The goal is to make the skirt mold into the body better, just so it can look a lot nicer.
The Tools:
1. West Systems 105 Epoxy Resin
2. West Systems 207 Clear Hardener
3. West Systems mini pumps (these are a real time saver, they automatically pump exactly the 3:1 ratio needed for mixing)
4. Mixing sticks
5. Rubber gloves
6. Acetone
7. Fiberglass (woven is easier to work with and cut, but more expensive)
8. Painters mask
9. 3 Paint brushes
10. Painters tape and gorilla tape
11. Foil
12. Plastic cups
Before shots:
Took out the aluminum cross bar and reshaped it to reduce the angle so the skirt can sit as close to the wheel as possible. Then once the skirt is finished, hopefully it'll be sturdy enough where I wont need the cross bar.
Ensuring enough clearance:
Prepping the work area
Prepping the overall shape and placement of the skirt:
Fiberglassing:
Gotta let it cure overnight. Hopefully it's sturdy enough where it'll keep its shape because coroplast is flexible, yet still pretty stiff if you try to bend it too much (hence the need for gorilla tape). Otherwise, gonna add more layers of fiberglass.
