Molds are done! First side complete! Sky-gea build: Part 22

[@chooktin78]

Absolutely loving this series! Your workmanship is amazing!

[@grassegarage]

so much work....now I understand why the good quality widebody kits are so expensive. Love your work. keep on going. best regards from germany

[@diklongley01]

Astounding work! I've yet to spot ANY shortcuts you've taken in the whole process. Its all honest-to-goodness, thorough, quality workmanship.

[@saleempiano]

You are by faaaaaaaaar the cleanest person to the point where I wanted to start talking junk at you but really like I would say thanks for your effort but really that’s TOO LITTLE FOR WHAT YOU REALLY DESERVE FOR doing so much for us ❤🎉😊

[@mattr4078]

Been waiting for this video all day, addicting build series bro!

[@TofuAutoWorks]

Thanks man, always cool to hear!

[@toniweak]

36:30 :D I love this series. I cannot wait to see the finished kit on the car.

[@sulemaniakiri]

That's the neatest fiberglass work I have ever seen!!!!! Greetings from Kenya.

[@GuntanksInSpace]

The molds are looking stellar, and holy crap that's a lot of sanding! Even more than usual!

[@RooMan93]

I may have been sat this whole time in my comfy gaming chair watching you do all the work, but I still feel this was a team effort.

[@TofuAutoWorks]

Yeah man we crushed this one, good job team!

[@quakxy_dukx]

I just spent the last 25 hours on a train and it sucked. Your incredible work has made me feel a bit better

[@TofuAutoWorks]

Sorry to hear that, but glad these videos could help you out.

[@troywilliams2101]

Best how to videos I've seen on KZbin

[@Floris_VI]

Its mindblowing how much work goes into this project, i cannot wait to see how everything turns out!!!

[@TherieMade]

You definitely have a passion for this project. Great job congrats on the dedication!

[@64Pete]

You're a craftsman and and artist, no word a lie. It's an education watching you work. Thanks, and stay safe. ✌🇦🇺

[@christophefrerot3031]

Ces un kit que tu vas fabriquer et mettre en vente après avec tout les moules que tu fais, je pense que tu trouverais preneur, même si ces à petites échelle, tu sera le seul fabricant d’un kit unique qui déchire, 👍👍👍👍👍

[@daedalus_20v]

This man sweeps up all his loose fiberglass trimmings and paints it green to make a lawn and I think that's beautiful. 🥲

[@Calyum]

Looks awesome as, something like this needs to be showcased at a show like sema or the Tokyo auto salon!

[@Ninjaturtlemadness]

Just have to say mate, as a long time watcher/subscriber of yours, and an even longer collector of Hot Wheels, congrats on having your Miata chosen as your round winner !!!! 🤘 Cant wait to have the mini version a part of my collection 😊$

[@peterobinson5228]

Top notch work! As a mold maker myself the only critique I would have is your clothing options. How do you not itch like crazy?!?!

[@cyclonicleo]

So much work, but the prep paid off. Well done!

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

I’ve been looking to design a wide body kit for my ford streetka so looking around for pointers as I’m new to it and found your vids . Impressive skills dude , lots and lots of work but your results speak for themselves you really know your stuff and your attention to detail is amazing ! Super job enjoyed the vid and learned a lot 👍

[@tshart942]

Quel travail de fou... 😱 superbe boulot. Un grand bravo. 👏👏👏

[@drericshannonparr]

Great idea to make longer videos from more material. Sometimes, people want to see more of the processes such as the hiccups, mistakes, and production flaws, too. Looking great, brother.

[@TofuAutoWorks]

Cheers mate, that was my thinking yeah. I figured I'd just film everything and make the video as long as it needs to be and people can just skip through it if they want or watch the whole thing. I find a lot of people appreciate having every single step shown so they can follow the process.

[@RFreak64]

The quality of not only work but content you put out is inspiring! Im currently working on a custom bumper for my Miata and watching you make these molds almost makes me want to make a mold of the bumper once its done and make a Carbon version for myself lol Keep up the good work brother.

[@ВалентинСавчишкин]

Мужик ты крут, столько упорства я еще не видел. Все очень круто получилось, мастерски сработал и показал. Спасибо за пояснения, с ними более все понятно.

[@AlteredCarbons]

great work man, ima head back and watch the other video's i missed. i cant wait to see the finished product.

[@СвятославКозак-я1д]

Awesome watched the video at one breath ❤️‍🔥

[@jotterson1156]

Such an intense amount of work

[@ReKo_noire]

Waiting for your videos is like waiting for christmas

helle guy, we have long video

[@Carlos.G]

This thing is awesome. Have not seen one of those in over 20 years! I would love to daily something like this ❤

[@xDannyBeats]

Absolutely great work man! I respect the amount of work going into these molds, not to mention the work to make an entertaining video. Thanks dude! Keep it up!

[@encrenoir6097]

This is next level meticulousness ❤❤❤

[@GR--gm6ge]

お疲れ様です！ 楽しみにしていた動画が公開されたのでソッコーで観ました！笑笑 いやぁー ジージア(G-GEA)良い感じですね～ 今回も長時間お疲れ様でした。 無理なさらずゆっくりと進めてください。

[@TomaAlimos27]

I don't know what to say, you already know you did a great job! ( Comment for the algorithm.)

[@orboffire]

amazing work my guy, this car gonna be one of a kind, looking forward for the end results :)

[@autopassion27]

The result is amazing 😮 great job mister!

[@911fabien911]

Unbelievable! What a job!!!

[@WalletMonkeys]

I love the commitment and focus, enjoying the channel!

[@leftoff3rd]

I enjoy this artistic video like a Hollywood movie.

[@ilyasminbagisov7313]

Oh, we need a trip to the nature with your Miata 🤩

[@Globule74]

I Can't wait to see how you will handle the symetrical opposite side molds/fenders

[@crackdbrain34]

As always love your work. I know you said you won't be fully bracing, but all our moulds, even small items were boxed with wood , simply for QOL , made buffing , and every step easier because they wouldn't move around, also we had holes for release with air. Chainsaw wedges are also excellent for release.

[@TofuAutoWorks]

Yeah I was debating adding a couple "legs" to the sideskirt moulds so that it would sit flat on a table, but these moulds ended up so heavy that they barely move around at all. But the crazy thing is I recently went through a few of my moulds and refurbished them and all the ones that had wood bracing ended up warping. I used to work as a building contractor and the quality of the timber here is absolutely shocking, even when I got the most expensive treated stuff I could, it still ended up bending and twisting my moulds. I've used air to release my moulds in the past but I've found I have no real need for it these days, lately I barely even go around the whole flange before the part comes out.

[@christophefrerot3031]

Hâte de la voir fini, un vrai quif pour ton taf afin de faire une réalisation unique, j’adore, 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@antbymcnair4297]

Absolutely incredible. I've loved each and every video

An incredible amount of work!

[@presetts7064]

Looking great. They are going to come out slick

[@Mr-ut7nj]

Thanks for this mega episode. I enjoy watching it!

[@exteriortuning]

hi, I'm applying a glass wool with a density of 100 to the first layer of the matrix. it fits perfectly on the corners without leaving even small bubbles.

[@Rachel_Remix]

あなたの作業は非常にクールです😍 応援しています！ 日本より🇯🇵

[@lecookz]

love these videos always

[@AnonCaliga]

👍🏻 Absolutely f**king love this channel. So relaxing to watch and the subtle little jokes that go unnoticed by most are hilarious. Keep up the great work and creativity bro! 👏🏻

[@GlassWerx]

Amazing work and a lot learned just from watching all your videos. Can't wait to see more and if you do pursue this as a business I wish u well and success because your work is too notch and I hope that I could be even half as good as you are when I get started on my parts

[@Dimian7]

Gah dayum mate, still sickest build on yt

[@ST3BN87]

Nice job

[@alpha8540]

Amazing work dude

[@davidfrancies8105]

Your giving my dual action sander performance anxiety! great video

[@jacobh.3546]

looks fantastic i cant wait to see more

[@mcfly9320]

[@Jay-the-Zed-slayer]

I thought I was the only one lol😂😂😂😂

[@d1specdrifter]

😂❤❤❤ another great video,bro. Very impressive. Keep up the great work.🤜🏼🤛🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@adriaannguyen3778]

Insane man, keep it up!

[@B-GAMING-hl6uu]

cant wait the final result 😈

[@Georgeeee23]

Love your work! For pinholes I usually use sprayable body filler, its even easier to sand then regular body filler. Only downside is that you need to let it cure for 5h minimum, so its a little bit more time consuming. And basically its as good as primer when you sand it down for mould making.

[@TofuAutoWorks]

Thanks for the suggestion! I've actually been looking into a sprayable filler to replace the final skim coat I do. I'm currently using a super high build filler primer which works pretty good. I do love how quick this glazing putty sets though when filling pinholes. By the time I have finished applying it to the part it's already dried on the first pinholes so I can just finish the whole process without having to wait. It's great.

[@thomashoekstra3037]

Nice job 👌🏼

[@jeanfrancoispoivre4438]

Oh mon dieu !!beaucoup de travail mais fantastique..😊

[@christophefrerot3031]

La qualité du kit est vraiment top top👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ezvizc6n-c2z]

keren sekali itu bang..rasanya jadi pengen belajar seperti itu...ini sungguh video yang sangat menginspirasi :]

[@tyasspage]

I guess sometimes you just gotta make your own kit 😆, very nice job

[@UYC.]

Amazing work😊

[@gordonzola7772]

Et voilà ! Nice !

[@OMYOXSS]

tidak sabar menunggu hasil nya 🤩

[@dadara1000]

Great work 👏

[@steammartian7705]

Being that I do fiberglass. I am far from making moulds or designing something to make a mould. But there is a bunch of us weirdos that love crvs. We need things 😂 they have zero for a body kit or a wide body. We have to be crafty and find parts from another car and chop it up to make it fit.

[@punjabipotato3525]

Too much from good shit, is bad shit... take a Brake, load your batteries and come back strong again... love your work, skills and your detailing... good Job bro...👍👍👍

[@chriswoodyear-smith5477]

Already know this outcome will be unreal. Makes me wish i didnt sell my stagea

[@FJDPerformance]

The horror flashbacks though 😂😂😂

[@esc3311]

19:30小鳥のBGMが良い感じですね！

[@eedgaar_9945]

Nice job!!

[@MeniscoManeiro]

This is surreal ❤

[@matthewhall435]

What a legend ! Could have just gone down to you local and ripped afew election signs down for some free corflut haha but anyway what an incredible job your efforts are seen !

[@hornox4life]

Almost ready! Next project: rear bumper? 😁

[@mohamedallie6430]

love your attention to detail. so know I suppose its all to do for the left side ? or do you have a quicker way to "copy and paste" ?

[@KawaRaider]

Yes!

[@E9JMX]

Unreal lad ❤️❤️❤️

[@СтаниславУшаков-у5з]

Excellent result! How will you mirror the other side?

[@presetts7064]

He had someone scan them. Probably 3D print them is my guess

[@albegt98]

good job man 👍💪

[@blackholepanda4575]

I really like you projects, they look so good. Where did you get the cyberpunk miata wheels

[@henriquecampolina7765]

what about those sideskirts in the miata in the background at 46:48 ? 🤔

[@ZenRacingForza]

You Sir a re AMAZING

[@СергейЖвакин-б9х]

Классно у тебя выходит, мне очень нравиться! 👍👍👍

[@josefhenriksson8199]

You should install nitrous for the miata

[@lukavanwoerden3473]

this is fkn awesome, Im new here so idk if you've already said stuff about it but to u plan to make this a purchasable kit for people who want to swap the front end? love the work and so happy to see this shit happening in nz!!

[@widebody_BMW]

Love your videos mate!❤ Im curious, what is the reason to use a filler on corners? Is it to avoid trapped air? You mix the poliester resin with hardener and add the filler?

[@vertycat]

Increible 😮😮😮😮 TOP 👌🏻👌🏻

[@fabbemark5686]

What is the benefits with using sealer over paint? Is it worth the time with having to sand all the way to 3000? No critique, just a question :) Loving this build!!!

[@TofuAutoWorks]

In my old video you'll see that I used a 2 part epoxy primer as my sealer and what happens with the tooling gelcoat and resin is the heat combined with the styrene that is produced from the moulding process attacks the top layer of the plug. Even with almost 10 layers of wax and PVA, the epoxy still reacted with the gelcoat and caused the plug to stick to the mould. The polyester based sealer is made from effectively the same material as the gelcoat and so it sets to a similar hardness and has much better chemical resistance. As you can see it definitely pays off with how easily these parts released from the moulds. All of them but the sideskirts came straight off before I'd even finished applying wedges to all the perimeter. The reason I sand to 3000 is because I like a high gloss finish on my mould surface as this means that the parts I make will release incredibly easily and save me a lot of time. The benefits with a high gloss mould are that you also don't need to rely on PVA as a release agent and for all of my seasoned moulds, I can apply a single layer of wax and polish it off before spraying gelcoat and get a perfect release every time. Why I sand the plugs and not the moulds, is it's usually easier to sand plugs than to try and sand inside a mould.

[@ChuckUnderFire]

When you take breaks and do other stuff, does dust become an issue with the buffed surfaces? Also, I can’t imagine how your skin must feel after all this fiberglass work.
