Anyone with fiberglass/carbon fiber experiance

its not original and some might say its copying elliot…

but it has nothing to do with looks… more “functionality”

I was wondering if anyone around here has experiance with fiberglass/carbon fiber

Elliot I know yourself made your carbon fiber t-tops if i remember correctly…

Now I was thinking I want to replace the glass in my t-tops with just plane fiberglass or carbon fiber…

theres a couple reasons for this…

  1. I hate t-top shades their a PITA and look like shit IMO… and on a hot bright summer day if the t-tops are on because the sun is hot, or if their on because its sitting, the sun getting interior heating it up rapidly… I would think this would decrease tempratures drasticly as its not directly hitting anything in the car

  2. Weight, plain and simple

just tint the t-tops?

They are tinted, still doesnt help all that much when the sun is beating down on top of your head at 12 o clock…

and like I said Weight loss

a shop in ballston spa named vintage motorsports , phone number is 580-9020 talk to george or mike honest guys and it will be right

Thanks man. they do fiberglass or carbon fiber?

glass i do know talk to them about fibre see what he says

doing CF isnt much different than fiberglass… you just have to keep the weave straight if you want it to look good… same basic concept though

I dont necesarrily want carbon fiber… but i think it would look better than just black fiberglass… i dunnoo…

they sell fiberglass that looks like carbon fiber… and its A LOT cheaper… last time i ordered CF i paid around 65 a yard for cheap stuff where as i can get fiberglass that looks exactly the same for 18 a yard

i know how to work with them both you jackass. why the hell wouldn’t you ask me folms???

because you cant say holmes?

elliot didnt make his cf t tops and if u want to make a set of t-tops for u ask jim and elliot to help jim does great fiberglass work and elliot has worked with cf for a few things

shady let me know if you have this done because it is something i might like to do to mine. I if you need a set of t tops i have a set from my old 86 2+2 i will sell really cheap

Yea, cheap 2+2 t-tops would be great…

I plan on havin git done, but its not on a high priority list, its one of those, after the car is running and everything is legit then ill do it…

But if I give someone the spair set of T’s if they could just at least look for now and tell me if they think they could do it and make it look legit and not a hack job, let me know and I have no problem giving the t-tops to you just for you to experiament…

On another note, the possibility for money to be made here as well as I know a few Z31 members have talked about doing this to their t-tops as well.

Guys, I hope you can help me out. With spring / summer coming up… my car gets really hott… I’m hoping I can make a carbon fiber windshield. Does anyone wanna help me out with that? Thanks!!!

Seriously? Shit like that is completely un needed in this thread.

I’ll take some carbon fiber signal lenses.

Shady, give me $50, and I shall build you the heaviest bondo t-tops you have ever seen in your life! They will be great, garaunteed to break/chip/crack over the slightest of bumps, and are totally re-bondoable to fix!

Lemme know ****!!

sounds like a steal!
