I really like the fact that you kept the trim on the front bumper. Just adds that extra kick to it. Btw, Love the pink foam.

4.9 that is freaking awesome !! Damnnnnnnn that is hot ! That front nose is exactly the type of thing the notchies have been needing to spice them up !

The rear, the side skirts, and the spoiler are all bad ass as well !! Fantastic job.

I know you will definatly sell the nose, and most of other parts as well.

Just a fantastic, impressive job. Congratulations.



the spoiler is just the high rise spoiler of an early 90's camaro like 90-92

4.9 -

If you were wondering if the rear facia would fit on a GT - there's one here in Graham to try out on!

Looks good as well. When your ready for the possible sale of copies of 'er, please let me know. Shipping would'nt be too difficult.

I'm 1 hour North of you near Burien WA

Did the Polish, Buff, Wax, Spray Mold Release and Gel Coat and first layer of fiber glass in the bumper molds. Should have parts to give the body shop by Friday.

Fourpoint9,

How much ($) would you estimate it cost you in materials to produce these parts ?

If i may ask that is.
fourpoint9 SEP 11, 08:31 PM
Tony,
Too Hard to answer. If you mean the entire costs for the plugs, molds and all the tools and all the supplies, I've spent alot.
If it's just the parts, well, I will need to see how much resin and fiberglass I use.

If you already have a mold, the Supplies needed just to make a part are:
~Resin - is around $110 a 5 gal bucket,
~MEKP Catalyst,
~Fiberglass - Chopped Strand Mat and Woven Fabric - I bought a whole roll of fiberglass mat. which was a fraction of the price then if I bought it by the foot off the store's roll,
~Mold Release Wax,
~PVA mold release, and
~Gel Coat

Check out these websites, I even found one in your area:

http://www.fiberglassflorida.com/

http://www.fiberlay.com/
http://www.fibreglast.com/

I buy my product from fiberlay, because it is in my area, but I like the fibreglast website for how to instructions.
Read Mold Construction
http://www.fibreglast.com/contentpages-Mold+Construction-170.html
and Molding Fiberglass
http://www.fibreglast.com/contentpages-Molding%20Fiberglass-171.html
Once the molds are made the cost of making more parts will not be that bad,- it will take a few days to make each part.
This is my first time making anything out of fiberglass, there are others on this forum that have a lot more experience.
Hope this helps,
-Steve

Ha ha, Im laughing @ you becasue I just remembered the good time you had with the gel coat/primer. Cant add that into the cost. J/K. But, I hope you havent destroyed the plugs you made the molds off of yet. I think there is a stage 2 that can be grafted to them.
fourpoint9 SEP 12, 12:05 AM
I didn't do any finger painting with the primer and gel coat, but it has been a learning process.
You're going to have to come over and put on the blue gloves and spread some resin.

I'm really looking foward to see how your bumpers turn out. You're doing EXACTLY what I wanted to do with my fastback.
