The ducktail looks amazing but will you be making one to fit the 03-04 boxster models?
|
I am already working on a smaller version, hopefully will have pictures by early next week.
yellow986s......not sure what you mean by "having the sides blend with it" As soon as the molds are complete for these two I will be doing the 03 as well. |
Joe thanks for the additional pics of the duck in the up position but I will stick with my opinion that for my taste it is too tall. But you can put me down for a shorter version. I think you have done a fantastic job with the shape and overall appearance but that shape and curve blending will be different when it is shorter.
To my taste the taller version would be great for a track car but for a street car looks too " ricer " . No offense to those that like it . If you produce both sizes the free market will choose which version is a better seller. How sturdy is the install ? Would you recommend the end user to use automotive adhesive in addition to the OEM rivets/screws ? One last thought, not to be a safety nazi but does the tall ducktail impede the vision to the upper brake light when in the raised position ? In this litigous society we live in don't put yourself in a position to be sued because your ducktail blocked a brake light. I am looking forward to seeing pics of the shorter version. :cheers: |
PM sent for details and to place an order

I'd like to see it extended without the original front and rear covers now. Just the pistons. I think I like it.

I like the shape and corners, but it's too extreme for me. I'd like something about 1/3 of that height, when the tail is down. Please let me know if you make these for sale. Following...

Here are a few pictures for the downsized duck tail. I made this pattern to a higher standard, closer to being ready for converting to mold stage. This one compared to my first attempt is way more subtle....I think I like it.
I will post more pictures on my Facebook page. Would appreciate feedback before I make the mold. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1467646443.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1467646473.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1467646522.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1467646573.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1467646631.jpg |
Absolutely beautiful. Well done x1,000,000
|
Perfect!!!!
|
Now we're talking !!! That looks real nice and is scaled much better. So I'll be the first to say how about a group buy for forum members ? You state a price for 10 people to purchase............save a little more if 15 sign up.......save a little more if 20 sign up you get the idea. Helps the buyers on end cost and helps you meet whatever min buy makes it attractive for you. Are these fiberglass ? Any wood core ? You using OEM fasteners ? Have you had your test mule up to 100 + speed ? Just curious if any ill side affects ? I am REALLY looking forward to getting one of these for my Boxster GT3 wanna be !!! :D

Well done sir.
|
The only issue I see is that from the back the top curve doesn't follow the bumper line. It needs to have a slight curve to it. It appears almost straight (when the edges are turned up).
See the green line in the attached photo http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1467666386.jpg |
I LOVE IT!!!! If you are planning to sell these, sign me up please.

mack73..... sorry I'm not understanding what you mean. "follow the bumper line" and "a slight curve".
Can you please try to explain to me again call me if it's easier 604-329-9391 I do want to get this as right as possible. Thanks, Joe |
Amazing work! I stumbled upon some of your previous aero work on other Porsches on Facebook, and they all look stunning. Do you have any plans on fabricating custom side vent pieces for the 986? I'd be very interested in that!

Thank you for the kind words about my others bits. |
I don't even like ducktails but I sure like the small one, and I definitely am.interested in the side scoops. I agree with the green line comment above, if it followed that curve I think it would look even better.
|
Sign me up when available.
Looks Fantastic! |
I like it!!! Nice work and yes I am also interested.
