For any future work I'd consider using dyna-glass for fiber filler and rage for non-fiber filler. both are so much easier to work with than bondo brand stuff. prices are a lot more than they were just a couple years ago, but ease of work (IMO) would still be worth it. Same could be said about the fiberglass resin. I used to get mine from US Composites. Their website is right in the era of the BMW (haha), but the resin flows SO much nicer than the really thick bondo brand stuff does. Love watching the rebuild of this legend btw. I got to hear it back in '92. If I only knew then what I knew now about sound... sigh, oh well it was still an experience I won't forget.

@pocket5s1- thanks for the tips! I have been out of the game for a couple of decades (lol) but I have used rage in the past, great stuff. Awesome that you got the hear the car in the past, maybe someday in the future as well!

It breaks my heart that you didn't use batten strips across the ribs to support the fleece. It would have saved you hours of work and used less than 1/4 the amount of filler

@MrPat8703 - Thanks man, I really appreciate it. You nailed it. Did you see the part where I was going to add some additional strips? But then I thought that would be "overdoing it". Now I am in kitty hair hell, this sucks. I think I will fill in the deepest spots with some strips of plywood. I am really looking forward to these being done, and moving on to the next part of the build. Its been over 20 years since I did this kind of fiberglass work, clearly I am rusty. Thanks for the sympathy, more "precision" work coming soon...

OMG that cd album brings back memories!! It sucks, its not on Tidal. BTW Mike, I can share my speaker testing tracks if you use Tidal too. I've collected a nice collection of tracks over the years that are purely designed to test certain aspects of systems - quality is generally a bit better than the older CD stuff. I can dissect most systems using a good handful of tracks now. :) Lookin' good!

@yomama5785 - Hey buddy! I do not use Tidal, bummer. These panels were getting the best of me, but almost finished up. Should have another video posted soon. Thanks!

I think you could have done this a bit differently... and used some different materials. But I really do love you're doing it the old school way. It looks great MM. Lots of sanding block ahead of you.

@dakenned1 - Hey buddy! I LOVE the idea of F1 style tech to build parts, but I am really trying to maintain the old school ways "we used to do it". That said, I do have regrets about how I built these. I wish I added battons (as others have suggested) to reduce the amount of filler needed. Oh well, I will get these done and get past it. Thanks for watching!

One more thing... consider epoxy resin its more expensive but it wont shrink as badly as polyesther. You can also get fillers (structural, fairing) and different hardeners (they have slow cure, fast cure, clear cure). The fillers are all powders so you can have a can of the structural one and use that like kitty-hair, or you can have the fairing one and it sands easier than bondo. And... very little smell.

Side panels are coming out great. Fibreglass warping, considering the length of those pieces, would have been difficult to avoid I think. Agree with what you said - the smell of fibreglass curing is nostalgic 🙂. Didn't really use much in my later builds but did fibreglass the front sub.

@carlnorrbom- Thanks buddy! Honestly, this has been my least favorite aspect of the build. If I did not have some much time invested, I would start these over. Looking forward to them being done:) Thanks again for watching, more "precision" work coming soon!

Looking great. Labor of love, for sure. 👍🏼. I once rebuilt a fiberglass boat, replacing all the rotten ribs and stringers with brand new to allow for a below deck fuel tank and installing a Nidacore deck. I remember grinding the old fiberglass for 16 1/2 hours in preparation to adhere the new. Respirator and full body suit. It wasn’t fun 🤩. I was taught never to apply anything to shiny resin, but instead scuff it up for better adhesion. I hope you’re wearing your respirator when not filming. 😊 Keep up the great work!!!

@hiresaudiocosta873 - Hey buddy! My father actually builds strip mahogany boats that he then wraps in fiberglass and epoxy resin. Cool stuff! Honestly, this part sucks. I much prefer working with aluminum, even the mess from router work.

@@PrecisionMike It's so neat that you are documenting the entire process with video instead of just photos. What an awesome time capsule. Thanks again for doing this!!
