CorAce Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 I saw one of your first molded products yesterday at DatsLoCo car meet. Your work is awesome! Can't wait to get one! Any chance you got a pic of it? I'd like to see one on another car. Quote Link to comment

kgb Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Couldn't bring the car. But here's a pic Quote Link to comment
CorAce Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 It looks great on there. Did everything fit ok? Quote Link to comment
kgb Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 For the most part, it fits great. Problem is my front end pass side is tweaked a little. I'm still wrapping up the halo swap so that pic was just two top bolts holding the grille. Everyone there was amazed. Most who don't follow ratsun couldn't tell that it's a repro Quote Link to comment
CorAce Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 That's really cool. Are you going to paint it stock or leave it all black? I kinda like the all black look. Quote Link to comment
kgb Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Def all black That's really cool. Are you going to paint it stock or leave it all black? I kinda like the all black look. Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Black on red looks great. Also mines still holding up perfectly. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jesse C. Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I would be down for a "Do It Yourself" kit. Lets see if all those years of building model cars pays off! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
CorAce Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Do to the incredible generosity of SSSEXXX I will be getting my hands on an original supersonic badge to make a copy of for the grills. it will need a little cleaning but should make an awesome silicone mold for reproduction. I should have a prototype made in the next couple of weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Count me in for first one made. Non painted for me. Quote Link to comment
BlkSSnCPT Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 saw someone down here in Socal trying to sell your grill on cl for $1500 iirc, i know it was over a grand. it's solid unpainted plastic which is how i knew it wasn't real. i can look for the cl add if you'd like. -Rob Quote Link to comment

I would feel bad for the guy that spends that much on one, but if your not going to do your homework before spending $1500, well... Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 But if someone was to buy it for that much ,, it would also be the biggest complement ,,, of all time.! :) I saw the grill on your car at Canby and the craftsmanship you put into those is amazing. 2 Quote Link to comment
72dyme Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 The grille on Craigslist is 1700 now... http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/pts/4159004890.html Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 What a fucking idiot. CorAce you should stamp or mark the grille 'repro' or something. Although derp derp if you are dumb enough to mistake this as OEM. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I flagged the ad. 1 Quote Link to comment
CorAce Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I know each of the grills I make pretty well beings I spend 10-12 hours with each one and I can say with confidence that is not one of mine. Not to mention, judging by the cob webs growing on it, it has been hanging on that wall for some time. I'm willing to bet its a factory unit. The only sketch thing is why is it painted all white? Maybe to hide its condition? 2 Quote Link to comment
Mg3playa Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 How are we looking CorAce?? Quote Link to comment
CorAce Posted October 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 How are we looking CorAce?? The weathers turned cold and damp here so its taking a little more time for the plastic & paints to cure properly but I'm still getting after it. Yours should be ready to ship by Monday. I may have to consider a way to heat my garage this winter if orders keep up. Quote Link to comment
Mg3playa Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Ok cool just let me know I can't wait to see it. Hey also let me know is you start making the badges to cause I want one. Quote Link to comment

Provides good local heat inside large structures. Maybe there'e one in your future? Quote Link to comment

Bimart has a what looks like an old wall radiator on wheels but its some kind of oil filled electric thing. My buddy uses one in his house boat and it heats it nicely. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 I flagged the ad. I did too. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 I did too. It may actually be real. Im talking to the guy that currently owns it. Looks like its just completely painted white... Oops. Quote Link to comment
