Yesterday we visited Blackbird Fabworx in Northridge, CA to have a custom windshield header bar fabricated for the Pitcrew Roadster.  Moti did a great job turning our ideas into reality.  This modification essentially turns the existing Hard Dog Hardtop rollbar into a 7-point street semi-cage.  Do do this mod required welding captured nuts into the [...]

We had the opportunity to upgrade the black leather Lotus Elise seats in the Pitcrew Roadster to red leather Elise seats.  Considering the Lotus inspired exterior colors, we just couldn’t turn away from these! We’ll be adding some more red to the interior to match the seats later.  We’re thinking red carpet (removeable with snaps), [...]

Just in time for spring, the Pitcrew Roadster has received a new custom G-String bikini top from Project G!  Project G was running a group buy on these tops, and we couldn’t help but ordering one in custom matching colors for the car.  It keeps the sun off the shoulders during hot days, and is [...]

Here are some pics of the process… Here we see [...]

The replacement for the cracked rear glass piece arrived today.  It’s a pretty close match for the first piece…there’s always a little bit of variation in these custom made pieces, so it’s a good thing that this piece so closely matches the original.  All that’s needed is a little more sanding work to make this [...]

Today we laid the beginnings of the passenger side quarter window foundation using bondohair.  This fiberglass reinforced filler will give strength back to the fastback as well as act as a base for the quarter window glass. Notice the exposed foam underlayer at the middle/top of the glass opening.  The foam acts to support the bondoglass [...]

The foundation for the rear glass has been completed.  Although more cosmetic work will be done to blend things in further on the surface and visible areas, we’re pretty much done shaping the underglass mounting foundation for the rear glass.  Any irregularities between the mounting surface and the glass that are seen here will be [...]

Well, after a few evenings of work, we’ve finally laid down the basic foundation for the rear glass.  It looks messy now, but it’ll look better after a lot of sanding and filling cleans it up. Fiberglass was cut away to make room for the glass, foam was used to fill in the open voids [...]

For some time, we’ve thought that the rear of the Pitcrew Roadster was missing something…that certain cue that would make the rear of the car look more vintage or nostalgic.  Although the Garage Vary rear valance does look great, we though that it would really be improved with a little bit of brightwork.  We decided [...]

The rear glass piece cracked while doing some fiberglass work this evening.  That’s going to cause some delays while we get another piece made.  Luckily it’s the simplest piece of the three glass pieces, and we’ll still be able to use the piece we have for molding the hard top.  Nothing a little more money [...]
