How to Make Carbon Fiber Quarter Panels for 240z (Ep #7) (4K)
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 31. 01. 2018
- Ok so we lay the first layer of carbon on the Datsun rear quarter panel, cleaned up the rust on the doors and we bond one of the carbon skins too the door as well. The goal is to have the quarters and roof bonded together next to show unity between the two.
If you guys don't know already this vehicle is solely going to be a track car and we are currently preparing for the GTA New Jersey Motorsports Global Time Attack. So if you go we will most likely see us there in June.
Some other great news is we finally surpassed the 1k mark with subscribers and this couldn't be done with out you guys and just was to give a huge thanks it means a lot!!!
In this video I also test out my new sigma 16mm 1.4 lens paired with my Sony a6300. Great lens and for any of my camera guys who are watching its a must buy I love it lol.
Ok enough talking from me enjoy the video and we will be back soon with more updates.

damn, just tuned into the series, what you guys are doing is really sick! I love it
Another great one! Keep it up bro!
You are the first person in the 20 or so hours who explained why you didnât tape it thank you!
Great job... I've loved watching the project
Shits looking dope man. Can't wait to see finish project.
So I'm late to the party, thank you kindly sir for the wonderful videos. Can't wait to see this build, channel, and shop all get the recognition it deserves.
Lovin it gents! Keep it going. Love this build!!!
loving this! looking at doing this to my 16 Miata
Good stuff. Yeah 1.4 is great for the darker spots in that shop, looks good man. Diggin those ambient beats in the back too. Dope production value for a dope project. Random 240 youtube searched landed me here, and glad I did so! Best of luck on the rest!
@@StreetBandito If the florescent lights are messing with your gear Costco has the 8' LED's for like $20 when I was visiting A-Town just before the holiday.
Its looking great :)
This is the video that I found you and jumped in and Subscribed. Now I clearly need to do a little bit of review.
Good vibes man, diggin the video. That Z is going to be sick!
Great content glad I subscribed!
Solid video series yo! Well done keep it up!
Kick ass series, keep it up
This channel is underrated af
That's awesome
Had to subscribe once u said "dmv". Dope ass datsun!
just found y'alls channel, some dope shit going down. Datsun love from texas
cant wait to see this done, i plan on doing the same carbon on my s15
such a sick video man!
Subscribed at 10:00 in the video! Great work guys!!
"One word to note"....Nissan please bring back the same vintage style in every way, with modern comfort, performance power and balanced pedigree.
nice a 3 year old comment before they brought it back, predictably lookin more like the 350z than anything else, with some 300zx lights in the rear.
I just want to see companies bringing back classic cars with modern performance and modern comforts
Sup is on brotha's! Great work and greez from Berlin, Germany đ Keep it comin!
Street Bandito nice! Can't wait for Thursday to comeđđ
Im building a restomod 240 and a restomod 280 .Im loving this build
Im doing a stock 240 Dash with carbon/ kevlar weave in black and red . to go inside my white car with red racing seats for some pop.
Also making door cards out of the same black and red weave for a more complete look leaving the interior as gutted as I can on the inside.My 280 will have the same 240 dash but blue and black combo and door panels and blue seats.
I really enjoy this build you guys are doing its both informative and fun .Its one kickass Z.
People that wonder why your not building moulds, they dont know how much more work and time and dollars go into that. We are not millionaires just want to build a fun cool car. Carbon alone is 3 to 5 times the cost of glass.
I think its cool your building moldless parts to show the guy in his home garage , you can do this with heart. Not endless bank account. Great job on car and on producing the videos. Your a good team.
Im waiting already for the next...
As I imagine your comment was directed at mine, I will respond. I do completely understand the time and efforts involved with making carbon parts - I do so a for a living. Not as a millionaire, as an individual, working alone in a home garage. Making molds actually SAVES you money, time, and produces a better product in the end. Ask me how I know this.
Making tooling does not require exotic materials, it only requires knowledge, which admittedly not a lot of people have.... I've built molds out of Great Stuff spray foam, scrap bits of wood, and bondo. Those are not budget killers. Meanwhile, spending 10 bucks each time you coat your parts with epoxy, and the time wasted sanding - and waiting on cure times - generally costs more in resources than making one perfect plug (which can remake molds - which is a safe investment). Not to mention you are adding weight, and making the parts more and more brittle each time. That is not allowing full advantage of the material's physical properties. Take an air-y laminate and coat it with resin a bunch of times and you're begging for problems should the materials flex in any way.
Andy Leonard well Ive been building sports cars and kit cars since I was 16 Im 62 now.
I had my own restoration shop for 20 years building kit cars restoring vintage sports and racing cars. Ive worked in prepreg with carbon and kevlar military helicopter part production modifing mold design and build parts in autoclaves in advanced molding techniques.
I have english wheel body panels , built fiberglass parts.
This build doesnt require molds he is making a one of a kind.
For this build.this method is as fast and a straight path to acheiving his objectives.
If this guy makes molds and sells the part produced from them
Its a huge head ache in shipping and producing flawless parts.
This guy is doing a great method
Its not aircraft quality but it is street racer quality. Making molds for what he is trying to acheive .doesnt justify the time and effort and cost. I admire this method simple easy fast and still GOOD .But if he was producing a kit car......well then he should come see you.
Street Bandito well Ive done this so many many many times on just about every sports car you can imagine.Im documenting my builds as a matter of habit.
I stay away from social media.
I do enjoy Z car builds....they are just a great over all good looking , light weight sinple sports car. I tell myself all the time I need to find some one that needs subject matter to video ,edit and post.
I have no interest in that hell after Im done playing in the garage. Id rather plug in my guitar and play some blues .That is imore fun to me then video editing.So I give you guys credit we have a creative builder and a creative vlogger that work well together.
I worked in a movie theatre when the 240 Z first came out.One of the ushers , grand mother bought him a white 240Z .I was so completely jealous as I was driving my first build a " bug eye " Sprite. That Z was like a Ferrari Daytona in my eyes. Ive had in the past owned 8 First series Z cars from 70s- 78.
I still love them for being roomy for a six foot Anerican but small enough like a porsche to be agile in traffic. And as unique and good looking from every angle. Its a shame they are being exported out of the US an sold over sea
Andy Leonard another contributing factor into not making molds would be the amount of space they would take up, I already have a huge section of the shop devoted to storing all the molds I've made for the products I sell. I agree the tooling gelcoat and faom are not bank breakers but this method for what im looking for as an end product work best for me. I appreciate the knowledge though
nice video man, subscribed.
Dude so sick!!! Datsun is def on my list. After this polar vortex is over Iâm starting my e90 2jz swap, convertible and 2 door conversion. Basically going to be my version of the super car I have in my head (visually) come check it out dude!!! Keep up the good work!! đ
This guy is amazing. Take all my money. I have 4 c10s and 2 camaros
Good video man. I really like how you shoot it. Iâm started up a channel and I really want my videos like this. đđŸ
Ur the first in the world making own carbon fiber car....so lucky
Que chingon contenido
Came cause I wanted to learn how to make panels for my k24a home made f1 style car. Stayed cause of how DOPE this project is
Looking good. I wanna fast forward to next week's video. Someone needs to put me in a damn coma.
Nice to see the DYI carbon work going on with your 240 build. Curious what clear you intend on sealing it up. ive done a few wet layup, vacuum bagged carbon hoods and trunks over the years and have had mixed results depending on the clear. Make sure you seal the underside with a coat as well engine temps seem to cause aditional off gassing with Westsystems epoxy. helps to heat up the part and make sure its fully cured before you clear it.
Bad ass!!
Rocking the Tiger Woods get up lol I like it
Always fun to go back in time watching our old vids lol
work of arts in progress
Subscribed!
brodie I appreciated u throwing those camera suggestions out there, could u tell us the specs u shoot video with?
my eyes are feasting on this.
Not sure I get what you guys are doing, but are you just epoxying CF to the existing body panels for strength and look? Or what is the goal?
đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„
good videos man, i'm crushing this series
Farquad be burnin it down đ€Ł
I use that string trying for pvc roofing so I donât have to measure both ends. I find one of the strings cut a v and pull the v with the string at the point of the v and the string will actually cut through one layer of the pvc and I use that as my guide to cut the rest in a perfect straight line.
very interesting techniqe on carbon fiber lamination. Is this something that can be done to other parts,i.e. a crack dash,etc..??
Pretty talented! I'm sure you know but yall could make a killn if yall started producing carbon panels.
0:01 funniest shit ive ever seen
Dopest channel on CZcams
just came across your channel...read the title and subbed. This is radd, approx how much would you expect to pay for a roll of carbon fiber like that?
Video looks great!
This build better blow up it's so sick!
Subbing to see the final master piece.
No thank you đ
Nice
That isnât making a carbon fiber panel, that is wrapping a panel in carbon fiber
Yeah this was a waste of my time.
Watch farther in the series. He's using the car as a mold to make carbon panels
Until he cuts out the metal quarter panel and replaces it with the carbon fiber.
@@realgenericuser9169 Shameily that's what I'll be doing very soon, to my 2012 Dodge Challenger Sxt. I don't have videos only pics.
You can make a mold of the car and the take a pic in solid works and render a whole ah carbon 3d car
Them wide ah yt gurls in da back doh hell yeahâ€â€â€â€â€â€â€
You guys should start making some stickers and merchandise for this build!
Awesome work guys I'd love to support!
question I am considering attempting to make carbon door cards from a 89 MK3 supra. The old panels were made from like a card board composite. Does the origonal viny need to be ripped off to make the fiberglass mold? I can not find much info on it. I figured they would need to be because the vinyl will leave a texture in the mold right?
planning on doing my 88 Supra body in carbon, so he fixes the body panels sands it smooth and then puts resin over the panel let it dry and then waxes it and then more resin to a tack than the carbon fiber? what does the first layer of resin do over the panel? What type of UV resin is he using?
This man is a fucking god.
Street Bandito would love to see a video on a complete start to finish panel. Every step along the way. I would like to try my hand at the process.

DMV Represent! Moco!
3:13 so satisfying
hahahaha....I've watched a number of your vids...this dude LOVES talkin about etched primer...LOL. Every time...."etched primer, gotta be etched primer for bare metal, no other primer, etched primer" Need a screen alert for the "etched primer" talk every time he gives it...haha.
Just wondering how many layers dud you end up doing and what grade carbon did you use ?
subbed where you guys located?
Do you guys offer discount codes for fiber glast? I have a project I need supplies for..I'm ordering from them regardless but I didn't know if you had a commission code.
loveing this, we are actually hoping to pick up a 240z here in the next few months possibly. always loved them. great build, great video. đ
Street Bandito 240z gang
Hey, guys, it's Sam here wondering how many layers of carbon fiber is that door skin? Just wondering as use were carrying it to set on the frame, looked pretty solid.
Any details on those wheels? Are they 17INCH BBS style 5 3-piece conversions ?
Yo this carbon skill is tight. Also quality is amazing dude.
Might say fuck it to the a7s ii idea and just cop this lmaoo
Artsy. Me likey.
you need to increase that Fstop ti like 3.5 it will look better
Hey man I subbed to your channel and I hit the Bell it's what I call "The CZcams Trifecta" and I am going to share it with a buddy & we do car's together. We just got burned by guy in Newark DE on a Datsun Roadster! He wants to go to the DIY carbon fiber route and trying to get the 411 from people who are actually doing and not just riding the couch!
I looked up your address on Google Street View and any of Sisson Street near the Harbor ain't gonna have a John Deere backhoe and a billboard post! I got on the Map and I'm clocking you at 28th and Sisson Street by the long reptile mural on the bridge! I'd been looking at the block wall in the part of the shop most of the work was being done and I knew that I knew that place! I've worked at Baltimore Auto Body back in the day! The old owner had a POS basket case 356 by that post! The DC Sniper & Boy Robin were in the parking lot of the double D across the street and BCPD didn't run tag, just moved 'em along until a trucker at a prayer meeting in Frederick was not sitting on his hands, but he didn't get none of the reward đ°! Do you still have anchor pots in floor? We used a power tower to great effect before I-CAR standards were a thing or even the Internet to let you know when it was! I'd used my first plasma cutter there! Putting Mobtown on the map for something good! So is Tim Hicks the customer & the fabricator? Can an old skool guy drop in with coffee?
Just curious as to why you let the first layer of resin tack before adding the carbon rather than doing "resin - carbon - resin" all at once like with fiberglass?
Jayden Tarnowski allowing the resin to get to a tacky state allows him to lay the carbon EXACTLY where he wants it so the weave lays in the way he wants it. Doing wet resin - carbon - wet resin on a vertical panel would allow the weight of the carbon to pull the weave down and mess up the straight rows
@@truemenimprovedaily with dry cloth putting carbon over a tacky surface will only lead to weave distortions (you can see them clearly in other videos) and this is usually done after the suface coat has lost its tack and keyed so the carbon can be laid and moved to try and remover or minimise distortion then resin is put over the top as this is a wrap/skin and not a carbon part. They should have pigmented the surface layer black too and the PVA coating is a total waste of time unless they ARE making an actual mould.. Its wrong in so many ways,..
Good
New subscriber. I FUCKS with this. Legit man! STAY SAVAGE
this is about to be the siclest 240 ever
Which type of Resin are you using from Fiber Glast?
iâm thinking about doing this on my conquest TSI
Time: 10:38 (I'm so excited, I watch Tim there and I want to do this for such as very-very long-time. My car has been in the garage on stands for a year, making my quarter Panel form on top of the real panel. The form I am making is with a form board 1/8 thickness, which will be 1-1/2'' outer from the real panel. I already purchased my carbon fiber, from what I see here is a thickness of 4-layers, so 3-layers can be a cheaper price range, whereas then my final top finishing layer I can choose, where it will cost more.
Change the color of your car with carbon without dyeing
czcams.com/video/aL5hFhQ6Dqk/video.html
What resin have you guys used to mold the 1/4?
Wait hold on, if youâre laying carbon fibre on top of the original body, will the fitment still be correct?
Automobili Photographer Iâm confused are they just skinning the car with Carbon or are they actually replacing the panels?
@@london6580 Theyre laying it on the outside, removing the molded carbon fiber, then cutting all but the very edges of the existing metal panel out. Then they epoxy the carbon fiber panel to the remaining edge of that cut metal. So yes, the CF panel is a millimeter or two bigger than the original.
That LS400 doe
Keep the footage coming Lil homie.. My dad lives in bmore.. I would love to see that car in person.. Keep Grindn
how about epoxi sealer primer? epoxi sealer primer is aplied directly to bare metal with a 80 grid sand off first.
Why not use epoxy primer instead of self etch? Epoxy also sticks really well to bare metal
What epoxy did you use to bond the carbon to the door?
Awesome stuff guys! Do you have an Instagram we can follow?
AT 11mins it looks like heâs on that A1 đ„ đđŒ his jaw tho đ
So youâve skinned the rear quarters with carbon ,you havenât made rear quarter carbon replacements ?
Was the carbon fully wet out and consolidated??
Check out Eastwood's NEW Scroll Air Compressor!! The Dino in the back room want's set free!
I'm a new subsciber
Street Bandito that's a nice ls400 in the background also
great video...had my first 72 240z for $100....person i bought it from could not diagnose. When i got to it...cracked fuel hose was the case. Nice background muse...who's the artist or ARtist's.
"One word to note"....Nissan please bring back the same vintage style in every way, with modern comfort, performance power and balanced pedigree,
What kind of liquid you guy using on the quarter panel the one with the brush before using the carbon fiber ?
Resin
If you're carbon skinning, why would you add more than one layer?
theyre not skinning it, theyre using the fender itself as the mold
PICKLE RICK!!!!!
He's actually right about etch primer, found that out through fucking up an SS chrome bumper lol
How much was the weight reduction? How much do you currently weigh?
