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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Looks awesome.

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?

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............

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

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

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

green or gold?
:cool:

well well bitches its update time
finished preping the bumper and applied primer tonight, onto the pics enjoy

looking good!!!!

looks good

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?

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
