Supra Sideskirts :), Molding process- Options

[mgnt232]

So I got the sides the other day, but it was raining ....and most of this morning. but as soon as it stopped.... I started

So its a very long process of getting them to fit but I really like the look:). And thanks to AJ I had a general idea of what to start with (he was very helpful) but put my own spin on alot of it, which i thought was easier.
Any how, I got one almost "done" still have a ton! of work to do, to mold it all flush, but thats alot easier than holding SS up and marking out, and cutting, and holding, and trying to rivit it, all by my self lol.

Heres some pics

Walk out

Cut for the "vent" (vent doesnt actually do anything, i covered it in the back)

A few different angles when i cut enough and had it fall into place well enough to rivit it in

Cut the rear off, extending, ran out of resin so I had to stop

Started laying out the mat, getting it all ready (mainly in my head )

Started to spread the resin, but I ran out




Rest of the pics are mainly how it looks now, keep in mind, I ran out of resin, I will be finishing it tomorrow along with the other side





Tell me what you think I know its not everyones style .. And if anyone has questions ask its not as hard as it may look... if you have some patience .. the only "body work" experience I have is putting on my invader kit

Not gunna lie, the side skirts are looking better than i was expecting, Im curious to see the end result.
Are you gunna have to get spacers on the rear to make the wheel look less sucked in? since the skirts make it look wider.

Thankk you lol its comin along
I have ideas to make the car alot lower, so I may get a "wide fender flare" and mold it in, in the near future for the rear. (aj did it, and it made it look alot better since everything was out more)

And I wasnt mixing the fiberglass on cardboard, I mixed that in a bunch of plastic containers, although I did mix the bondo on the cardboard... but for the most part the cardboard is not "porous" like it would normally be because it has a bunch of old layers of praypaint

Ill keep the updates coming, as the progress gets further and then it will be time to update the paint thread (may start painting wends)
