Hi guys. Hope all is well.
Started making the molds for the 3 lower dash pieces.
Made some mounting boards and did some final touch up filler/sanding.

Just some rattle can black epoxy to give a solid/glossy finish on the plugs, helps the mold not get stuck on the plug.

Made some mold flanges out of sign makers plastic. Held on with hot glue. Made the round, cone shaped flanges for the AC ducts on a 3D printer. The little mold locating nubs are just sticky back cabinet bumpers with a little clay to smooth out the transitions and fill voids.
PVA mold release.

Gelcoat down. When you have white gelcoat and you want to make it red with dye but don't purchase enough dye, you get a pink mold.
