Great work as usual.

Looks great like everything else. Glad to see you’re making progress.

I wanted to move the leg bolsters out a few inches and add some better lateral knee support. Template first.


Using plastic for the mold to extend the fiberglass. While prep'ing the seat and grinding the existing glass down, found that Cobra uses a layer of Kevlar embedded in the fiberglass. Little hidden cookie, nice!.


Created a rolled lip to match the rest of the seat. Will 'glass them this week.

Gelcoat done

Glass'd the seat extensions




Broke out the make-shift mold pieces and swept a little filler.


Primed to seal it up. Paint later. Interior shop can redo the foam.




Final test fit of the seats, belts and center console.

Tested my rearview mirror. It's the commercial version of the mirror in the current Cup cars. Real nice piece, had the price that you would expect! The camera is motorized and you can adjust from the mirror. Image is crystal clear and video appears seamless, at least from what I could see with the car in the shop, trees were moving in the wind and it was smooth.

Started the final steps to the door panels, adjusted the path a bit. Plastic welded most of the shape, this is the inside of that addition, a layer of plastic was laid on top of this.


The arm rests were originally 2 pieces, didn't need to be so I made them a single piece. Better with no seam.


Looks like a lot of bondo (Everglass) but it's a relatively thin skim to get the shape accurate so the leather lays flat. Filler doesn't stick well to plastic at all, even with adhesion promoter. I would've preferred no filler but just can't get it perfect with the plastic iron and sanding.
