Got my Bra

First of all let me say
VINCE you are so sick for what you are going to say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway came out great 3 pieces
Ill take pics tomorrow and post

Please do! I'm in need of one myself - for the car, guys, for the car.

Just be careful its tight and doesn't flap. Flapping will quickly abrade the paint worse than a few stones flying up.

this thing fits tighter then a glove
only problem today is the damn wind
i dont want to take it out of the garage for pics
ill try for some in the garage

here they are

they now have a bra format for the flared fender and the regular fender. they modified this bra model to make the model for my car

Very nice set up, Gerd!
Four questions:
Price?
Where did you get it?
How is it installed?
What's the turnaround time?

It was done by Wardlow Kustom Masks
www.wardlowbras.com
562 424-9850
562 490-3463
They are located in Long Beach right off the 405 and atlantic Exit

Cost is a tough oned as this was first for them from the normal model they had. I am bartering out with them by using my services as a CPA.
It slips over the car like a glove, has velcro straps on the inside trunk and fold over flaps under the fenders.
Takes about 3 minutes to put it on and off

Gerd,

TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I will just have to give them a call. Your right about fitting like a glove.

Gabe

Ok, Gerd, I've placed an order. These are nice folks to deal with. If the product is equally nice, I'll be more than pleased. Thanks for the tip!

Gerd
that Bra looks tighter than a Knatt's ass sitting on a lemon wedge

sorry about the spelling, I meant Gnat's ass.....

lane you will be happy with it

vince you spell like my exwife

Gerd, you mean smell?

I think he meant Swell...

Lane, I'm calling tomorrow. Were they able to accomodate cuts for fogs/etc?

hey guys
Kristine can accomodate all your needs
Guys please dont forget that you heard about her from me
thanks
Gerd

Will do, Gerd. Thanks for sharing the pics and info. Your set up looks great.

THANKS JIM
YOU WILL REALLY APPRECIATE THE BRA AND HOW IT FITS. DID U CHECK THE WEBSITE OUT? AND JUST SO EVERYONE IS AWARE THESE ARE NOT RICH CORPORATE PEOPLE. THIS IS A FAMILY THAT CONTINUED THEIR DADS BUSINESS OF WORKING WITH CUSTOM CARS. FROM WHAT I GATHER THE WIFE OF THE DECEASED FATHER STILL RUNS THE BUSINESS. VERY MUCH LIKE JOHN AT JPS, JUST DOWN TO EARTH PEOPLE THAT LIKE WHAT THEY DO AND ARE NOT GREEDY ABOUT IT.

JIM ARE MORE FULL PICS OF THE BRA

Looks good Gerd. The fit is perfect and something that should sell well. I really appreciate you sharing this with us. Good looking Speedster too.

Jim, I sent Kristina some pictures and she told me that I would have to make the cuts for the driving lights myself, but that the material wouldn't fray so there should be no durability problems. She also is sending some extra edging if I want an upholstery shop to make it look purty where I cut it. I'll probably do that just to be safe (and purty). I'll post pics in a couple of weeks when it comes in.

LANE
WE HAD TO CUT THE MATERIAL ON MINE UNDER THE HOOD AS THE HOLE WAS NOT LARGE ENOUGH FOR THE LATCH TO SEAT PROPERLY WHEN THE HOOD WAS CLOSED. SHE DID IT WITH SISSORS AND THERE WAS NO FRAYING WITH THIS MATERIAL. SHE OFFERED TO SEW THE STICHING AND I OPTED FOR A NO AS NO ONE CAN SEE IT AND IT DEFINITELY WILL NOT FRAY
GERD

SHE IS A VERY NICE LADY

Gerd, How did you get the modified fender flared size to fit properly. Im also going to have a mild front flare done on my car. Other than the standard size, how to do get her the proper measurements?

I TOOK THE CAR TO HER BUT WHAT SHE DID WAS TAKE DIGITAL SHOTS WHILE HOLDING A YARDSTICK TO GET MEASUREMENTS WHICH SHE GAVE TO HER DESIGNER. REMEMBER THEY HAVE THE STD ALREADY AND THEY NOW HAVE THE FLARED SIZE FOR THE JPS AND VINTAGE SPEEDSTERS. IS THERE A WAY YOU CAN MEASURE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR FLARE AND THE JPS/VINTAGE MODEL?

what is the ball park figure on this Bra or Bro if you happen to have a boy car....

VINCE
HAVE NO CLUE AS WE BARTERED FOR SERVICES
CALL HER OR ASK LANE WHAT HE IS PAYING AS HE ORDERED ONE
NO MATTER WHAT THE PRICE YOU WILL BE AS HAPPY WITH IT AS YOUR CAR WASHER

Gerd, I think you might have a little CAPS LOCK thing going on there, old chum. Not sure why -- hmmm?

YES I WORK IN CAP LOCK ALL DAY DUE TO THE SOFTWARE WE USE

The prices were quoted to me as follows:
$225.00 for the body (main part)
$260.00 for body and hood
$275.00 for body, hood and bumper cover

Higher than Colgan by quite a bit, but I like the design and it's much cheaper than a repaint. I particularly like the fact that I can get to the gas cap without having to partially remove the cover. The bumper cover as a separate piece will make it muuuuch easier to fit around my Marchals.

YOU'RE GETTING A BARGAIN
IM IN AT TWICE THAT AMOUNT IN SERVICES BUT I DID GET HER TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT THEY ONLY HAD AN OLD MODEL. ONCE I HAVE JOHN RESPRAY MY FRONT ILL NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE NICKS.

How different are the flares on a JPS as opposed to a CMC? More or less flared? They look close to me.

BD

I think Desi has a CMC
I did see it lasy year for a few moments But i had not taken delivery of mine and I cant recall the difference. perhaps he could give some measurements. In addition I bet John at JPS would know

Bill, my eyeball-only view is that the Vintage and JPS bodies have a more gradual flare that covers a larger area, but doesn't necessarily come out any further from the body. It's more noticeable in the rear than the front. I would think that the bra would still fit, although the gap under the bra where the flare is might be slightly larger. I'm not sure how they engineered it so that the bra fits to concave shapes unless there are bendable metal pieces at the edge of the bra material. If that's the case, I would think that it would work for you. Just to be safe, contact Kristine at Wardlow.

bendable metal pieces

I have been in contact with Kristine and she e-mailed me with this concern and said some measurements may have to be made...but as to what measurements and where, I don't know.
Gerd's car looks real similar. I'm thinking his set-up would work.
I'll e-mail John.

BD

Hey guys, if it's of any use for reference, here's some pics I have of Desi's flared body Speedy.

jim can u cut and paste that center shot with a similiar of mine so you can see the flared side by side

Hijack -- Holy Cabanaboy, Batman! This shot is the first time I've seen the brake ducts and LED-lookin' amber lights. Who/how/what the ... ?
I want a pair!
