A couple years ago a side skit demolished at a local
event battle. Me being cheap tried to fix it rather than throw it away. This was the end result. Not so pretty, but not too shabby for a rookie. Now I want to try my hand a
fiberglass work again and make it right this time.
It took a few days to get it right but I am happy with the result. I think
Yoda would have been proud. Since I got so into the work and it was quite messy that I didn't take much pictures.
All painted and looking quite pretty. It's the only part of the car that looks spiffy. I'll have to paint the whole car again.
Since I still had the resin and matting out, may as well fix a hood that also seen it's fair share fights.
Lot of the seams were cracked, so it made the hood quite flimsy. I had quite a few areas to cover to try and regain the rigidity.
I used anything I found in the back to keep pressure on the hood skeleton so that it would keep it's shape.
The job finally complete. I didn't bother working on dolling up the outside of the hood since it's got a patina that needed to remain the same. Even though it was my third attempt at fiberglass work, I'm pretty much satisfied how both parts turned out.
I won't have to throw away anymore parts.
