1988 Cavalier,widebody build,one piece flip ip front clip...a long drawn out build...


Recommended Posts

Dude-

Now that you have the bottom/skin/base pretty much setup (I know that's FAR from ALL of it)...

...how you gonna fill it? (I assume it won't be hollow) foam it and carve/sand it down...then glass over it so it's not "hollow" inside? Then filler+shits tonns of sanding and then paint?

I'm just guessin here.

Looks silly NIIICE man.

(I havn't reg'd over there yet...since I have nothing worthy to contribute yet... but you can tell Steve@AudioConcepts He may be edging RAY and YOU out as my new hero...srry guys-but that Lincoln truck was amazing, not to mention the chevy truck "how to" on a 2 part mould.) :blink: omfg

Just saw this, and was peepin the whole build.

.....

Your fuckin crazy Tim.

Lines look good, layup is great, not burnin' or missin'.

Shit, looks like someone fabbing to make molds and sell them.

Are you gonna glass in nut-serts to attach it to the car?

For sanding do you shape blocks that conform to the piece or just hit it by hand?

Ive seen people glue down sandpaper to the mold, and scrub on it with a block of foam, untill the shape is in the foam.

Then spray glue sandpaper into that foam block, and begin sanding onto the new piece.

If that makes any sense at all.

Well Ive got projects callin me.

talk to ya soon Tim, Keep it up man.

thanks alot bro.....another one whos input....means alot.... :)

the side skirts will be molded......and the nose and tail will use the factory mounting pouints...

the sandpaper and foam idea....makes total sence.....and its a damn good one too........

thank you
