Re: I'm turning my car into a Delorean
Last night I glued some zipties to the DMC logo, which messed up the paint job a ton, so I will touch it up tonight now that the glue has cured. I also sprayed the top of the rear bumper with plasti dip to complete the look. It looks nice, considering it's not a delorean
In the meantime I have also been working on other elements for the future.
Story time:
So a couple of years ago I made a 2015 jacket by hot gluing the maroon drawer liner to an old coat, but I wanted to make a nicer one as it looks pretty terrible. The hot glue was a bad idea. So back in December of 2014 I went around and bought some sweet fabric to make into the jacket. I bought some pretty nice stuff. I have a favorite jacket that I wanted to use as a pattern for everything (I don't have a picture of it at the moment). There is a semi distant family member who works in sewing heavy material so I thought this would be a good opportunity to get to know them better, learn some new skills, and give them some extra unexpected income. I made a trip up there over Christmas break and we talked about the jacket and made a paper pattern from my favorite coat. I had designed my own version of the 2015 jacket with a more modern look and my own twist. We were both pretty excited about it. It was going to be pretty time consuming so eventually I left the jacket and the fabric there for her to work on while I had to go back to school. Shortly after, there was a death in their family which was very sad to hear about. To make a long story short the jacket won't be done in time for the 21st so I'm going to my plan B: Make another one.
I found this jacket on clearance, which is a little big for me, but that's fixable.
I think I'll dye the sleeves grey, and still haven't decided if I will dye the canvas part or glue on some more drawer liner (this time the proper way). Any thoughts?
While I was out and about I found these. They might make a cheap alternative to the Pepsi Perfect bottle, although I still plan on picking one up
Sorry, for the lack of updates, I will have more updated on my actual car soon.
