Good luck! what you see there is just pottery clay, the last pictures show the layers of plaster and cloth to make a mold, that has been removed already, now I have a mold with the shape of the piece of mud you see on the first pictures, tomorrow, I'll make the first piece using that mold  then molding to bumper, and prep work for paint. hopefully if weather and time allows I'll be done sunday afternoon -------------------- |

rain over the weekend didn't let me do much, so now doing a little everyday
here is how far I got today, the piece is molded, now comes the fun part Sanding    as far as people calling dibs, I'm still not sure if I will make any of these to sell, I definitely can use the extra cash, but I previous experiences make me hesitant about it -------------------- |

I don't have a GT4 grill to be 100% sure, but base on the mold I made of Jim's front end, GT4 grill will fit with no proboem, but I'm going for something more like this
 I think it'll be more unique and wil catch people's eyes more.  that would be funny wouldn't it ? I may just get a Home depot grill for the time being, a Gt4 grill if I can find a deal on one down the road. -------------------- |

QUOTE (97lestyousay @ Aug 5, 2009 - 8:41 PM) for the second time lol. Nice work thanks randy bad news on this around a month ago, my sister's BF hit my car with his brand spanking new SUV while parking, my high beams were pushed down a little, well, I kind of forgot about this when my wife was making the clay piece and the mold, today I took the bumper off and fixed the headlamps, well, now that they are fixed, the piece sitcks out a little, I would say ~ 1/8 of an inch. I'm still gonna finish it, but I will have to get a second bumper to do it all over again, in order to get a perfect mold to be able to reproduce it for a few friends that need this.  I have pictures, but I'm lazy right now, so I'll post them some other time. fully painted ( kind of finished ) pictures should be up by friday night -------------------- |

1- I ran out of bondo
2- I don't have the GT4 grill on hand to measure and cut the hole for it 3 while painting I ran out of paint and NO ONE sells it in a spray can around me so had to use duplicolor paint to finish 4- no I could not wait as I'm traveling to MA in the morning, so for now this is how it'll be, Monday I'm off so I'll fix it and cut the hole for the grill on Monday

The paint has run areas, but I'll fix that tomorrow, just spray it to see how it was coming. Grill is ready to fo in, just need to make the adapter to have places where to bolt it and call it done.
 [  I already have pictures with the grill fitted but not secured, I'll upload those later. This post has been edited by Culpable04: Aug 17, 2009 - 8:34 AM -------------------- |
