Kamming a sedan GrandPrix
2 Attachment(s)
Looking at http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...read-9040.html got me thinking about adding a Kammback to my 03 Grand Prix. I think I would be able attach one with double sided adhesive like used to attach rain guards.
The template I'm using is. Attachment 6583 With adding a kammback/partial kammback I'm not sure what line to use, so I attached this picture to get comments on what to follow. Attachment 6584 I figure that I will end the kammback at the line in the window on number two. I think the best option will be #2 or 3 but would like to insight on this be fore I go to work on it. |
photo scale 1st!

After that,what you did with the #2 image seems to capture the maximum roof height and location with the template correctly. Once your image scale is correct,you're good to go! |
# 2 looks like the right shape. I that the car will look great with it!
what material are you going to use? double sided tape holds nicely to colorplast, hot glue works well too. |
Phantom, have you seen Groar's Uglyback? It keeps a sedan's trunk functional, but I'd like to see a hinged extension on that...

Aero I was using the out side edge to line up I see where the template is not perfect at the bottom but I think that is from the picture not being level. I was mostly using it for a reference and to get opinions on what angle to take it at as I will have to later figure out what real world curve that will be.
I will start with card board and then move to colorplast. Weather thanks for the hot glue tip although I do not know how that would hold up to cold but I might do that for testing. If I get really ambitious I might eventually try to make a fiber glass version but that probably will not happen. Piwoslaw I have seen the uglyback that is about what I am aiming for function wise. The Kammback will be more of an upper spoiler and have some of the shading effect of a louver. Some of my requirements are to have a fully accessible trunk, keep 95% of the rear visibility, and keep it looking semi-stock. The last two requirements is why I referenced your thread Piwoslaw. I guess my next step is to figure out the angle of the rear glass to the angle of the kamm so I can make a triangle to use for setting the final angle. Then start fitting the cardboard to the curve of the glass. |
