Hartge side skits, interest? (AU)

[Michael999]

Ive just ordered some Hartge skirts http://www.hartge.de/html/e34uk.html
And i thought to myself, i can make a mould from these.
My dad is a boat builder and uses fibre glass and carbon fibre alot, done lots of moulds and for all sorts of things.
I talked to him, and he said these will be quite easy to make.

We worked out that the mould will cost me around $150 to make, then around another $50 per set of skirts. (add $50 for carbon fibre per skirt).
So my question is, does anyone want a set?

I would be interested, but how would it be attached to the body of the car and would you leave it unpainted or would you have it painted for extra? How much would it cost then, it is $150 + $50?

[Michael999]

Apparently the original Hartge skirts are simply glued on.
Once i get them i will work out the best way to replicate the skirts so that the inside is the same as out so that attaching is easy.

Hmm i cant paint them unfortunately, ill ring a few shops and check on prices, but i doubt it will be much given the small size and off the car.

The mould can be used over and over, so if there are several interested parties, then the price will be lower.
$50+($150/parts sold)+labour. (labour likely to be just a couple hours, at my award rate of $18.50)
Dad says each set will take a day to make, but thats 90% waiting around time for resin to dry.

Sorry i dont have a more concrete price, but it certainly wont be over $200.
(if there are 4ppl interested, then it will be be $50+40+labour)
Please let me know if your interested

Count me in. CF if it turns out well.

[BigKriss]

thats fine. I'll find a way to mount them and paint them. I don't like the idea of them being glued on, but I want to purchase a set off you.

i'd be very interested if you can get a good way to attach them. i'd be REALLY interested if you got the bumpers too (rear at least).

btw- bigkriss, your sig... i almost peed i laughed so hard.

[Michael999]

Sounds good guys, ill post progress pics once the skirts arrive and i get started.

Same here.

Bumpers would be great too. I want to make sure you wouldn't have any problems shipping to the USA though.

Yay! Been looking for a set for a while. I was thinking a set of the latest Falcon could be modded, but these might be just fine... Thanks for making the effort to do this Michael, ways to keep these ol' machines relevant and up to date are few and far between. You can count me in too! Nick
