    Re: BSX progress....

    I was watching musclecar sunday and they used a similar process to reverse mold some fiberglass flares they had made. According to him it took like a week to do because they used three layers of mat on the mold and two on the new piece from the mold, and had to let each layer dry 24 hours before the next to make sure heat didn't build up.

    Re: BSX progress....

    Extra thick mold in case you need to make a copy eh? I'm sensing some BSX clones down the road...Gotta be some other P body guys with a drag car project on the drawing board Looking good like always Brian

    If we start a 'debut at SDAC chant', will it help?

    BSX clones...possibly, looks like I'm a P-body man for life! A debut chant would be sweet. If the car works out as planned, an SDAC debut wouldn't be out of the question. However, this time around, almost everything has changed. And accordingly there will be issues to resolve. But I will do my best to get it done

    Thanks to everyone for the Kudos!

    Re: BSX progress....

    What process did you use to make the mold?
    Yeah what Brian said... and 3 half pints of crown royal for me to pass the 30 hours of time waiting for drying I did drunk dial my friend Dave's parents too during the wait...

    I realized that after typing this I have made one mistake, that was not thanking my great friend Justin Cronk, a fellow TD'er who has given me 30 hours of his time so far! This is a good friend tester, a true friend will still come back to help after putting so much time in. Thanks Bud!!
    De Nada my good man.... I got your back and am prepared for my share of d__kridin' once you fire the old bird up

    The bumper looks great!

    "whats the actual weight savings over the stock front end?"

    An estimate of weight savings for my car is around 50-60lbs. I will know more when the part is complete.

    Absolutely, equipped with a neon head hybrid inboard/outboard engine Maybe it's time for that kit....

    Re: BSX progress....

    Hey Gang, another small update. After some sweet talking to my friends Justin Cronk and Mike Marra, I convinced them to lend a hand in laying down the first couple layers of glass. I don't know how anything got done between laughing all day and watching the neighborhood people. I do know that Justin does his best work with a half a load of Crown Royal on, lol.

    The part released as expected from the mold, and turned out nice for my first piece. The first 2 pics show the part just after the demolding. The second 2 are after a quick trimming of the edges. The part fits nicely and can even be removed and installed by myself. I still have some more work to do to it, like install all the mounting tabs, finish trimming and of course it needs paint. More updates to follow!!

    You might want to be concerned if someone mistaken you for laughing at the neighborhood, which might get you killed. I was a little scared the last time I was there, lol.

    "I see you adapted a new style courtesy/dome light, You're leading the way again, I don't think anyone else has used that style 80 watts ought to be enough for reading maps and whatnot"

    LOL, quite a few have poked fun at my dome light. I may have to trim it though, it gets in the way when I'm driving. Or I could just lower the seat


    "You might want to be concerned if someone mistaken you for laughing at the neighborhood, which might get you killed. I was a little scared the last time I was there, lol."

    I hear ya Frank, hehe. The neighborhood has degraded a good bit over the years, but someone has to fix the junk they cruise around in.
