Thanks! It took roughly 50 hours to make and perfect the mold, but it’s all worth it to make perfect parts :).

#63

Very very nice.

Just wondering how much your selling one of these? I have a friend with a Transformer Camaro here in OZ i think will like this:)

#64

Looking Good!!! Well Done!!! It’s a shame that half of it is hidden!!

#65

Looks great! Good job!

#66

That is a great mold, and great looking finished product.

#67

Thanks everybody for the great words! I’ll post more pics later of the trim jig and everything. We picked up a gel coat dump gun earlier today so hopefully that picks up production :).

#68

I’ll pm you :).

#69

I’ll pm you shortly :).

Do you have a prefered tool to trim the piece up with?

It looks real nice.

#71

good! only a question, did you used some clear gelcoat before infusion? how did you get the cf sticked to the mold?

regards.

Clear Gel Coat.

#73

For this particular product I like to trim the outside with a recriprocating saw. The inside I use a dremel.

#74

Yep! Clear gel coat with a post trim automotive clear coat. Usually 2 - 3 sessions of clear coat. That’s how we get our shine.

Just curious, do you remember about how much resin you used for the mold? my guess is about a gallon correct?
