What did you do to your GT350 today?

After dimensioning I spent some time in Solidworks sketching. I have a custom font I'm going to use but didn't have it in place when I rendered the following shot. I also did a quick and easy on some of the extrude cuts, hence why the snake's ribs differ a little than the OEM badge. I'll spend more time and finish it when I can.


Care to share the SW CAD model? I have a better Rendering tool if interested! :)

Mounted the Carbon2Carbon R wing today. Chris at C2C was very generous with his time and was a great help over the phone. Had some issues pairing the carbon fiber trunk with the wing but my husband's ingenuity proved invaluable!

This emblem looks dated, like low res olds style cnc. I like to see an artist upgrade with more detail and more dangerous!

"Issues" as in the wing mounting flange faces wouldn't sit flush on the trunk?

Not really. It was flush but I think either we were off on the placement of the templates or the amount of flex was more than we bargained for. The holes just wouldn't line up. We'd get two holes on one side but the third wouldn't line up so we'd loosen and try again... NOTHING was working. My husband lost patience and came up with his own solution. These problems are probably due to our own inexperience in these matters, though. I'm sure you'll be fine. lol

As I stated earlier, I did a quickie on the extrude cut of the ribs. I can continue editing the file to mirror stock. My concern at the time was just getting something together that I could scale on a badge blank. That is the GT350 snake. Here it is on a CF wheel I rendered...

So did he ream a hole(s) on the decklid or address the issue on the spoiler?

Yeah, I wanted to do the centercaps but they got put on the backburner. Headed back down to Georgia on Monday in hopes of swaying a certain somebody to consider badges. Gonna drive the car too because it needs to be driven.

I'll be hauling ass, err moving at a brisk pace down 77. Maybe we could meet near exit 85 as I can indeed bring some hardware with me.

I live right off of 77 and can meet you at exit 90, 88 or 85 easily.

Let me know when your getting close and I can be to any of those exits within 10 to 15 mins.

And I get to see your GT350!!!!

I'll PM you my phone #
