Yea, alright so I forgot to wax it !!!:rolleyes:
I knew last night, when I see the wax sitting on the table.
I was just hoping it would be alright...


Second time round it's all OK.




Now comes the interesting bit, doing the modd...:D

May I ask, why are you widening it??

Is it a special extra wide chassis?

Cheers

Dude,
Cut the scuttle in the middle then clamp it to your chassis, place yer splash mould on top and by whatever means you can clamp the two halves together then carefully flip it on its side and glass it up....jd as they say. Once cured pull splash mould off and have a go with some filler...;)

Sounds like a plan..
Cheers for all the advice.

I'll let you know how it went...


David

It's fun turning runny stuff and some weird material into solid things that folk then turn into cars, nice to see the finished thing too.:)

OK, question from a newbie/thicky. What is a splash mould?

dogwood 21st October 2009 12:58 PM

Probably not the right person to answer this, but

If you look at my pics, that is what I understand as a splash mould.
I put a couple of layers of glass over the scuttle to act as a mould when I widen it, so it still matches to the original...


David...


Mind you I could be wrong...:eek: :D
