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

lol I'm actually considering naming my Celica "Baby Supra" I had named my Cobalt "Torque Monkey" because they was plenty on tap especially for a FWD, and I hadn't even gotten a chance to tune her from the stock 12psi to 22psi, stock she was only 260hp and 260tq and the tune would have put her to over 300hp and over 330tq. I figure the Celica since it's close to a supra and lol if I do the tail lights right it would be almost exactly a Baby Supra lol.
