My molds had come back home :). Not having much time Brian had decided
that to speed things up in making the panels would be to have them made by body
shop and after not much progress and he had asked me if I would be willing to
pull 2 sets for him.

After providing half of the molds to a body shop, they had decided to spray it
from what it looks like high build primer. After quick inspection one of the
quarter panels had overspray of the primer. Will have to see if it will stick to
the molds but at least I'll have to clean up the mating surfaces from the
overspray. Additionally it looks like rocker panel from same side was sprayed
with some sort of black primer as well and it seems like there are some
scratches to it. Will have to see if they can be cleaned up or will it be OK
just to leave it.

pulled last panels from molds and rough trimmed any left over pieces>
As promised to Brian about 2 months to make up the molds. In actuality it was
week over due but that was still a lot shorter then I was thinking it would take
and a LOT shorter then it took to make the original panels to be made minded
that as panels where made the molds had to made first. Over all I think it was
excellent process to go through again as there where some panels that were
rejected before delivering to Brian and he has some to practice trimming. |
