Making My Own GT3 Style Aluminum Uprights!

[@fdu5454]

You make fellow Cayman owners proud Great car and progress

[@FATBOY2222]

I really am impressed & love that you are making it yourself instead of buying. I’m in the middle of restoring OEM nsx Fat Five wheels down to bare aluminum - sanding curb rash, etc....really enjoying the learning experience. Keep up the great work. Love seeing Sal!

[@SummitLife]

Getting your hands dirty and doing the work yourself is fun!!

[@FATBOY2222]

SummitLife : you are a real inspiration, Clayton!

[@Quirkitecture]

You want to go counter clockwise on the outside of the piece and clockwise on the inside holes. It's the way the router pulls, if you go the opposite way your fighting against it. The way I remember is visualize a wall clock, If your routering inside the clock go clockwise the way the arms are going, if your doing the outside of the clock go counterclockwise.

[@SummitLife]

That never crossed my mind! I wonder if that would have made a big difference!

[@Quirkitecture]

@@SummitLife Yea it usually gets shaky and you have a lot of resistance if you go the wrong way. I would give it a try on a piece of scrap it should make a big difference.

[@WOOD04100]

Great point. Also don’t for get you need to know if the bit is center cutting or not. It define how the cut is made too.

[@PorscheTech]

Well done 👍🏻

[@litoaz]

What you need for the router is a pattern/template router bit for non ferrous metals and slower speed setting on the router. That type of bit has a bearing that rides on your template and creates perfect copies. Or maybe a scroll saw or band saw but that requires more skill. Good luck!

[@SummitLife]

Just leaning as I go!

[@carlossanchez9739]

That is gonna be the best wing ever it’s turning out great

[@surftribe2404]

Looks awesome so far! FYI next time cut the aluminum as close to the shape you want as close as possible with the jigsaw then use the templet and the router to clean up the edge, so the router is only taking off as supper small amount of material. Also use a cutting solution to keep the bit cool and cut faster.

[@Garcia-lu7nb]

That’s awesome you’re definitely onto something good can’t wait till the next video. Really learning a lot thanks for explaining the whole process.

[@CrazyCowboyBuilds]

Love the SNOW! Except for work I’m sure. Glad you’re staying at it with the project buddy

[@DeciXmus]

You make me want to build cool things! You're awesome, keep up the great body of work.

[@dccar1]

You could try circular patterns on them , use a small piece of round sand paper attached to a drill. Check it out it looks great for something like this project.

[@craigcharles699]

Looks good dude, love the fact your making it yourself 👌🏻👌🏻

[@renesanchez5333]

Great job!

[@blizsgarage8487]

Good job. Great diy car mod.

[@hendeeze]

At first, I thought you were gonna wrap that foam brick in vinyl and was SMH. But you're gonna vacuum form it? Legit man!

[@jameswsnr]

Awesome to see this coming to fruition! Looking forward to seeing more man!

[@damianmorningstar4127]

Skipped my criminal law studies to learn something really cool here, thanks for the knowledge!

[@Mu2driver]

Hey man, Good job going for it, next time lay down either masking tape or masking film first on the aluminum, then make your marks, then do your cutting, it will keep the aluminum from getting so many scratches. Anyways keep up the good work man

[@mikenormandy9250]

Bruh! this is amazing! Thanks for the lesson today! Learned something new!

[@Donald_Shaw]

Yet another great video. Thanks!

[@sam_95]

I might go make a homemade wing now!👍 Great vid!👌

[@mikeguitarification]

For aluminum, the thin teeth will quickly fill up with metal. You should use large teeth wood cutting blade.

[@bruins1itall]

Hi, great job, keep up the great work!

[@100thomasmagnum]

Man...good job. You should think about doing more and marketing them on line.

[@HarrodsGarage]

Nice work Clayton. I love doing custom parts for my cars as well. Wish I had a cayman maybe a 718 though 😬

[@BingBangBrine]

Definitely paint them black

[@jaydenhalsall]

Love you vids keep it up👌🏼

[@timmacdonald2107]

U can use a skill saw to cut aluminum, and lube the metal when u cut it

[@nyfure7731]

It's getting interesting every video

[@henryfarron7483]

Love your channel mate

[@reekster4998]

Make you some SAL logo side blades for the wing... that would be sweet

[@joseduarte6631]

Love your videos👍

[@drivemyexotic5274]

Those wheels look great. Any spacers or just perfect backspacing? Nice job on the risers too!

[@SummitLife]

I got my wheels off a guy locally here in Utah. They were aftermarket and off a 911 C4S. They just barely fit Haha rears are 305 wide

[@PCayMan]

I'd love to 3D print spars etc to add, theoretically should be quite simple 😅

[@robertmaddock1813]

Hello fella, looks good... how about anodising the aluminum black (instead of painting). From my experiences at work you can also 'hard anodise' in black for a more scratch resistant finish.

[@SummitLife]

Thought about that! Not sure what I'm going to do

[@robertmaddock1813]

either which way, sure you'll sort it. I think your Cayman looks quality with your grey wrap ... I'm still thinking should I invest in SoulP headers .... headers v heart etc!

[@Shadow-bp8ts]

Nice

[@crazyfun3163]

I used to have those beats! =)

[@asterionse4769]

Big Wang coming soon

[@spontaneousartistry4304]

Hey man, have you found a solution to the aux jack problem yet? I'm trying to get my own 2007 Porsche Cayman S, but from what I can find, there is no way to have an aux cord. Love your how to videos, and you seem to really know stuff about Caymans, so I'm hoping you know what to do about the aux

[@SummitLife]

I just use a cheap FM transmitter off Amazon lol

[@spontaneousartistry4304]

@@SummitLife lol, I guess that works 😂 could you maybe do a quick how to video for it?

[@CO-go1sd]

I could never live there

[@MarkBrenner]

Hey buddy what camera and mic set up do you have?

Wonder what sor5 of routers are you in a CnC machine?

Wide body!

[@richiethev4623]

Probably saving yourself about $2000.00 dollars making your custom wing.

Hello keep up the good work man say hello to stradman James for me

You could probably come up with a better design yourself.
