What this guy did is an achievement over here. It is the first car that was mostly fabbed in Leb. I don't want to critisize the fiberglass works that was done, the accuracy, the way of work done, and the amount of bondo used... but if it was I doing that project, I would have at least, done the model entirely out of CLAY first. Then used plaster to take molds out of it, then the final FG phase...

I wish I can have some schematics on a previously done similar chassis, suspension used and mechanics install know-how. That outer design I am pretty sure I can also do fairly easy, beautiful and more accurate...
Is it that he used this clay and bondo thing for a PLUG and pulled a glass copy off of it? Then he could 'lose' all the filler and hang the fiberglass on a tube framework.
I 'dupped' a copy of a fender once when someone at work took the l rear fender off the duelie! I waxed the right one and made a 'single use' mold, pulled one and repaired the other side.
