Project Chaos - Bat Wings

<< < (2/2)

usmc_butler:
I have not attempted the batwing yet, just gathering experiences from everyone else. But my question, are you in Arizona? Just curious because you said you borrowed Rob's mold, is Rob making them to sell? I have his number I guess I could just send him a text and ask. What body is everyone using?

powerslave:
I'm in the middle of my bat wings now and I had a huge problem with the curvature of the wing not matching with the body and engine cover.  I made a metal frame work 3 times before finally getting it to match.  I also found out that you can sort of re-form the fiberglass by setting it out in the sun for a few hours.  Rob actually let me borrow the bat wing side mold, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to make it work because it doesnt seem to match my curvature, but I might be trying it this weekend.  I may end up attempting to make the sides from scratch.  Another thing I noticed is that there isnt very much depth for the bat wing side to tuck into the body.  Has anyone else had this problem?

Tallon:
I'd definitely buy a mold :D

No Bull:
I don't know if he's selling them or not, but you might want to check with Rob to see if he's offering the Bat Wing side panels that Joe from Inland was making at one time.  I have a set and from what I can tell, they are really good parts that are going to work out nicely.  Many guys have the fiberglass skills to build them on their own however I'm not there yet so I try to find pre-made parts to help me move my project along.
