Progress on the plug for the mold. Used balsa so I could easily create a curve to flow with the headliner shape. Have no fear, this all gets cut out after the mold is made.
Primed and ready for mold release.

Sprayed some red paint just to help with seeing air bubbles while laminating. Not using any gel coat here -- it's just a splash mold, so not really necessary in my opinion.
4 coats of wax, 2 coats of PVA mold release, laminated with 4 layers of cloth. Then drilled for rivets.
Mold removed and busted out the balsa plug.
Cut open for laminating.
4 coats of wax, 2 coats of PVA mold release, then riveted the mold to the headliner.
Green sheen is the PVA.
Laminated with 1 layer each of 3/4 ounce and 1 1/2 ounce mat. Mold removed. A little clean up and primer on the way.

Finished the overhead console/headliner and re-primed it.
Pulled out all the interior panels for one last sand blow out before it comes off the rotisserie.
Put the interior panels back.
Finished up the trunk panels, all of the flanges, mounts and the floor. Have a bud with a CNC router - will cut out for fuel pump access panel and will lighten up the MDF floor panel.
