Last week's trip to the Ace definitely got my Crossfire juices flowing again, so today I decided to brave the cold and damp and crack on with some aero mods I have had planned for years.

Seeing as the car is still on stands I decided to continue with my spitter/undertray project. The intention is for the spitter/tray to extend rearwards replacing the existing tray, and integrate into the inner arch/brake duct mouldings I made some time ago. I'm then going to make up some functional side skirts which will extend under the floor to smooth out the underside.

I'm still refining the shape but managed to get the basic dimensions and attachment points figured out.

 

Glad to hear you got the Crossfire Bug again - looks like some interesting experiments going on there! Trouble is once you start you can't stop! I wonder if this is going to end up as the Crossfire MKII !

PS Brugge is booked - 3 going to date!

 

very interesting

 

Spent some more time on this today, but still sorting out the corners which I will have to look at tomorrow before pulling it all off the car.

 

Nice Woody! That is one hairy car! Keep up the great work!

 

Thanks Mimi, don't worry it'll be getting a shave today

 

Been away from doing any of my own body work for years now, but find it interesting you can glass to the bumper cover. Does today's resin flex enough to not crack under the pressure the wind will creat? I did a few vettes when I was a kid, but used all fiberglass to create a whole new bumper cover, never tried what you are doing. Just curious.

 

The spiller/airdam won't actually be glassed to the bumper cover. This is just the first step in making the 'buck' to pull the mould from before laying up the final moulding. So what you see in the pictures will all be coming back off the car once I get the shape sorted. I'm then going to integrate it into the brake duct/arch liner mouldings i made up a few years ago. The finished item will fit by hooking over the lower edge of the bumper cover and extend back to the gearbox replacing the current sump cover.

 

We have separation....



Also started on the sideskits this afternoon but not taken any pics yet.

 

OK, you are doing what I use to do with the corvettes. Great job. That would have been how I imagined it, but it looked attached. Interesting build, keep us posted.
