finished. Ready for the paintshop

Paul · Post by **Paul** » April 12th, 2013, 6:59 am

Ok. Ready. The paintshop will coat it, wait for at least one week and sand it again to get the best result.
Paint it. 2k paint.let it dry for one week. Then it is mine.
Now the fun starts: making a mold. It is a very complicated model for making a mold.
Lot's to do.
Can take a while for the next results.

The AC Cobra chassis will fit. Execept for the width on front and rear. So the suspension arms need some mods.

Thanks for interest,

Paul Smallenburg

[quote="QSL"]I thought you were going to do a multi piece body?

Nope.
It would be much easier, but than I have to make two moulds. Twice the costs and energy.
I bought me a very nice tool to cut the bonnet off.
Rework is always a issue because of the 3piece mold so cut it of and rework is much easier and cheaper.
Result will be the same!!!!
It's a promise.

Jay/Kev. thx for the compliments.
Will do my best to make a beauty, but will take some time.
This one is much more complicated than the Cobra.
Going to be the same level as the Cobra but better.

Thx. Paul Smallenburg

Ok, some progress....
Nice job from the paintshop but still need some rework.
I think 2 days of polishing, than ready to make the mold.
Have fun with the pictures.

Greets,
