Rob, i posted this on the wrong threat but i wanted to know how hard would it be to fill in the side moulding area on your 355 nose to use with an archie wide body kit. also how much for the nose and shipping to 07764. thanks al
It would be fairly simple for you to do. I would assume that the side mounting screws are blind/hidden & secured from the inside of the fenders. To fill in the moulding channel I would first pour some urethane foam into the channel, then grind down the foam & fiberglass to 3" below the channel, then laminate 2-3 strips of fiberglass, level & smooth with bondo. PM sent.
What happend to the Ferrario thread, it's been pretty quiet?
Been sick lately and uber-busy at work. Should be able to get some things done on it this coming weekend though. I'm hoping to get the mirrors mounted correctly, the headlights in, and get the new fenders adjusted.

Here's a few fresh Fi40 dash components out of the moulds before trimming & prep. . . And a console curing in the locker. Rear cpu cover with hatch ( latch components from the Fiero ) . Front of console will be modified to make clearance for the Fi40 dash lower heater vents. . . Here's a Fi355 dash getting covered. .

When you show various molds, parts, etc, can you list specific materials that you used? For instance, what materials (brand names?) did you use to make the angled guage pod mold halves and finished product out of? Are you using vacuum potting? What kind(s) of casting resin? That sort of detailed info I would find ver-r-r-r-y interesting.

Don't know if you, Amida, ever go to F-Chat, but I thought you may like this pic of a notchie-F355 type kit..... On the real pic there were a wee bit of lewd drawings, so I had to remove them........

The most challenging piece to cover is the lower dash due to the severe curvature of the piece. I take a day to first pre-stretch the hide/fabric to mold it over the piece, this will help make glueing & application, the next steps, alot easier to do. .
