It's quite boring 

u spend all this money on filler 

just to mix it up let go hard then spend ages turning it into a dust that blows everywhere

 

No power at my garage so all done by hand 

Moulded the two buttresses on the clam and a 40mm wide band in fibre glass  so the form sits nice and snug 

on the clam in the same place every time.

 

Eventually when I'm happier I will bond the form to the rollbar cover 

 

would use form board for sure next time 

this has been fun but it's taken longer than doing it the right way !!

 

Back end not finished yet it will get longer and hang over the clam 

similar to a turbo spoiler or something along those lines

BVSD, looking good! That's a lot of work put in so far so keep at it and eventually you'll have the joy that is mould making.

 

I'm with Smiley on the end point of the coupe though. I know you said you wanted to take it to the end of the clam but (imo) needs to finish just short and then go into a turbo spoiler that is moulded into the clam (like Nige's)

 

What's the plan on the bootlid? Clear perspex, slats? Its the only thing I cant get looking right in my head.

Do you have any sketch or anything for how you want it or is it the red car that is the inspiration. I found a 3d of a speedster on the net a some time ago and it had a really nice shaped coupe roof. I eas thinking of making something like you are doing but with the deisgn of this 3d. But I hope someone else is doing it first and I can buy a copy. Good work. BR, Per

I'd be using a piece of wood directly on that.... Seen it time and again on yank bodyshop programs where they fill a roof and then use a long bit of timber to sand it back.
