this isnt a good step by step for someone looking to duplicate

your results.



so you did the work yourself?

Yeah I did the work with my dad, I didnt even know how to approach it so all the direction was from him. Im almost about to start helping my brother with his fc. Why is it not a good step for someone looking to duplicate it?

Because you never really did give out any instruction on how to accomplish it.Looks tight in those other pics tho.I think that wing look right at home on the car tho.

The molding marks are absolutely visible in that pic, which means they must stand out like a sore thumb on the road. Why not have the metal rebent to fill in the rail, rather than stuffing a bunch of bondo and stuff in there? Seems like a bit more work, but a much better look. Or aluminum strips welded to the body panels like a long thin patch.

anyone wanting to duplicate the mold filling should just go buy a book on using composites, there are plenty out there and if you are serious about attempting it get some reading material that you can keep on hand.



beware that it's likely the bumper skins will crack around the filling eventually, since the bumper is like tupperware and the glassing you do will end up more brittle and have different thermal expansion properties, it will probably have issues there.



but if you get replacement bumper skins that are composite throughout with the trim shaved in the mold they were pulled from, filling in the remaining sheet metal panels should work fine.



I think it looks nice except the skirts and wing.

dont worry old man i can see where the molding is too, there's like a rectangular miscolored line fiollowing the path of the moldings, at least in the pic, maybe not in real life





oh and who called that a wing? thats quite obviously the St Louis Arch thing, you dumbasses.
