Fiberglassing the rear Coupe section - Bailey Blade XTR - Part 48

[TheVidMann]

how many layers of fiberglass to build up strength also are all the layers applied at once

[lukeyboy900]

I would love to see one of these blasting down a motorway, to all you not from the uk a highway basically... What motor ya putting in there?

[xxpr0nag3xx]

dont you have to extract the extra resin? 

[BaileyBlade]

@xxpr0nag3xx No not with this type of fiber-glassing. If i were doing a vacuum form then yes i would extract and force the resin into the fiberglass using a vacuum system. I will do that later when i make the production panels.

@BaileyBlade Hey I have a question. Someone may have asked this already, Can the top be permenantly fixed to the car? Is is going to be an option? Great work

[BaileyBlade]

@joepec3105 Well there are going to be two versions of the Blade XTR, one as a Roadster with removable top or convertible hard top. And one as a Coupe like in this video. The Coupe model will be more for the Race Car drivers and competitions.

[BaileyBlade]

@ushkadush Yep lights power everything... thats one of the reasons I moved.

Thats what she said.

[BaileyBlade]

@crxforum HAHA!... I knew someone would comment on this part.

[crxforum]

@BaileyBlade Thats what she said :)

[usdrealm1]

So just so I'm clear, you're making these to sell, and not just as a one off right?

[BaileyBlade]

@usdrealm1 LOL Yes sir... I will be selling The Blade XTR once the prototype is finished and tested. The plan is to product 200 over the next few years. I have about 20 serious people on a list for when its ready.

[usdrealm1]

@BaileyBlade Well that's good. I saw that you'd spent so much on it and couldn't believe that you would have spent that much on a one-off.

[zomgbbqwth]

@BaileyBlade u are making 200 of these? you took 3 years to make 1.0 and 2.0? :)

[BaileyBlade]

@zomgbbqwth Yeah that's the plan... What I am making now is the body buck so that I can mass produce the Blade, It takes time dude. Even the main auto manufactures take several years to produce a new model and they use many crossover parts that are already designed and manufactured such as the chassis. You seem to expect a lot from one guy...

[zomgbbqwth]

@BaileyBlade i wish you success, bro~

[Piestukas1995]

Aw man, it's getting better and better. Can't wait to see the end result!

[itachi12789]

How much did this whole project cost so far??

[BaileyBlade]

@itachi12789 Honestly... well over a $100K, sofar not really sure yet, I still have about $50K to go.

[aShoe0o]

@BaileyBlade Wow now that some project. I bet most of the money is going into the parts and engineering? I'm looking into doing something like this alittle later

[BaileyBlade]

@aShoe0o Yeah it goes mostly into supply's, mistakes, and parts to experiment with and used to be rent for buildings before i moved it to my house.

[alipatu]

dude i havent seen anybody who can work as fast as you do 

[BaileyBlade]

@alipatu My shoes have little wings on them...

[Nitekiller99]

@alipatu  its all about the red bull hes drinking

[braddock001]

aww man! I wanted to see the pop off... LOL

[BaileyBlade]

@braddock001 Haha... thats next video... I will attempt to pop the section off with one hand while filming at the same time. Hopefully it won't be a new fail video.

[MRalexanator]

will this car be for production or a one off car?

[BaileyBlade]

@MRalexanator It will be a production car...
