Building my own 670 kit

[lp670mike]

No problem.
If you hang in there a few more days I can make you some paper templates which will save you
a lot of time figuring out all what I just did. Once it is lined out and trimmed it shouldn't be to hard
to add the new fiberglass pieces.  I am going to use flat FRP sheeting cut all my new pieces, scuff everything up with a sanding disc on a 90 deg. die grinder. Then panel bond all the parts together.
when set up I will flip it over and laminate the whole thing again in fiberglass. I am going to have a glass shop make the hexagon windows out of 3/16" tempered glass.

That's awesome! thanks for sharing this process
I was thinking about doing it to mine

[lp670mike]

Hey guys back with a little update.
Its too cold to do any fiberglass in my
Shop so the bumpers and wing are at a
Stand still until spring so I decided to see
What I could do with the engine bonnet.
To about a day of layout and staring at
Pictures but I think I am off to a good start.
Pretty sure the factory designed theirs off
Of a murcie bonnet too. It all layed out
Perfectly once I figured it out. I will start chopping
It up this week.  Enjoy!

Yeah I used poly resin for the wing buck
Maybe thats why I had no issues. I plan on
Using epoxy resin when I make the molds and
Parts.

[Tallon]

Are you using gp polyester or epoxy resin

[lp670mike]

Hey Tallon,
I will go out to the barn tomorrow and see what brand the foam is.
I used it on my 670 wing buck and had no problems putting fiberglass on it.
Maybe there are different types, not really sure. It is super easy to shape though.  I just hot glue the blocks together and go to town with saws and sanding blocks.

Really nice work your car is looking awesome.

[Tallon]

Really? I've used that stuff it's so delicate, nice for carving but I thought the resin did melt it :S maybe depends what you use?
The bumper shape looks amazing I'd love to do this
Nice idea making a bottom template to sit on

[lp670mike]

Thanks guys  I am still debating wich way to go
With this.
I will put up some more pics next week.
The material I am using is a green dry floral foam
From the craft store. The nice part is you can fiberglass
Right on the foam and the foam will not melt

Looks great so far. I like how you utilized the original bumper. How did you mold the new pieces on so perfect?

WOW!!! that looks stupendous!!! Personally I like the Replica LP670, if it were I that is the route I would go. Keep up the Super Duper work!!!

Hey guys started working on my front
Bumper last week. Its in really rough stage
Now. I was playing around with maybe
Doing a variation of the 670 but making it
More of an original design. Just wanted to
Some opinions. Again its very rough at this point
And I could still go 670 replica. Just trying
To decide. Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks
Mike

Work is slowly going foward

[lp670mike]

I am still waiting on my rear quarter panels and exhaust bonnet to finalize the fitment on my parts.  Going on 2 years now and I still don't have a complete body. At this point I am waiting for the rest of my body parts before I go any further with this project.

Thanks,
Mike
