In essence, it had to look as good as it worked.






What is the width and thickness of the metal "fingers" you used?

Is that just tape stretched over the metal fingers or did you put some additional support in that we can't see before you put foam over the tape?

How did you apply and contain the foam? Did you build some sort of containment and then just pour the liquid foam in and wait for it expand, remove the containment, and start shaping?

If you had pictures of the containment before or during the foam application that would be great. . .

Thanks for all the pics!!! GREAT looking car and AWESOME fab work!!!
