Maybe I could have made my comment more clear last week. Use the paper based tape in one direction, then the Packing tape over that in a perpendicular direction. This helps reduce sags and produces a clean release surface.

Use Panel Bond to adhere the fenders to the car and then use a sort of putty to blend the panel onto the original body and then sand it all smooth. The fenders do look great though and even. I was worried they would look a little off from one another due to the different ways you went about forming them on either side. I also like the wider stand the car has in the rear end now. Not that it was bad before but it looks really good now. A mark improvement for sure. Well done.

I did something similar. I laid the tape on just like you, then put one thin coat of fiberglass and resin on the tape, it helps protect the blue tape from sagging. Once it dries you can go back to the putty method. I actually then used thick polyester primer right on the putty, it worked way better than sanding hardened bondo. I was suprised the primer stuck to the the putty.

Impressive , definitely picking up on speed and end result. For further work and viewers, after finishing plaster shaping, seal this with a very light coat of spray paint (primer), so it doesn't wet / soak the plaster, then a couple of quick coats over this. This will give an even better finish, which as you have found translates to fiberglass finish, but also will prevent issue of plaster sticking to back of new panel. As far as shaping plaster and later finished fiberglass panel, either make or get a long panel sander, makes achieving flowing panel lines much easier. Great work, great results, seriously impressed

In Canada, we have drywall mud (powder form) that comes in 3 different drying (curing) rates. Called sheetrock 20, 45, and 90 It cures in that time roughly. Never use that pre mixed stuff. Only use it for fine pin holes in a nice wall, that's been mudded already. Also, use tape or mud as the form like you did, then the drywall mud (use the powder form), then once the mud is done, you must use packing tape to cover the mud. Then fiberglass over the clear taped mud. Fiberglass does not stick to packing tape. Also, your new panel fits pretty tight tight with the car, so just gluing it on with panel adhesive might work. I had to glue and screw on a new fiberglass rear bumper I ordered for my 81 Camaro. The contact patch mating against the car was way less than ideal to just glue it on, it would have broken off. What I did was put clear tape all around where the new bumper would touch the steel car. Then, I predrilled 4 riv-nuts per side, and loosely bolted it on to where it had to go. Then I scuffed up the new fiberglass bumper, mixed up this stuff called "kitty hair", it looks a applied like bondo, comes in gallon size tubs, but it is actually thick resin mixed with fiberglass strands. I added the hardener, plopped a bunch of it all around the flange till it ooozed out, and then bolted on the bumper loosely, back to where it had to go. Then I went under the car, and jammed more kitty hair into the void in between the bumper and car. Let it harden, then take it off and dress it up. Add panel adhesive and bolted it on nicely. (the glue had more surface contact now). Then blended it all out with fiberglass 😊

That 2nd fender came out great. The side skirt detail adds a nice touch. I have watched quite a few people attempt these creations. You have had the best planning and outcome from what I have seen so far. Would it not be easier to make a mold of the fender you prefer most? That way you know they match and you can always recreate a 3rd in case something bad happens.

the tape and plaster idea might work if you put extra tape over it in a crosshatch since the tape will move some and the plaster is more rigit , it might crumble when you apply pressure to it while sanding another "cheap"idea you might be able to try is paper machee (newspaperstrips soaker in wallpaper glue , once dried it gets pretty hard and you can sand it , allso can fill deep parts by crumpling up pieces of put pieces that are folder a few times and the lay more strips over it , does schrink some i believe

Go to the florist shop and get the green foam they use. glue it in strips with a small amount of hot glue. you can put more glue between the foam blocks than on the body Build up the foam then you can shape it with sand paper and cheese grater from body supply Use cheap bondo to coat the foam and achieve final shape Primer and sand to smooth finish Wax mold release pva gel coat fiberglass Now you have a mold for future replacement parts Reverse the fiberglass process for you parts

It's been a while since I saw your progress, your had just a few dozen subs when I started watching you... Great job! I love your work! Instead of mounting those new fenders and-is, it might be best to use them as molds. The *inside* of those fenders are the perfect shape, not the outside. And that way, you can control the thickness of the finished fenders, and you can lay support materials into the fenders, and the finish would be smoother. Just a suggestion... Keep up the great work!

It is much easier to work with fleece. First layer with masking tape is smart to get the shape. And next layer should be fleece with resin with slow hardener. Cut it out roughly. Soak it and roll out allmost all resin before applying ot on the car . It is strechable and easy to work with like a wrap . Lay it down on the car and roll it out. Let it dry, sand it and continue with stranded fibre glass.

Ah ha I've been doing exact same method experiments. I did package tape. Then fiber glass cloth one layer. Now you have a stable enough surface. If you use Epoxy instead of polyester resin. You can buy a gallon for 99$. Online. It's 20% tougher. So this one layer is cost effective to make a good surface once dey you can sand prime and body fill if need be for a buck. The plaster compound works great as Bondo but it need support it is not fiber glass and resin. Drying time, cracking when thick can't move it too fragile.my method using package tape, then Cloth ( not mat = to lumpy) and polyester resin or cheap two part table top epoxy makes faster ,work a hella less SANDING and a strong enough movable part.

Did you try dense cell foam yet? Easy to sculpt, doesn’t sag.

@@ElectricSuperCar I don't have a particular product, I had made some fiberglass brake ducts a few years ago. I started with house construction large sheets of dense foam. I got large pieces, like 4ft x 2ft by 2 or 4 inches thick from lowes/home depot (it was green in color if that matters). It's really tight cell, so you can cut with a knife, you can use an oscillating tool, sandpaper (like 80 grit) or a wood-planing handheld tool. You can make really smooth surfaces and exacting corners. I glued 2 sheets together with gorilla glue or spray glue, to make it double thick, then sculpted it. It is very messy b/c the foam dust goes everywhere, that's the worst part, so lots of vacuuming and wear a particle mask so not to breathe it in. But it's super light, and easier than clay. Obvi it's got its own structural stiffness, so it doesn't sag like tape. Then you can fiberglass right on top of it. For my ducts, I dissolved the foam from the inside, my mentor said use gasoline, but that's awfully smelly, there might be other chemicals to eat it away, if you needed to. If I was making your fenders, I would not even worry about removing the foam, it hardly adds much weight and helps with panel stiffness. Professional car designers make models from foam like this. I think the current process is that a rough shape of the car is made with huge foam blocks, then carved, then they still lay soft clay to form it. Of course don't use clay for your car, just saying that's how concept car designs start out life.

Awesome work again!!!! Front wheel arches look spot on!!! The rear arches and fibreglass work looks brilliant man. I wasnt sure the drywall would work at first but you've taught me a lesson there and the clean up was much less. I'm so looking forward to this being finished and your grin when driving. Am I allowed to ask about the finish paint?

Hey Friend! The drywall compound was something I had in my garage. www.lowes.com/pd/SHEETROCK-Brand-3-5-Quart-Premixed-All-purpose-Drywall-Joint-Compound/3009537 There is probably a better compound for this type of application, but this will work. The resin is fiberglass resin if I understand your question correctly. www.walmart.com/ip/Bondo-Fiberglass-Resin-00404-0-9-Gallon/17130349
