To all you people that didn't like the music , there is a volume control, turn it down if you don't like it. I really doubt listening to the young man sand for 30 minutes will be entertaining. We are truly fortunate that he spared us having to watch him put all that resin and fiberglass down.

thanks, we are all beginners in the beginning

Thanks for sharing your project and experience with us and giving us the opportunity to learn what it takes to follow our dream of having our dream cars and inspiring us to use our brains to figure out how we can build our rides. Also thank you for motivating me and starting a fire in my mind on how I could do the bulkhead layout but I don’t have a printer reminded me I have a projector so I could project the design from my copy of FreeCAD V20 ONTO the Masonite or sign board then trace it with a sharpie or go to Office Depot or Walmart or a UPS store and have them print it then spray adhesive it. I guess I could do it on vinyl on my Cricut. Maker. Or, I could insert a sharpie or a techno pen into the tool holder on my Cricut and let it draw the lines and instructions onto vinyl then cut it weed it then apply,y it to the boards. Sir, you have truly inspired and motivated us. Thank you. I have always wanted to build something but I had no idea on how to build a buck for metal forming or a plug for building a mold for composite materials. I only knew that they are almost the same thing. Again THANK YOU 😊😊😊. ONE QUESTION , How did you know how many boards to use to make the buck?

[@sonettengineering09]

Thanks for the nice words, regarding the amount of boards is really up to you, more boards = more details

[@rollingsculpture2413]

Wow, amazing work, can't wait to see the finished car! 👍👍

[@ilistentoshoegazeandimdead8014]

Impressive, i never see this type of construction on KZbin. All Project cars alredy have the Fiberglass Body finish, but the Whole process of construction is what i always wanted to see, this is really helpfull to my plans to make ( in future ) my Dream car. Cheers from brazil 😊

Much appreciated!

[@genefogarty5395]

I made a lot of 1/4 scale prototypes using a product called Viewpoint some years ago. It was an extremely high density, ultra lightweight mesh backed foam that was available in thicknesses up to 3" and sheets to 2'x4', it was divided into whatever size you chose 1/4x1/4, 1/2x1/2 etc. and bonded over the mesh to contour to molds, frames, etc. You could lay glass cloth over it and use hardener or just use resin directly brushed on. I can't find anything like it anymore, it was great stuff for body building.

[@sonettengineering09]

OK, never heard about that product over here

Holy cow, that looks like time travel. If you ever do this again would you please put a clock in the background of the work so we can see how time is passing with the time lapse. I know you gave times at the beginning but I wanted to see it in real time. BTW are those real times? That is insane.

[@sonettengineering09]

Hi, the time you see approx. 2 minutes into the video is of course the time in minutes when different parts of the building are shown. The buck took approx. 250h over 9 months

What Cad program did you use? Great job, looking forward to the chassis , Is it going to be a space frame or a Monocoque. Hope you get hundreds more subscribers, it going to be a great project to follow.

[@sonettengineering09]

I 'am using Solid Works for this one, the chassis is a tubeframe with rear and a 180° flipped front from a 1965 Saab 96, see Part 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXrIqmZ8rJ5piNk

Great project, look forward to seeing more. How long did it take from starting to make the buck, too having a finished mold?

[@sonettengineering09]

Thanks, it took 9 months

[@wranga88]

nice work, looks like a great project underway! Did you create the buck plans yourself or are they something that can be purchased from a supplier?

We make bodywork in a very similar way in our formula sae team, I think it would be useful if you documented all the difficulties in lamination as well as building your dream car

[@sonettengineering09]

@davidaugustofc2574 Yes it is a good idea to document all the difficulties, is there anything special you think about regarding the difficulties in lamination?

Hej! Intressant projekt som ska bli kul att följa. Vad är det för "duk" du använder vid 22:33? Vanligt tyg eller? Snyggt jobbat!

[@jimmyfahad7142]

Excellent work man Just for query..how do you get the shape dimensions of the small model car into big dimensions for the actual big car?

[@sonettengineering09]

Hi, I used a profile gauge on the model, then I took a photo of the profile gauge along with a ruler, imported it into CAD so I could scale it to 1:1

[@eppot1]

Trevlig video.. hur fick du ut spanten från modellen?? scannade du modellen?? masonit och sedan gips indränkt lakansväv? sen vanligt väggspackel.. använde du vanlig polyesterplast och glasfiber och standars gelcoat till formen?? Är tanken att göra flera karosser eller bara en? jag har själv gjutit en porsche 356 cupé kaross i en form som gjordes på en dålig Pre A 56 för ca 20 år sedan.. bygget kommer för enkelhets /ekonomi skull baseras på en modifierad vw bubbla bottenplatta.och blir inte nödvändigtvis porsche i alla lägen då det ju är en plastkaross på ej original schassie.. kul att se detta bygget utvecklas !!! har du kanske någon byggtråd på något forum?? var i sverige finns bygget?? / Michael

[@sonettengineering09]

Tack, jag använde en konturmall, som jag la på ett papper, fotade av och la in i ett CAD programet, där jag kunde skapa en ritning. Formen är som du skrev gjord av ployesterplast och glasfiber 450g matta och även lite vävd matta. På vissa ställen har jag förstärkt med 10mm tjock divinycell. Budget har varit ledordet i bygget så, matta polyester och gelcoat kommer från Biltema Jag har i dagsläget inga planer på att göra fler karosser då det är rätt mycket jobb Den "byggtråden" jag har är mitt instagramkonto "sonett_engineering" //Henrik

[@CorCor-mq8vm]

So the finished body panels are slightly larger than the original or is the jig somewhat smaller?

[@sonettengineering09]

Hi the body panels will be the same as the jig {the buck) From the buck you make the tooling / the mold, so you have the negative form. Then you make the body panels in that mold

[@sonettengineering09]

Ps. see part 2 for more info.

[@drivingjunk7630]

[@sonettengineering09]

[@marjanm7436]

Do you have to have a cale model, to create mould unreal scale? Could you create mould by using geometrical parameters from, for example, car magazine with some drawings? Cool project.😮

[@sonettengineering09]

Hi, yes you could use parameters from, for example, car magazine with some drawings, if you are good at it. But I don´t have that skill in using surface modeling. For me it was easier to use the scale model and a profile gauge to transfer it to CAD

[@marjanm7436]

@@sonettengineering09 so I understand what you did is you have divided every single part of small scale mould and redrawn in to 1:1 scale on AutoCAD, printed on A4 format paper sheets and, folded in to ready pattern on, plywood or MDF, and cut? There's no scale model of car I want to build. Again great job. I was wandering is my thinking process is ok🤪

Whats the white filler youve use out of the tubs bud ,is like a fine casting powder,a freind of mine is wants to follow the same processes youve done

[@sonettengineering09]

Hi, it’s not a powder, it is expanding foam

[@chrishay8385]

So what is the white filler you skimmed the buck with then,I see you used the expanding foam to rough shape areas

[@sonettengineering09]

The white filler is a regular wall plaster

Sir i am trying to make buck for beetle but failed again i am not ablr to get the excat values of car from miniature can you guide me

[@sonettengineering09]

Exact values is difficult, in my case scale 1:43 means that if I measure 1mm wrong it will be 43mm wrong on the buck. I used a profile gauge over the scale modell, then take a photo of the profile gauge and import that into CAD, and even used a caliper

Its nothing against you, i dont think you did that....... Please continue make videos. I like your inventiveness (not "musically") but wihout this ............ stuff. I stopped watching a british contentmaker because of similar reasons. They were building a fibreglass-replica of a Mercedes Gullwing witch they where putting on a more modern plattform from the same brand. The fibreglass-body whas made by a replicamanufacturer. Their content whas interesting but the music whas equally bad in a different way. What is up with certain carpeople and this i dont now what to call it. Please just stop. You will get more views and subscribers. Probably also more interesting comments on your behalf than this. Maybe try what they call ASMR or less intrusive "sounds". I will rewatch the video silent.
