TAV Posted 16February, 2018 Report Share Posted 16February, 2018 I've heard a lot of good things about Mike and his work. Just wanting to know if he is still supplying bumpers/panels. If so, what bumpers does he have? (I'm looking for something to lighten my 911sc wide body, seeing what options there are) Even better would be a contact number if possible... Thanks!

neill Posted 17February, 2018 Report Share Posted 17February, 2018 I have his panels on my car. Bonnet, front guards and both bumpers. Like all fibreglass it will need some work. But it wasn't so bad. Mike Tankard - 0418519638 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR901 Posted 17February, 2018 Report Share Posted 17February, 2018 I’ve got his panels on my pre 73. Local, good bloke to deal with and good quality... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 17February, 2018 Report Share Posted 17February, 2018 I used his panels on my car as well, and like @neill said, they still require some work, but overall they are better than most. My front bar was way off though, and took a bit of work to sort out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonoF Posted 6March, 2018 Report Share Posted 6March, 2018 @MFX - hey Jeff, if it don’t mind sharing, what kinda money did you pay for hood, ducktail, front guards, front bumper, rear bumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 6March, 2018 Report Share Posted 6March, 2018 I don't remember exactly off the top of my head, but it was in the ball park of $400 per panel (some were more, some were less). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

symsy Posted 14March, 2018 Report Share Posted 14March, 2018 Report from panel dude .. Dead easy.. cut outs for exhaust needed and a bit of finishing for paint but easy .. However the car did already have a widebody and some existing glass bumpers on it so many brackets reused... MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAV Posted 14March, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 14March, 2018 Thanks for the feedback @symsy. After hearing that, I think I’ll pull the trigger. On another note... are you doing rs carpet or anyone else for that matter? I’m about to do mine, but not sure how much sound deadening to put back in... hmmm Time for another search and perhaps a new thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went down deep into the sound deadening rabbit hole, and did a lot of research. If you search through my videos I go into detail. Baiscally covering everything in Dynamat is not the way to go. You need strategically placed Dynamat syle pieces, which dull panels resonation, but to really quiet things down you need insulated (with closed cell foam or CCF), mass loaded vinyl (MLV). But that adds weight, so you need to balance how far you really want to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got a painted half cage going in and every time it gets taken out and put back in, it scratches at the joining points. So we’re going to do the carpet while we are there. And now it’s a bit of a rush to decide on sound deadening, carpet etc. Want to keep it light, but don’t want to need hearing aids in a couple of years either...

Cheshire Cat Posted 8February, 2021 Report Share Posted 8February, 2021 Ok, I gave Mike a call. He did respond to email though so, any way of contacting him is good, but phone call probs would be better. He couldn`t help me with the GT2 decklid though but he`s still in business.
