So I finally started making the mold for the cover, like I said I was about six months ago (need an 8 day week not 7). I was going to do one for the sami first but there seems to be more demand for the Track/kick, around my area anyways
 It should still take me a couple of weeks to finish but when I'm done the mold they'll be coming out like MacDonalds(1million served) I'm not trying to get rich quick or anything, buddy of mine challenged my custom skills and in my circle you can't just turn the other cheak. If I get the fire wire thing I need for the camera I'll post pics ( computer caveman)

Computer Caveman   LOL

You got a Mac ?

Wild

 No, It's made by LG, I got a canon digital cam cord but it didn't come with the hook up thingy and my computer guy says I gotta buy this board or something so I have somewhere to plug the fire wire whatever into.

All I know is the camera brought me up but
this compter thing is bringing me down

Steve

LG ??  does it run Windows ?
if so I woould hope it has a
USB port, someplace, and you
could plug in

How old of a Computer is it ??

 It runs windows XP, the computer guy says it's standard to use the fire wire because the USB port is way to slow ( brand new cam, 3 yr old computer)
I guess it's like trying to use a remote control on and old black and white TV ( doesn't sound that bad until you see someone actually trying it)

Why can't computer stuff be like tools, metric or standard and no grey area (new stuff/old stuff)  

Well I don't know much about PC and such.
But to make it eas to download pics into the PC I bought a fancy printer that has memory card slots.
Take pics with camera, take out pic card and plug into Printer.
Well, really it's a HP 2410 all in one combo.
printer,fax,scanner.and copier.

This way,even I couldn't goof it up.
Plug and play

USB isn't that slow, FireWire might be twice
the speed, but USB is fine for pics, Hell I still
use a Parallel port to upload Pics to my computer

Wouldn't the seatbelt posts get in the way? or do you remove them? Sound really cool though, I'd really like to see some pics.... hehe Why firewire? what's wrong with USB?

Need Input

    Are we talking a rear tonneau for the Kick? I was thinkin of something like that for project Rally Kick...cough mit der details!

Firewire is indeed much faster than USB 1.0, but it's pretty close to the same speed as USB 2.0, which came out a year or so ago (pretty much commonplace now in new computers).

 It's similar to the ones for the sami's (with the little trunkand back window)
As for the pic topic, the cam is digital video with still picture as an option. This is why they tell me to go fire wire (something about alot of info for video on the USB)


Steve

they sell really cheap digi cams now, thats how i got mine and i think it works fine.  after you first get it going its real easy, its just getting started thats the hard part.

USB 1.1 is 12Mbps
Firewire is 400Mbps
USB 2.0 is actually 480Mbps
so makes USB2.0 faster than Firewire, but there is now
Firewire II that is 800Mbps, but I haven't seen it on a PC yet.

For all purposes I like Firewire for most things, just because drives easily power themselves on the bus without an external power supply, but for pictures USB 1.1 is the norm and works perfectly fine, I have a 512mb card and no hangups downloading over USB1.1 at all.  In fact I still have an old camera that is serial...

Ok, more than anyone wanted to know.....sorry...

 Just in case anyone was wondering working with fiberglass really sucks  
I got the mold for the back part almost finished and dreading doing the roof part ( more fiberglass )

I was thinking of offering these in primer only (ready for prep and paint) should they be offered in black or white like the current tops are? Didn't want to offer painted, to much of a pain if I deliver and it's a shade off.

Opinions?

Steve

Get a USB cable for your digicam and you won't have to buy a new motherboard with Firewire.

Good luck.
