Satoshi screw up.....poll

I was working on my satoshi, then out of no where i thought i might as well do the triangles. (iv been up all night and have been drained from studying for finals) So i screwed up cutting them out, and this project has been the first time I've ever used a dremel. Id post pics, but its so bad id be embarrassed lol. Just wondering if you guys thought it would look cool if the grill itself was satoshied, the the triangles have a "grill craft" mount to them, as in the mesh sitting flush.

 

it really does look like a 5 year old did it all...... I'm ashamed of myself. and does anyone have any tips on using bondo? I've never used it before, and some people say its a b*tch to sand and get just right on mixing with hardener...

 

you cant vote accuratly without pics.

 

no.

 

What do you mean no? Stop acting like a little kid and post some pictures...Atleast you had the balls to cut the grille up man...We want to see what you did..laugh and then the experts will probably chime in on a fix and you'll be happy..that's what this place is for...

 

i trimmed the hell out of it. one side has almost no more to trim, and is unfixable, but the other side trimmed at the right height, but i over cut one part of it.

 

How do you plan to start over then? ....pictures or it didn't happen.

 

new grill. ill post pics tomorrow

 

You can get an unpainted grill for $40 from partsgeek.com just read the post never used them though.

 

I wanna ssee pics of this but yea hell if its unfixable and you dont want to buy a grill i dont see a problem with doing it like a grillcraft and making everything flush...& bondo can be a bitch but its not bad, i would recommend scooping out a golf ball size worth of bondo and a thin line of hardener across it, when its mixed it should be a somewhat pinkish color but too much hardener and you will have like 5 minutes if that of work time with it..so just work with it a little bit and figure out the ratio to use.

 

Im not an expert on this nor do I have the guts to cut my only grill up without a replacement first. But if I personally had any questions I would ask HomerTaco.

 

Without pics there's not much anyone can say. But if you're not happy wit it, buy another grille and try again. But this time work very slowly and carefully.

 

Yours in sig looks good!

 

Yeah noone can really help unless we know what were looking at

 

If you hacked em up so much then sand it all smooth
Fiberglass the triangles back to what they used to look like
Bondo to make it all smooth and sweet looking
mount your mesh to the back with bolts that are glued on or whatever you wish
Then post pics.


Bondo is easy, the directions are on the can,
Golf ball size scoop (put golf ball next to can for reference)
then a one inch strip of hardener and mix it up for awhile,
I used a cut up soda can and a junk screwdriver to mix it.

Having a satoshi in the middle and not on the sides looks sloppy in my opinion. Take your time and do it right! (I still need to do my sides)

You will appreciate all your hard work in the end once its done. Feels way better than just buying something and bolting it on! My .02 cents

 

Thanks! I had zero auto body experience so I took the slow and steady approach. Worked on it three weekends in a row. I had to re-bondo/sand/prime a time or two, but the extra time and effort was worth it.

 

Pictures would help

 

Pic's damn it!
