Hey Guy's did everybody fall off the face of the earth? Or did the Apocalypse happen and I wasn't one of the lucky ones? If it did there are a lot of unlucky ones as I don't see anyone else missing either. LOL! I know it's the holiday season and everybody has a lot to do besides sit on the puter. Well I haven't been sitting on the puter, I've been building a spoiler for my Jacobra! I know it's not a Mach1, but it's a cool simple do it yourself project that can be done on any car, and as you can see it's shaped out of cardboard and if you don't like something, you can cut or reshape things as you go. It's nothing but cardboard glue together with hot melt glue. I watched a couple videos about bending and shaping cardboard there are a few simple rules but once you see how they do it it's not hard. As you can see the results are pretty neat and since they don't make a spoiler to fit the XJS directly and the universal ones would look a little tacky as far as I'm concerned. I thought what the heck, I'll make my own! What do you think? At this point I'm still working on the general shape with the details starting to take shape and trying to blend it in with the rest of the body lines. Gonna make the end pieces self standing and the piece on the trunk will have pedestals. which will allow the trunk to open normally. Hopefully it will have the appearance of being one piece. Or at least that's the plan. I'll have some more pics comming soon. Merry Christmas To all, just In case I don't get back on here before then. JTS 71 mach1
