Well I had a brainwave whilst snoozing last night and I have all the bits to complete my project perfectly and I know you will all love it and want to copy.

 

Just at the trial stage at the minute but whatever 'it' is, it looks very very nice - here is a sneaky peek of just a fraction of it, sure it will give it away to some who know me too well

 

Do tell!! :)

I think i know what it is and will look very nice once completed :shuriken:

Took the pic tonight Graham in the dark practically how I want them to be and they look the dogs - you do know I know as it was you that mentioned I do this many months ago and it just came to me how to execute - simples :thumbup1:

 

Do tell!! :)

 

I will not be telling Rich my boy just yet - FYI It does not include anything you have made for me for once :laugh:

your changing the light up rear pannel to say "sad ......"

Awwwwww :shock:

Whatever it is says NISSAN, I'm thinking brake lights, one says NISSAN, the other says 300ZX :D

SAN is nearer the mark but I being deliberately vague

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not an insane badge :2guns:

Mentally insane? :w00t:

Not 'insane' how chavvy do you think I am - quite hurtful is that

Whatever it is says NISSAN, I'm thinking brake lights, one says NISSAN, the other says 300ZX :D

 

Nope my friend - they are not brake lights :cool3: NISSAN correct though.

is it going under the hood ? :)

hes making some quarter panel window blinds like ive got, but they say NISSAN instead of 300zx ?

oohh, ooh - let me guess!!

 

You've made a plenum out of red glass and illuminated it inside with a Nissan sticker on it - so when you open your bonnet you can see a big red throbbing lump?? :batman:

Yes, Graham and Ian knew all along :clap: I must of been spotted at the stand eyeing up Ian's everytime I walked past :yes:

 

I shall make haste and get them done, don't see any reason why I cannot put up some pics tonight or tomorrow, seeing as you have all had a little taster :thumbup:

 

Try and control yourselves 'til then peoples

During the day - it is lit but you cannot tell, just offered in for now but will not look any different really to the finished product.

 

Bet you all want some night pics after these :wink:

 

 

 

 

This one showing the inside, very tidy I think :thumbup:

 

These are the best night shots I can get - sorry.

Don't really do it justice, I will take some camcorder walkaround footage and have everything lit up like a xmas tree!!

I will go to the Tesco covered car park tomorrow and take some pics as well.

 

 

mmm, i think.... and it would mean a bit more work, but how about getting your mate to make a plate with the letters cut out and light the letters, i think it will look stunning then, rather than, quite nice. But heading in the right direction and you know i mean any criticism in the best possible way Andy :kiss:

I think I am trying to incorporate the internal decals I have already there.

 

Quite nice will not do :thumbdown: so I have been out, too large I know, so needs shrinking down, it is offered just on the outside, sorry about the sun and oh the EL Panel is not long enough for this trial!!

 

I know the backlit chamber work I have done does look very sharp and clear so I will get a smaller plate made up, also the silver steel goes better with the car.

Also, I could go with the 'SLICKTOP', '300ZX' or 'NISSAN FAIRLADY Z' cutout on it, I would like fill out the EL strip length with letters so the slicktop could be my favourite once more.

Some covered car park vids will follow later today and I will show both 'ideas'.

Your comments are appreciated, whether it be +, -, or neutral.

Thats going to look better Andy and i think you mentioned you might get a heavier tint on the side windows, if thats the case then have the template in black so it looks part of the window when the light is off and will look stunning when lit.

 

Good work.

 

Graham

As ever thank you Graham :thumbup1:

 

I will get some darker tint and a pair of steel plates made up ( already liaised with Rich with the dimensions required) and spray them black to make all that area subtle but I will always have the EL Panel when off visible in red through the cut out letters.

 

This first video is the first option I was going to do earlier in this thread. Please note the passenger side seat control does illuminate - just that the bullet under the seat had come away :blush:

 

The second one, I had to re do tonight is the one I am going for with just a quick mock up on the outside to show. Sure you will agree does look by far the best :yes:

 

The final one just shows the gear gaitor illumination I did some time ago.

 

Hope you all like!!! Might go with 300ZX as this is what the oem ones are?

Nice Andy, the slicktop cutout definitely looks sharper, so thats the way to go.

SLICKTOP with 8 characters across better than 300ZX with only 5 but this is more like OEM?

 

Rich as sampled me both but I am undecided, about 60% swaying towards the 300ZX :surrender:

Like the slicktop logo Andy:thumbup1:
