Back on the rotisserie so I can finish the welding on the underside and laminate the fiberglass inners.
Finished widening the rear inners.
Starting to get cold here so I took a detour from welding so I could laminate the fiberglass front inners while it's still relatively warm.
You can sort of see the green PVA mold release on the mold. I left some of the edges of mold run a little long so I can decide later how to trim the inners, especially where they will tie into the front spoiler/splitter.
White Gel Coat on the mold. I will laminate in a day or so. For sure, this is stretching how you should properly build a mold/part but it will work and allowed me to build the mold and do live tests with the wheel/tire on the car and at full suspension compression. The inner is only 1/8" away from the fender flare.....pretty frick'n tight...needed to be to keep the tire clearance. Will use some Kevlar for strength especially in front of the oil tank.
