Sometimes you just have to...
Tear it all apart and say 'not good enough, go back and try harder' ::)

I hope this isn't a case of "perfect" being the enemy of the already-kick-butt. :dunno

No its just the result of concept as you go. Now I know how the whole cab is going to work I want to go back and refine parts of the build that were rushed by the excitement of the brainstorming. I have a stronger motor to install in the rotation system I want to install brackets for the sides in the right places and make other refinements. Also installing the ground fx diamond plate and carbon fiber finish is better done on the stripped down frame.
Because this was my first ever build I knew I would have to feel it out as I go that's why I made the cab in such a way that I could pull it to pieces at any time. So now ican go back and focus on quality of finish now that I know the design works.
Its about the journey not the destination.

It was looking so...excited! Now, it just looks sad.
Hahahaha. I know what your talking about. I'll take crap apart 2 or 3 times before I think it's good enough.

Carbon Fiber wrap day...
Sanded down the black that I had on the base with 100 grit, it turned into a nice heavy filler actually so that was a plus
I had to work out a 3D template for the film, this made my brain hurt so I had to take a little nap :P
Measured it out onto the back of the wrap, praying that I had it right as this could be an expensive miscalculation
Hopefully this is right
3 hours of extreme stress and feeling like I was taking this on in a very foolish way on my own. I get the vinyl into such a mess that I almost give up, but it's testament to the insane technology advances in vinyls and adhesives that I was able to make a recovery and actually save the piece. During this time there were no photos just huge amounts of sweating, cursing and praying. I used to work years ago at a sign making and vehicle graphics company, so I'm pretty experienced with vinyl and have done some very difficult jobs with it, my experience from that work and the amazing forgiving nature of the 3M 1080 were the only things that saved me from screwing up a $70 piece of vinyl.
But after all that, it's starting to look good...
The way the vinyl is made allows you to expel ALMOST all air bubbles with very little effort
Trimmed up and back on her feet/wheels
Coin door and subwoofer back in place, and the difference while subtle is very nice
I NEVER want to go through that again, no fun, but thankfully the result was a good one.
