Chris Brown:
The name you know of
A little bit change now your boy done blown up
And I’m doing things that gets exposed
Stunting aint a thing to me
And it’s obvious it’s plain to see
That you gone make us both
Get into some things
That’ll scare grown folks
Shi* they might even say
You should leave me alone
Don’t be scared
You need to get like me
Stunting is a habit
Just gotta have it
Shawty can throw anything at me
I’m gonna bag it
When she sees the carrots
They real just like a rabbit
Can’t no other boy
Do the things you like
He aint your type
Change your life
But if you did your homework
Girl I’m pretty sure you know what I got
Drop top singing know Jones and Banner gonna roll
Let me stop
Stunting is a Habit

ALright heres an update on the lip, I still have to snap some pics of where it is now bt the home stretch is in view,,,

So the las ttime we left off with me building up hieght out of styrene, it had a pretty major wrinkle in it so I cut that out and replaced it,,,



My timplate for the crvature of the rise,,,












New piece less of a wrinkle,,,


filler...
















Now just to resolve the corners of the rise, then hollow out the bottom alittle for the tape,,,

thats a tough question to answer,, this is one of the hardest things Ive built, suprisingly, the size and length made it extremely difficult to keep consistant,,, Its still not perfect and once it is Ill figure out how to reproduce, it will most likely need construction a a silicon mold then Ill have to figure out what material the pour will be I was thinking a very stiff durometer rubber that way fitment would always be perfect and maintain its shape as well,,,
but our vaccumm injectoin machine's tray isnt wide enough so it may be some kind of resin,,,

yeah I know, Ive been stalling on those because there are some materials Ive never used before. Once I lay them in glass the tricky part will be bonding the glass to the aluminum fender. There are three materials that I have researched that I have yet to use and have no experience with that can do this, one by 3M, one called VetteBond used to bond glass fenders to sheetmetal on Vettes, and another one that doesnt have as nice a rep,,,

Ill get on it soon,,,
