DIMPLE DIE ALL THE THINGS!!!!

 More progress this week and almost ready for paint. Cage is completely done now, and finishing touches are being added to the front and rear of the car to get the fab work done by weds for paint.  Can't thank Luigi enough for all his help on this. Jesse Wood was on hand as well, filming for our build video as well as shooting some hot snaps of the process. I'll post those up at the bottom.

I don't do much of the fab work, but I like to help when I can. I made all of the plates and dimples for the whip, and they came out pretty damn good if I must say. I want to dimple everything in my life now.

Preview of the machetes I made.

Let's start with the "nascar style" door bars. I love the way these look, and luigi did a great job on them.

We also added the mandatory wheel intrusion bars as well.

He also started on the radiator mounts for the rear of the car, dimples of course included.  :)

Here is the 6 step process to make plate to hold the badassness that is dimple die.

Step 1.

Step 2.

Step 3.

Step 4.

Step 5.

Step 6.

We also did the sections of the car in the front and rear of the car. 

 

I love the way this looks. More gussets and dimple dies to come for sure. 

Jesse Wood is good, understood? Thanks for the epic shots man. <3

Drill holes yo.

See you all next time!

1990 Nissan 240sx s13 Silvia widebody coupe for sale! Rolling shell baller parts SOLD

Ok dudes. Here we go. I have removed parts! The shell is now cheaper. Offer still stands to take all of it now for 7k instead of 8k from before.

Asking 5,000 obo for the shell without the Stance coils and Evo 8 brakes (will have godspeed coils), and 2,300 for the wheels alone.

Up for grabs is a 1990 mint purple painted, molded wideboby, full chargespeed aero (including the hood), big braked, baller wheeled coupe rolling shell just begging to have your sr / ka / rb / jz / ls motor put in it. Not going to budge much on the price. If I don't get what I am asking for it, I will be putting a motor in and doubling the price ;) You guys know what all this shit is worth. Don't low ball me. Nothing on it is knock off.

I want to sell it as a whole unit (only thing I'd part out is the wheels), but I may be able take stuff off to make it cheaper. You'll need to message me on that stuff.

More pics can be taken if need be, but this shows a damn fine representation of this car. Clean title, ready to be trailered home.

Roll cage and making rear light brackets FTW

FD is fast approaching as we get the chassis prepped and ready for paint in a week. Luigi and Daniel and Jacob have been killing it this week and weekend on the car. Much progress has been made!

Luigi and Jacob mobbed hard sunday and finished 90% of the cage minus door bars, bracing and those all important dimple die holes we all know and love. Cage pics go! The cage is sexy and high out of the way and awesome.

He also Whipped up a intercooler support bar that bolts off for easy removal of motor. PS Yukio don't mind the Precision on there, it's just for mock up!!!! <3 Can't wait for the Garrett GTX to be sitting there instead :)

Daniel diligently dabbled directly with the rear end. #alliteration Cutting the entire rear end of the car off brings in some interesting challenges... Such as getting the taillights where they are supposed to be, and mounting the garnish piece that goes under them. These are designed to be replaced easily in the case of some rear end carnage. Luckily for me, Daniel knows what he is doing and they came out right dandy looking. They also made a cage for the fuel cell to sit nice and snug in.

That's all for now folks, stay tuned for more soon!

Onward and upward! BN widebody and stuffs

Hello people of the internets! It's time for another update from the Factory Edge's DriftFERM secret test facility.

Lack of updates due to lack of funding have sucked, but we got some funding and ordered a whole slew of parts to get us back on track, first of which being a BN style kit from http://www.carbonfiberhoods.com. We also finished stitch welding the chassis in the meantime.

Stitch welping. So many welping.

It arrived thanks to Danny George who picked it up from the warehouse, and Travis Avery from Colorado, who was at vegasdrift this weekend and was kind enough to scoop it for me and bring it on home. <3 you dudes.

So the kit fit pretty damn well out of the box, and is close to the same one I had on my 2011 car (the look i loved). Keep in mind it stayed on with not a clamp holding it anywhere. Yay!

The ol' college try

Luigi cut some hockey stick shapes out of the sideskirts, and trimmed the part that goes into the door sill off of the rear fenders to get it to fit juuuust right. We then cut the entire rear of the car off (yet another reason for using this kit, as it is a full fender replacement) and went to town drilling and using cleko (sp?) pin things to hold it in place like bosses.

Cleko pin things

More pin things also #5.0

Here is the rear with the bumper clipped to the fenders. As you can see, nothing in the taillight area at all!

Dat gap!

Meets up with it's friend the sideskirt and the door closes nice and pretty like.

I really like the way this kit looked on my old car, and I like it again on this one. It's really wide too.

And some more pics for your perusal:

Dat wideness

Bulges

Next steps, get shit in the mail, cut the front end off and fab a new one and cage by the first of feb. See you soon!

Formula Drift build continues! (now with more weight savings!)

Here we are a week into the build, and Aoki and Luigi from ARD fabrication have been putting in work on the chassis. We got it bare just a few days ago, and yesterday cut out all the stuff that is not needed / hindering being badass.

 

 

 

Pile of actual scrap metal

 

rear quarter panel gooooone

spare tire tray gooooone

  

With the quarter panels, wheel wells and spare tire tub removed we dropped a respectable 38lbs off her.

wheel tubs gooooone

 This morning we lifted her up on the trailer, and brought her from the Factory Edge home to the media blaster to get all the nasty sound deadening residue off, as well as the undercoating and paint. 

More updates soon! Stay tuned.
