    new spoiler project

    ok might have found another spoiler this is off of a ford,I think it's an eighties mustang. it looks wierd right now because it's sitting on top of the studs,since there are no holes yet. I have to do a bit of grinding on the bottom of the part where it sits over the glass,but thats not a big deal



    I have to use a round flap wheel to create a little bit of clearance where the wiper arm sits,should be no big deal to do.

    Wow I like it a lot lost. It has the cut out for the rear wiper bade too. Just throw a little spray paint on there or get it painted with the car and it'll look real good.

    yea but I like my rear wiper,it makes it eaisier to see. I'll get it painted up after I get everything fitted. there is a ridge on the bottom edge of it where it is near the glass. I have to do some grinding on that ridge so it fits flush. I think this was off of a mustang from the eighties. the hatch on it was very close to mine. this isn't plastic eithier,It's heavy hand laid fiberglass. this actually should work,it had bracing that bolted to the inside of the hatch,I got all that too. I've always felt the hatchs were a bit squirrely in the back, a little downforce helps balance the car out and helps the rear suspension. even the old one from the nissan had some affect. I used to have a picture that showed the airflow over the back,it tumbles a bit off the back glass,this should help smooth it out and keep the air coming off the back from being so turbulent. the factory one that is part of the sheet metal on the back does this,but it's not really big enough to be effective.

    Re: new spoiler project

    well it'll be black,the entire car will be black and silver. going to keep the factory trim black. right now,I'm painting the spoiler,I had to do some grinding on that ridge on the bottom edge of it,where the old car used to line up with it. it looks like there will be a gap between the front edge of the spoiler and the body,I have a roll of 3/8 thick black neoprene that I will make a body gasket from and get rid of that gap. so far looking good. I still need to get some rubber washers,I made the spoiler mount holes oversize so I could fine adjust the spoiler where I needed it to go. I will try to get some pictures tomorrow.

    ok more pictures

    ok took a few more,tomorrow I'll work on fitting it to the car better,have to make the gasket for the front edge of it yet. I was trying to figure out where to find some material to make the stud sealing washers and it dawned on me,my mouse pad is made from 1/8 thick neoprene rubber. so tomorrow my mouse pad will be shorter.

    heavy neoprene used to make the gasket for the edge

    spoiler painted(I work fast)

    yea we were originally looking for another nissan spoiler to replace the one that got vandalized(little rotten pricks) but we couldn't find one,we looked at every spoiler in 2 yards trying to find one that will fit this hatch. I spotted this one as I was leaving,almost missed it. it's amazing how few spoilers will fit on this hatch. I know the one off of the nissan maxima will fit,but it has to be the one with the four mounting points. a lot of them have three. actually if anyone finds one like i had before I still have the four aluminum posts that allow it to fit on the hatch. it's pretty easy to do. if someone wants them,PM me and I'll send them to you for shipping cost. thse were custom made by me for mounting a four point nissan maxima spoiler on a hatch. I just hate to see them sit in a box and collect dust. I'm also selling the Led brake light that fits in the factory nissan spoiler,I figure I can try to get something out of my loss. if you want the part number on it PM me also and I'll let you know what it is. I believe it fits a variety of maxima spoilers and possibly other nissans. all the leds in it work.

    That looks nice, man! Once you paint it and get it on there it's going to be awesome!

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    Re: new spoiler project

    ok finished for now,still have to make some special nuts to be able to tighten down the end two studs. have to drill access holes and install with a screwdriver





    note: this might have been an escort,the front of the car was mutilated pretty good,did the escort have the warning center in the console like we have in the dash?
