Falcata

time to glass this thing !!! When I make molds I like to build a base for the part to stand up , it makes it so much easier to work on .

some more on the roof scoop , like I said it took way too long ........ The nose cap will be how the front gets attached to the roof to hold it on

Roof Scoop , this sounds easy to make ......first the cardboard mock up then foam board , we can't get the green foam board the guys in the US get which you can glass right over , the blue stuff melts with just about anything you touch it with , so i cover it with tinfoil first , what a pain , because it's great to work with you can cut shape sand all very easily .The roof scoop is just for the cool factor plus it helps keep the roof rigged , and will be removable to change the windshield if required , and house the third brake light . I have to say now in retrospect , if I was to build this again I would not have done it this way , it took way too long . But it turned out ok in the end .

Some more on the rear deck area . Taping up the underneath in case any resin gets through here I am making patterns to trace onto some super thin fiberglass sheet that I made to go in here Here is the thin glass

Continuing on with the rear deck area . Building the trunk ( rear bonnet ) opening This raised perimeter once glassed will be cut so that there will be a standing edge for the trunk seal to slid over my plan was to cut this guitar shape out after the rear deck was finished and it would become the bottom of the opening lid . Next is adding some stiffening to to this piece with some bars going across . I use lasers levels to help keep everything as level and symmetrical as possible .

Thanks for the kind words chaps , I have over 1000 picks of the build so hang on for some cool stuff !!! Lets continue with the rear hatch / trunk of the car shall we . Ok this piece is a buck to make the cover for the rear suspension tower brace . I was originally planing to have a small rear window , but I just couldn't get the the water to flow over the suspension brace , so with all the rear view camera tech out there I decided to delete the window all together

Hi everyoneI am building a complete new body for my Nissan 350 ZI have and been at it for almost two years and can finally see some light at the end of the tunnel . Getting started I built a dust collection system that spins 360 degrees because as we all know fiberglass dust is no fun , next was to build some wooden wheels to simulate the new wide ones to help with clearances and fender lips . the rear hatch and window is deleted and replaced with a smaller trunk lid .
