A Neat Side Project

[lostdude]

I thought I'd share something I've cooked up between fiberglassing, working, and sleeping... :rolleyes

I'm slowly working on my '79 camaro which came back from paint a few weeks ago. I'm changing all the trim to flat black, wheel wells, cleaning hood, trunk, ect. I also came across an emblem I had. I guess I could have been clean up and flat blacked but another one to complete the set would have cost $30.

So I decided to make my own. Thank you smooth on and friends for the ideas!

Getting things together and the box to make the mold.

The Rebound 25 mold.

Parts A and B respectively of Smoothcast 300

Resin mixed.

Setting up.

Ta-Da!!! Just needs to be cleaned up.

The two cleaned copies which are being filled with spot putty then primed. I'll show the finished product once its.... finished.

As long as he's not selling them it should be ok. The only people that seem to get bent out of shape over copywright infringement for non-monetary gain are 20th Century Fox.

Besides, who's gonna question it?

Great idea! Last winter I used the fabrication skills I learned through armor to make a new dash panel for my truck. It's amazing what armor making can teach ya!

I'm only making copies for myself so everything is good. Saves myself a headache of finding decent replacements. I must add that I did make my sister one because she thought it was awesome but it was a freebie and I seriously doubt GM (Government Motors now) is gonna go snooping through her room for that little decoration.

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to getting to that point on my list with my car. I'm making an aluminum dash for autometer gauges to replace the stupid dummy lights. I'll then be adding a computer with a 7" touch screen. Another fabrication item on my list is putting a small sub in the middle of my backseat to add a little bass and adding speaker to the door panels.

YaY MONEY PIT!

I thought I'd give some pics of the final product in action. So here you go!

A little wonky with the glue here but I can fix it

I think they turned out pretty well. I've been working on this car a lot and my armor is at a complete standstill. I'll get back to it in August when I return from vacation. In the meantime....



Cheers everyone
