Thought you guys might enjoy some pics from the work on the Fiat. Cut in doors and made a removable hood. Also laminated a body mount, a horseshoe flange, typical funny car mount style. This thing should be pretty cool when it's done. Just a cruiser, likely won't ever see a track. Made a seat also.
Made a make-shift mold out of sign-makers plastic and then laminated a seat. Interior guy will take it from here. This is just after laminating, still wet.
This is the horse-shoe body mount/flange and the seat.
The seat and the doors. I added an interior layer of glass, spaced out from the door with some 1/4" foam. Those circles are some "trusses" between the two layers for added stiffness. Just cut holes in the foam and packed in some fiberglass putty made from 1/32" fibers and resin. That stuff is killer strong....more on that later.
My part is done. The guys at the shop will take it from here and make hinges for the doors (suicide) and for the hood. I made a recessed flange for the hood to rest on, just can't see it here.
