshape back by the trunk and the tailight area on the passenger side, oh don't forget the side of the bumper of the driver side it will end up looking like shit.

[bdyman]

yes guys its true the rear bumper is so warped and it took allot of heat, to fix the warping, not to mention the lumpy fiberglass bottom line anyone who takes this kit to a shop will be dumping ALLOT of money to make it fit and look decent

[hok666]

Having no knowledge of fixing the fiberglass and having a heat gun how would I go about fixing it unless that's what bodykits was going to be working on with Saint's ho?

[Oldsman]

Bodykits was only fixing the trunk area where it is wrapped bad. Aldo even told me over the phone that he can't guarantee it is fixed.

the only way to do that work without knowledge of what your doing is have a bodyshop do it for you.

Well either way sounds great, but if it doesnt get worked out I would like to do the work myself for a learning experience if Aldo cant fix it..

[bdyman]

well its very hard to explain online you have to be next to me watching me do it sorry i cant help ya out

[hok666]

well its very hard to explain online you have to be next to me watching me do it sorry i cant help ya out

Yea, well Im not worried about it.. I'll just have to learn, darn!!:lol::ninja:

one thing i can tell ya is this, dont use a hair dyrer its not hot enough

[hok666]

Well, DUH!!!^:lol:

[Oldsman]

have you ever worked with fiberglass before or done a lot of body work? It is your kit but my recomendation would be to work with someone who knows what they are doing so you can learn the right way and not screw up your kit.

Somethings you can learn on your own but others well........you wouldn't do surgey on someone and say i can learn it along the way.

To use Cherry's word.. you gotta be an idit savant for this to work out your first time :lol:

[bdyman]

laugh all you want but scot is right, one mishap of the d.a. and you cause a low spot in the glass, you heat it to much it will crack, the rear bumper is pretty bad compared to the front bumper

it needs so much work, and i only have 2 days in the bumper and no where near finished, the waves, the ripples, so many problems, that it is not for a novice to attmept

but hey i guess iam a dumbass wtf do i know

[cherrington17]

[lonnie]

Oh...............my asshole bleeds for youYou may want to get that looked at....that could be hemroids....LOL

So I've been following this cause I'm interested in one of these kits, but let me make sure I under stand what is going on

First the front bumper needs minor repair to work?

Second the rear bumper needs to much work to work?

Third the side skirts just dont work at all?

Do I have it right?

Do I have it right?

the front bumper doesn't need any work really. it could be prepped and paint but if you get it and it has maybe a chip or little crack then you would need minor work

The rear needs a lot of work to work which could be too much

the sides you are correct.

the wing........needs minor work to fit nice from what Andy and I have looked at. otherwise not sure past that.

[bdyman]

for my own personal taste i fixed low spots beneath thw bumper, and the lower part i made more to wut gm did
rocker moldings well wow is a understatment
rear bumper so much labor is i?vovled and is goin to cost allot of money to make it look decent
the wing well no comment

Bingo, it's gonna be a hard job for someone new to it unless they get lucky or are a prodigy or something.

[bdyman]

i understand, iam not fuckin retarded,

well go ahead and try, what are you g oing to do with this gel coat?? how do you fix cracks in fiberglass? thats just the begining, you can try and if ya screw it up iam sorry i cant help ya becasue iam not there teaching you
my professional suggestion to any novice trying to attempt this dont do it, take it to a shop pay the money to have it done

[Oldsman]

update......................got color on the front bumper. rear should be colored by tuesday.

this is a costly project........ i feel sorry for those of you that will a bodyshop do your work.

[Oldsman]

i will post a few pics tomorrow

[bdyman]

oh ya!!! front bumper has color on, rear bumper is ready for paint
but the finance depratment has shut the pictures down

[tnalero99]

This may be a dumb question but would you know ballpark what it may cost to fix the kit the way it is and install/paint it at a body shop? I know I could not tackle that project so I leave that to the pros but would like to know how much I should have saved once all is settled and kit is ready for install.

[Oldsman]

with how much time chris and I have in just the bumpers, and figuring a labor rate of $65/hour...........that puts you at $3,120.00 That is a ruff estimate. So if you add the wing and fixing the side skirts that we have.........oh wow........ probably add another $1500 at least. now all cost i gave you does not include materials. there you are probably looking at $800-$1000.

Chris can correct me if i am off but i estimate whole kit fixed and fitted and painted PROPERLY(important word here) probably $5k. More than likely everyone else won't be as anal as me and chris so it may cost less. but honestly if some shop says oh $1000-1500 i would worry.

[Oldsman]

the tip of the rear bumper is screwed up and does not fit correctly so we had to glass and shape the sob.

Well, that's only mildly disheartening.

[tnalero99]

Thanks for the estimate. At that price it would take a few years of extra money to save to that level, better to put the money into house instead of car. Just have to wait and see if it is worth it down the road to even try to do this or scrap it and take the loss.

So does all this work mean that your going to get everything worked out with bodykits?? Cause well I havent recieved mine yet... Thats the only reason Im asking... Seems like everyone else got there's already... Im still waiting.... Very very patiently....

[01OldsAleroGt]

Bdyman is going nuts ^ LMAFO

i like it tho.. good work gentlemen

[bdyman]

scot is right about the pricing, i have 5 days in the front bumper, and about 6 days in the rear bumper, the rear bumper..............well lets just say it needed allot of work, as you see

the ends of the bumper were so weak and one side didnt even fit right, so i had to re-glass and build one side up, and where the exhaust tips go................ummmm ya had to re shape the entire section, not to mention all the stress cracks, not to mention the poor fitment, it is allot of work

the rocker moldings.....WOW, the wings.....WOW, some shops that do nothing but install kits and do custom work once into the install of the kit would have to call the customer back and up the price, but i have to tip my hat to the company that made it from pictures it does look like the osv kit,

iam using PPG dbc system if anyone wants to know

[pimpalero2003]

I've been told once get a kit roll it for a week mounted then paint. I quess cracks in the paint or something that really true?

[Oldsman]

So does all this work mean that your going to get everything worked out with bodykits?? Cause well I havent recieved mine yet... Thats the only reason Im asking... Seems like everyone else got there's already... Im still waiting.... Very very patiently....

well some of the work on the rear bumper has been worked out with the warping but not the exhaust area which bodykits said they will not fix and the tips are probably not fixed either.

[kwhauck]

sweet!!! Looks good mang!!!

Well, that's only mildly disheartening.

Thanks for the estimate. At that price it would take a few years of extra money to save to that level, better to put the money into house instead of car. Just have to wait and see if it is worth it down the road to even try to do this or scrap it and take the loss.

just to clear some things up so your not discourged........it could cost you guys less. like i said if your not as anal as bdyman and I. Meaning my car is a show car, so we made sure there is no waves in it and the fitment was just like factory. the front bumper could be done with very minimal body work if needed and then scuffed and painted. the rear well the wrapping still would need to be fixed. the exhaust area doesn't really need to be done except maybe for the opening so it is an even curve. What I had bdyman do to the exhaust area was me being very anal about exactness of the OSV. the way yours is it is very close and looks fine.

Also I based the $3120 on 65/hour your guys shop may charge less and they may not put 48 hours in just the bumper. So please understand that the estimate, i gave of $5000, is to have the kit done to a show car level, which is what all I know how to do and same with bdyman.

Now if you guys could do the work yourself with the fitment and then have a shop just paint it then you will have a big savings.

more then likely, not until A.S.S....lol nice unveiling...looking awesome so far scott and chris

[PappaSmurf]

Yeah but damnit I cant wait that long!!! LOL
Scott and chris are the reason I am thinking about this kit instead of all others. I would ONLY have chris do the work as we have already talked. But I want PROOF that he can do a good job,...(yeah right, I just wanna see more pics.) LOL
I already know that chris is the man when it comes to bodywork!

[jturkey69]

knowing what I know now, and having two of the four possible kits made for the alero...my first choice would be the razzi again, only molded to one piece, and the OSV as a very close toss-up...depending on who did the work for me...if it was Chris, it would be the OSV...if not, then it would be the Razzi the other two fiberglass kits..while one is hard to get, they both are too low for me.
