Thank you!
Hope everyone is doing great. All good here, living the good life...7 days a week at a really cool shop with some badass fabricators working around me. I tell them daily that it's not lost on me.....they are working and I am playing. So very thankful for Kenny and his team.

Making progress on the molds, it's just a slow process with curing and making flanges. Tedious but I'm making the spoiler mold pretty stout as there is a decent chance I may need to.... I'm not gonna say it.

John, I have been following your build from the very beginning.

It first got my attention because I have a 70 RS myself.

It has been a true pleasure to see how a real pro fabricator works.

Wow, just fantastic work. Can't wait to see more.

I use sign makers plastic for making the mold flanges. It's cheap, cuts nicely and shapes with very little heat, and easy to get.

Masking tape so the hot glue doesn't permanently stick to anything.
Use a lot of cripples so the plastic doesn't move or break off during laminating, last thing you need with wet 'glass!

I welded in a fairly stout inner structure while the valence was still on the car. Given the weak-@ss nature of how the shape of the spoiler was created, can't have anything flexing once it comes off the car.
