I made some more progress on the dash lid today even though it was only 13 degrees out. I need some more heat to help the fiberglass resin to cure!
Looks like there are some 18-19 degree days coming up, so I'll have to take advantage of those days as much as possible.

Tim, do you mind me asking how you secured those sponsors and how I could do the same?
Especially for the rims.

MrWright79 (9/12/2014) Tim, do you mind me asking how you secured those sponsors and how I could do the same?
Especially for the rims.
Typically sponsorships (like mine) are not full sponsorships. Full sponsorships are very rare. Usually you will get some kind of discount or at dealer cost so that they don't lose money.
Back in the day, car parts companies would give out full sponsorships, but after the recession hit it was a different story.
You will need to pull together a sponsorship proposal. Essentially you need to tell them what they are going to get from you for sponsoring you with a discount. Basically a business proposal. Things like what kind of exposure will they get. For instance I've had a quarter million hits on my blog, thousands of followers, plus they will be listed on any of my display material when taking the car to shows, etc.
Their sponsorship will be based on the value that they see in your proposal. Sometimes it can be a bit tricky as well since WB is involved and folks may wonder about the legal nature of your project.

Full sponsorship is really tough. I have several businesses that help me but it's basically parts at their cost. I had to write up a long letter explaining how the car was going to be used for children's charities and other events where the car would be used in a non profit way for myself. I want no grief from WB.
Seems I have a bat in my belfry

Nitro (9/16/2014) INSPIRATION
That's the goal
I'll have to do some more shaping and grinding on mine to get that nice "swoop" from the bottom of the window down to the edge of the canopy

I was able to work on a few different fiberglass projects yesterday in the beautiful weather and I was finally able to finish off one pesky project.
The trunk lid vents are now all sealed in and should be nice and water tight. I'll have more on the other projects later
