Lamborghini X2

I finally got to read your whole worklog. Sorry to hear about all of the bad luck with this project but everything looks amazing. The paint booth was brilliant (might have to try that at some point). Personnaly, I won't buy stuff online until I've researched a company first, especially for pricier stuff like electronics. From what I can see in the pics, it looks like you did a good job of capturing the style of windows, especially that you just free handed them.

Best of luck finishing this beast.

He better not charge me! I logged onto my bank account and so far only the sale from J&R has shown up.

BTW ... voted for your Boss on the Dell site. ;)

um.. may I ask what brand is the stock casing? Looks nice, never seen one like that before...

ASUS Vento.

very first page!
;)

Okay, I jumped ahead. :rolleyes: I've had some time the last two weeks to work on the mod, which is when I broke my camera in the first place. And according to UPS I don't get my new one until Friday (I think they sent it "Pony Express" :) ). And I'll have some shots for you then so you can see what I've done (I will save the other door so you can watch it develop, because the easy door has now become the hard door to work on. Reason, that side will have the pic and LED lights added).

But ... I did the chrome trim, and put in the tinted window. Added the leather to the back (used to be black plastic - which is why I didn't care if paint or bondo got on it) and it came out GREAT! I added the nameplate "Lamborghini" and the one door decal.

So, those shots will be of the finished door. The rest will have the regular work log shots.

I'll try not do anymore until I get my camera. So ... tune in Friday to see the new Lamborghini door!:D

My dad just bought a camera from the same idiots as you. I had him immediately cancel his order and inform visa. They gave him some crap at his credit card expiration date, even though it was fine. They changed his order from "new" to "refurbished", then pushed him to buy accessories, like a new battery and memory card.

Camera arrived 1 day early. So, here are the shots I promised.

First, I used adhesive spray to attach the leather to the case.

Nameplate ...

Window & trim. Disappointed with the trim ...

Trying to give you an idea of how shiny it is.

And to show that window is see-thru:D

And a little mod find ...

In boxes of Rice Krispies are these stupid key chains of a skull that light up.
What's cool about them is that they are very small, come with a battery, and
only go off if moved (some kind of motion detector). I thought they might
come in handy for something :D

:)

Wow, that leather looks sweeet. And the logo is nice too.

Thanks. :D The leather work was easy compared to the trim. I may take it off and start with some chrome trim a size larger. The 1/4 inch size, kinked to easily. And it could be cut better too.

As for the shots, they could be better. This camera has tons of more features then my last one, and will take some time getting used to it. Remember though, all shots are reduced and compressed. I'll upload some high resolution shots of the mod when completed.
