Combat wing replica (to all who own a combat wing)

[madmikethespoon]

Ok, heres the deal, I'm planing on fabricating a Combat Wing replica out of fiberglass and need some measurements. Below is a chart showing which measurements I need, I don't need all of them and any would really help. If all goes well I will be able to produce them and sell them for less then the current replica price.

I'll see if I can get some measurements tomorrow.

make sure the sides are straight up! not slanted inward like all the fiberglass units are......also, could you do a metal center piece?

Make one that is slightly wider

[jhut03]

make one twice as tall!!! lol jk, make the center piece carbon fiber

I hope someone actually gets these... I had no luck with my topics 3 years ago:

yeah the straight up is no problem, but why a metal center piece? it can be done, just not sure why you would want to.

yeah I read your other threads before posting this one, they got pretty retarded pretty fast. I have my fingers crossed for this one though. which reminds me, the first one to suggest an evo or celica wing gets a boot to the head .

reason for metal middle piece

when i look in the rear view mirror, and i see a fiberglass shelf shaking at 80mph on the freeway, id feel a bit uncomfortable
with the metal middle piece, flex would be minimal

now, i don't know much about body fabrication, but would just a metal brace (or something of the like) on the inside of the fiberglass do the jearb?

and, if you do end up making these, it might be sort of cool if (speaking of the carbon fiber deal) the pieces were interchangable. i'm sure you could sell carbon fiber center pieces to lotsa people IF they fit with their replicas/oem's...

just an idea, and good luck producing= i'd take the measuremeants for you, but my combat is off being painted.lol

Ohh, forgot to mention that... my FB replica at 200 kmph looks like its gonna break! it already has small hairline cracks on the corners
