Well, haven't worked with coroplast before, and i didn't even thought on it.
But i'm interested to know how to work with it if is useful for other parts of the car.

I don't like to work with fiberglass, but I'm curious where the process fell apart. There was a rough form at permalink #201. Was it smoothed? Did you apply any cloth and resin?
The new nose: One piece of... aluminum? galvanized steel?

It wasn't for the smoothness of the mold, it was for time reasons ( the race season starts on January 12 ) and because the mold wasn't perfect
, in fact far from it, it was asymmetrical and kind of " dented".
So after losing so much time with the foam, It annoyed me, i got angry and i decided that doing it with metal was the best option.
Galvanized steel 0.7 mm of thickness.

Whatever method of fabrication you wind up with, I suggest nice generous radii on all leading surface transitions. And pay as much attention to the rear of the machine as the front, if not moreso.

The Rear is the Next Project!
i think that no one liked the nose
on January 17 i will race the gravity racer, i will record the race and use dashware, what do you think, should i use the wool test on the race to see the aero effects of the nose?
