Tires are hiding in terror...

Going to kill all tires.. lol

Well finally got my Rivnut tool in the mall.. So know I can install all 24 rivnuts for my overfenders..




More pics on the install by the end of the week

That's a slick little gizmo, the ones I saw work like a pop rivet tool That one can install much heaver duty rivnuts

Yup that is why I picked up this little thing.. I am installing 6mm steel rivnuts..

I do have the other design tho, but not metric..

Where did you get that tool from?

Got it off ebay...

Okay finally got to installing my Rivet nuts, but first lets talk beer...





So I have not been drinking beer a lot lately, trying to cut back.. don't need that beer gut.. With that being said, I had to show case this local TX beer brewery.. Thirsty Planet Brewery, Now I just went there on a beer tour and had a blast. My favorite beer out of the bunch had to be their Smokey Porter. This was absolutely mind blowing. Every season they choose a locate TX BBQ spot for the Smokey Porter and the beers contained malts smoked by them.. The beer it self smelled like a BBQ joint. I just feel in Love with this beer.



lets start with the rivet nuts them self. I decided to do 6mm Steel Rivets. Wanted the Steel so they don't strip on me.



Here is the tool I am using to install them. And before everyone ask why not use the other hand tool like a rivetgun. Well I do have that tool too but it is in standard sizes and would be a bitch to install steel rivetnuts.



I already mocked up the fenders with your normal rivets so the holes were there, but need to be bigger to install the rivet nuts. Nothing a drill can't solve





Picked up a socket to drill bit adapter so I can use my drill to install them.. Used a 11mm socket





Getting ready to install the rivet nut. You are going to hold down the tool cause its going to want to twist on you if you don't





This is what it looks like once you have completed the install.




All you have to do is unscrew the 6mm from the rivet not add.....





BAM!!! we got a nice little rivet nut..




After I installed all 24 rivet nuts, 12 on each side. I mounted the over fenders.




The other side






At the moment I am using these temp allen bolts to make sure everything is good.. Later I will install these:





NEO Chrome bolts.. should look pretty good..

So I just linked up with a guy named Shawn that does a lot of CF work for Indy cars, we are going to be working on a few things on the Z but the first thing that is up to bat is my EndPlates. Here is a little tease on what we are working on for my Endplates for the BCL wing. I am mocking up some designs now and Shawn is going to do his thing to make these things badass. Can't wait..

So here is another pic of the end plates I design.. Mocked up the wheels to see how it would look also





Also please note that those are not the arms I am running.. Going to be running the Solid/Manly ones

Now just have to make the other side and send off to get made in CF.. Can't wait for this

If your were going for Gangnam style, I think you got it! That thing is huge!

I think its going to look pretty good, once the car is sitting on the ground and all one color.. We will see.

Going to be mounting my tires tomorrow.. After that I can get the car dialed in at the alignment shop and finally hit the dyno..

Need a alignment so bad.. In this pic I am trying to dial in the ride height. What you guys think low enough..

That's killer! You are creating a monster!
