Cleopatra Jones Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Here's some castings my uncle's been messing around with. We got a couple different types of casting resin. One of them cures to white and there's another that is kinda translucent yellow. We've put some black die in both to see how they'd turn out. One of them came out gray for some reason. And he's been dieing to try out this gold stuff he got. I've been testing out different paint on one of the black ones. Kinda wanted to do these with a brush but I'm getting brush strokes like I thought I would. The spray paint is better. Testing continues........ Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Floyd-I didn't realize you had an SL. Cool car. Tach. Rear wiper. 5 speed. Luggage cover. Intermittent wipers. Now just adjust the altitude and you'll be golden! 1 Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 You don't want to use a brush or spray those emblems, you want to get a small soft ink roller and roll the contrasting color on. This will give you more consistent results. Quote Link to comment
njoz1200ute Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 You better make friends with someone that knows Maya or Rhino or one of them other 3D modeling programs. That's gonna cost ya! The printing isn't so bad. It's getting someone to render it for you that costs you. I can help out anyone looking to make a 3d file. I am an experienced Rhino user Quote Link to comment

JDOM310 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 mine is an SL too and i have no wiper , bummer all my model has is the wiper fluid sprayer , . Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Got the other emblems I made off the car. Floss works nicely getting double stick tape off. The pins on the new emblems line up perfectly. Just need to paint them now. 1 Quote Link to comment
floyd17 Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 New GoPro.. Merry Christmas to me... Cool camera. I'm gonna have some fun with this thing!! Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 I want one of those. Where/how did you mount it in your car? Does it clip on? Or do you have to screw it into something (which I wouldn't want to do)? Quote Link to comment
Lonestar Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Judging from the angle, it's using a suction cup on the rear wing window. You can get extensions that will allow to go out like that. They are neat but battery life is kinda eh and you do need a pretty big SD card for them. mine is 32 gb and it can only hold 2 hours worth of video. Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Thanks for the info. I didn't look at the video. Too busy feeding my face :) Always curious about people's experience with these. Not a bad idea to have a dash cam these days. 1 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 They make all kinds of different ones now. If you get one Gopro that is get at least the silver edition 1 Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 I'll keep that in mind thanks! Quote Link to comment
floyd17 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Battery life isnt horrible. it lasted a few hours before i put it up, and still was on 2/3 bars of battery. i actually used an adhesive mount and placed it on the B-pillar. i don't remember what size memory card I got, but it holds like 2 hours of 1080p video. It is the hero 3+ silver edition, and YES i would recommend it to a friend :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
jeremyd72 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Are you making these? I need a set on my 80. Got the other emblems I made off the car. Floss works nicely getting double stick tape off. The pins on the new emblems line up perfectly. Just need to paint them now. Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Yes I'm working on some now. These prove a little more difficult than the last ones I made because it's a two part (front/back) casting and not one side like the others I did. Have to be careful or the air bubbles will ruin it so it's taking me a little more time to get a nice batch going. I'll post when I've got a few to pit up for sale. Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 For some reason, it just occured to me that I should post this here as well. Picked it up yesterday. Even got the original tag and hub caps! 2 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 That looks to be in pretty good shape. GX? Quote Link to comment
