Here's the part that looked like it had been repaired prior to my friend getting it.

Here's another pic

Its so different doing something for someone else i wanted it to be the best i could do.

[batbuilder]

The one side needed to be reset because of the original molding

[batbuilder]

Here was a project that I did for a buddy here. I was very concerned about not screwing them up

Hey Jackal, I got a badass set of projection lights with my winning bid but I can't make heads or tails out of them. Theres a servo motor for the headlights to turn with the car and I think they may be real. But I will use some lower tech headlights. There is a housing that attaches to the back of the headlight buckets that could be used as a mounting platform....The mold pull was pretty good but I did end up with some bubbles that blew through. So i refinished them with bondo

[batbuilder]

This is the first complex mold I made. I'm getting better with practice.

[Jackal]

You do very nice work and seems to be a real 'go-getter'. Well done.

What projection type headlights you going to use? I'm looking for my project as well.

Cheers
Jackal

These buckets have so much detail compared to my bucket that came with the body.

[batbuilder]

You can actually see the writing that was on the original piece. Unfortunately I have sanded the writing off the pieces I made so I can carbon fiber the pieces.

[batbuilder]

I like the sharpness of the pieces but there was some small damage I had to repair

[batbuilder]

Ended up winning a bid on some headlights on Ebay so I could practice my mold making skills

[batbuilder]

After removing the roadster body i plan on building a jig that has the same mounting points that the body has to the chassis. We will put some wheels at each corner so we can continue the body work while the drivetrain is being installed.

Wow did a big post and lost it all because I have been over an hour....Oh well Here's a pic of the Coupe with the Corvette wheels. Looks like the axles need to be 7 1/2 inch wider per side. Got some work going on the roadster tomorrow. going to remove the body and do some final welding on the chassis and rollbar. Hey Jackal its ok to look your right there...

Hey Dratts, my nemisis is no big secret...murcie-me... Don't know why my buddies keep sending me these pics they think I'm going to like. Happily married for 24 years. But maybe its to show me what you can do with an airbrush....
