A bit more progress on the mock up of the molds. Placement of the side AC vents proved a little challenging. With the door bars and the lowered seats, really needed to keep a space for your feet to move through without having to pull your knees all the way up to your chin! Snaked the ducts between the roll bar and the A-pillar. So, had to keep them up a little higher than planned but as Curtis says (well, really all of us)...form meets function. Had my poor friends climb in and out of this thing about 50 times so I could watch and learn.

Very nice work, I'm looking forward to seeing it completed. What kind of foam are you using to make your molds?

I don’t know how I managed to miss this thread until now. Just read it every bit of it. Like a great book that you can’t make yourself put down. Absolutely incredible work. I can’t wait to see more.

**I just realized that was my first post. Wow, been lurking around for a while.

Just spray insulation foam. Sorry for the late response!

Definitely travelling, no real track options here just yet. Portland and Salt Lake are close enough but certainly hit others/Optima.
