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

So my car has been moved to my uncles garage, after weeks of helping him work on his camper to get it out of there! so i could move in

So using a bigger compressor helped alot with the sanding (I only have a small one that you have to sand for like a min then wait for the compressor to fill, ect) But for the most part if had to be hand sanded..and lets just say my arm is a bittt tired

But alot of it had to be hand sanded, applied like 3 skim coats of bondo, on top of what i already had, sanding in between, and the body lines are finally starting to look good!
After sanding allllllllll day it was nice to see im almost done! need to apply one more coat I think and and get another thing of glazing putty and a little more sanding, and it should be done The front fender flares are almost flush now, which is awesome.
Took some pics, but the lighting is not that bright so my phone couldnt capture what it looks like. (none of these pics are from the end of the day, looks a little better now)
