Had some trouble with the second fender. I switched epoxy (first fender was with some old stuff that I had for years and never used, new epoxy infuses faster - lesson learned) and needed to get an ultrasonic tester. These fender molds were generally brutal - I should have redone the gel coat and the flanging was pretty complicated. Learning how to bag a large part on such a complex part was a mistake.
It did turn out - lucky I guess.
Details were nice and crisp.
Nice and straight...they are not perfect - but a coat of primer is all that is needed to correct the surface - the error is in the mold!
I also made my first headlight bucket reinforcement ring. It's really nice. One more of these to make and a few other flanges that have to be added then they are done. Probably a few weeks away from them being done for real.
The harness weave is pretty cool looking stuff.
After these are done, then the hood and trunk need to be done.
