well i've got this crazy idea, and i kinda wanna make it happen i like the look of veilside, but without the lil flair things on the side and maybe a lil vis mixed in soooo....
would it be possible to make my own kit if i started with something like autoCAD made somethin up then had say a block of wood and clay, and shaped it to what i wanted, then added say ceran (sp??) wrap w/vasaline as a release agent then laid fiberglass over it?? i think this would be awsome just to point and say i made that and u'ed have a better feeling then buying the 1500 veilside "that never fit right anyway!" so has anyone ever done this before?? and since i have all the time in the world (well minus homework and my job) |

well i figure with a wooden clay chicken wire styrofoam mold and enough fiberglass (any ideas on what type of fiberglass??) to lay down a good first layer to see if i like what i see and enough resin and all that it'll prolly come to about 150 bucks at the most so after i pull the engine out of my dads truck and get it out of the way i might have some room to work on this crazy thing, and also i fiugure if i make a litle model first about a foot wide and build on it first cause that'll save me alot of headaches
ne way if anyone knows what type of fiberglass or resin i should use(??) thanks again for the replies |
