You warm it up to about 135 degrees so that it becomes soft enough to apply and when it cools to room temperature it is hard and carveable.

​@@BroughBuilt SO I for some reason thought that this was now the mould you would use to make many or more than one body shell for race car or cars ,,,a mould so if the guy crashes the car and destroys the left rear quarter you can simply just glass him up a replacement,a mould that you can lay down a jell coat first and the colour you want the car to be ,,then just spray glass and nock out a dozen if you like so you can sell a few on the free market as i know people who would be interested in buying a full set of prefab panels ,,,so if the guy you built thia for destroys the hood or the drivers side door and wing he will not be able to get any replacement parts like or the same as the originals because they will not be available and its not like you will be able to fab up just the door panel or any singular part the same as the original correct ??? so its a one and done and if he damages any of it he has to get a complete new body shell made from scratch ,,,yeah not how i would like to do it . you have done an amazing job,i just thought this was stage one and building the mould not stage one and done ,,,so much effort for something that cant be easily replicated unless you turn it into a mould .

You should use polyvinyl alcohol spray before fiberglass as a mold release. Works amazing and washes off with water. Then you won’t have to clean the foam off the mold. I’m blown away by your work!! Looks amazing!

[@markkopieczek5882]

Truly fantastic! As a one time race car builder in the early seventies, I truly appreciate the hard work and artistry you have shown. You have demonstrated great integrated thinking and deserve great success. I did notice that no one was wearing a face mask when sanding the polystyrene. It gives off micro particles which you are all breathing in. And if any of you are smokers too, it will for sure have a bad outcome. Please take care, you guys are valuable, and I know face masks are a real pain, but the alternative is so much worse!

[@plav032]

Yessir, i appreciate this mans ambition, but he needs to do more research, not only the health implications, but the wasted hours by not using a release agent...

[@martinbisschoff988]

@jamesgocka346. Yep bud. A similar thought occurred to me. Saw a vid where polystyrene is dissolved into some kind of solvent until the consistency is somewhat thickish. Pigments can be added and then used as a filler or to make shapes in moulds. Once set it is incredibly strong. Also finishes off with sanding to a very fine finish.

Great combination of artistry and skill! Somewhere, there is a 14 year old figuring out how to do this with a homebuilt CAD cutter.. scan a model, scale it up, build it.

[@rogermccaslin5963]

This is already being done in many industries. Boats, aerospace, blades for wind turbines, automotive, etc. Pretty much anything composite uses multi axis routing to cut patterns from foam. There is some very advanced stuff being done that, unless you are in the industry, you don't ever hear about. Sometimes we scan things but that's usually to bring digitization to legacy products. More often than not, we go right from CAD model to routing.

"just sand down" lol, there is NOTHING EASY WHATSOEVER about 'sanding down a completely rough car body. I know because I have done it, and i will NEVER do it again. I make molds that are thin and 'throw away', when thin, they will warp within a week, so you must use them immediately and then they are junk, but you get a smooth good part once, maybe twice. OMG, you removed all the foam, wtf are you doing? That gives it all the strength!! You need 1/2 thick and then thin glass on the inside, and its super strong. You made it weak after all that work. oh boy.

[@robert5]

Support can still be added but remember it is going to be mounted on a tube chassis. Once the body is in place and the relationship between the body and frame are established inner support structure can be glassed in. That support structure can be made to function as a attachment to the chassis and also a strengthening system for the outer body structure. I am betting that is his plan, it would be mine. At this point if he ads in an inner support structure it may need to be removed in many places due to interference with the chassis. Just makes sense to hang the body on the chassis making the mounts to the chassis also the inner support structure. I am also wondering how the windshield will be mounted as at 200 mph that mounting system will need to be vary strong. I have ideas on how to do that but cant wait to see his method.

Plus you should have used a release agent before applying your cloth and resin, the hours and hours spent with knives and scrapers would have been more than halved.

@@mikls6830 I see - I'm incredulous that after going to all that trouble they don't make that outer skin a mould and then in the conventional fashion produce the skins from that mould - The customer will need a wing or lord knows what after the slightest of touches and all that original shape is gone. No wonder this motor racing lark is so expensive 😂

[@robert5]

I am betting when they hang the body on the chassis the body to chassis mount or support system will also become the inner body support system giving the body much more strength. I did expect the initial body to be a mold not the simi finished body. I would have made it a mold so more body pieces could easily be replicated but when each body section is finished, it can also be used to make a mold before final mounting, maybe that is the plan.

Great idea, well documented process! I am personally always troubled with Styrofoam, because it gets all over the place whenever I am making anything from it. Then I tried the idea documented by some Asian KZbin posters... they dissolve pieces of Styrofoam in acetone and produce a very useful gluey compound. I am now used to vacuuming all the dust and pieces of Styrofoam and creating the mass for future modeling and surface filling and repairs. In your case one liter of acetone would dissolve the whole quantity of Styrofoam, that you had to dispose off somewhere and ultimately pollute the nature. More acetone would produce a less viscous glue.

Flippen ongelooflik!!! 🙂 This has been so informative and mind blowing on so many levels. I would love to visit your little workshop. I have learnt so much in this one video and think you are an absolute master.

You did it just right. The carbon fiber is much stronger in a multi directional lay up, however carbon is so stiff it does break rather than bend. If you could get some "S" glass, it would be as strong as the carbon, but would bend like your lay up. Coming from the sailing and catamaran world, a lot of people want carbon boats until they bump into the fuel dock and write off their boat. Flexible fiberglass with carbon stiffeners is the best of both worlds. Of course, vacuum bagged infusion or pre-pregs would be even better.

Very interesting processes and results ! It's given me some ideas for further use of peel-ply (with carbon). Well Done all...

I always wanted to make my own 2001 Jeep Willys concept. This makes it seem possible! Thanks for sharing your craft 🤙

Actually 5/5. I think this brown looks really elegant with its shift. It really made thr lines of the car pop.

Thanks dude, I’m embarking on a project and mild building/layup is a part I’ve been trying to nut out before I start. I’ll be utilising a CNC router for shape but your layup method and finishing is mean as!

Nice would have loved to see the final finish after it’s completed loved watching cheers

Very educational I'am thinking about this approach to a problem I'am having and I appreciate the time and effort that went into this video! Cheers Mate!
