Default NA Splitter Progress

Anyone remember when everyone was all excited about making splitters for their 944na's?

I was still wondering about a formal writeup on how to do that... and any advice that anyone could give on how to do this, maybe some more pics as well...

This car on ebay made me think of it...
Sweet, new pic thing for only members!

Carl, I have a Fiberwerks splitter that may help for ideas, I'm keeping it but.. I would do one, solid or whatever, no biggie, get it right and make a negative mold to make the real ones. You could even do it with wood or a wood frame to mock it up. just remember it will warp with moisture so do it and get your mold while it's still straight if you go that route.

indeed it is!

yea, about 2 weeks ago when all the fighting bs was going on I started to wonder where LeadFoot was. I loved the progress on his car as much as ANY. Early NA with soooo much costum fab!! Certainly a labor of love.

That picture does it no justice.

IIRC, he just purchased his first home a few months back. Maybe he's been busy with that and work lately?

Shoot him a PM and see if he responds.

I agree completely! Lead Foot's car is an inspiration to all of us with N/A's

WOW guys all I have to say is THAnk YOu for the Very Kind Words....Things I have been up to...? Well Yes the house has been a huge project on its own, and bills.....ahh the bills will they ever stop...I have been working at least 60 hours a week lately at work, on its own mostly because its so dam cold out, and Im so dam sick of it, Its almost depressing...So I figure why not not just work some extra hours and save up some more cash for the Turbo motor project for my car..And then of course I have the side jobs to deal with also....But I still do try and check the list daily to see what you guys are all chatting about these days.....

"The N/A chin Spoiler" The reason Craig and I simply made the chin spoiler for my car and then stopped the fiberglass work there, is simply because it became to cold out and to dam expensive to keep the garage warm enough 24-7 for the epoxys and resins to dry properly...But we have been playing around with plenty of foam models...You guys can expect us to start this topic up and begin to write up a process soon on how to go abouts on getting you guys some N/A splitters, tailights, Intake pressure Cube Kits, etc...We have a bunch of ideas, just no time to work them out it seems...But as soon as the weather breaks in the next month or so we hope to start making some stuff....We have been playing around with alot of ideas for the 968 RST spoiler aswell...

And again you guys made me smile when I read this post..Thanks I needed it...
