86fierofun; The first layer should be entirely dry by morning, I'll see if I can tape off the windows for you before adding another couple layers....
Tony and moto; Thanks guys :P
S/A; I never really compared it to the GT40, but that is a neat observation! It'll look a little bit different with the tail light panel / spoiler in place. I'll give you a hint..
Even though I got cavalier tails for the car, I decided against using them to sort of keep the rear end a little more 'boxyish'. So I am going back in time and mocked a different set I already had in the garage  !
Thanks guys (back to work for me ;P) !

looks awesome so far... but my suggestion (a little to late now) would be to use a high temp release wax insted of ductape. I tried the duct tape and as resin will do with anything, you'll see lines from the ductape... For example, if you lay fiberglass on a piece of oak, using release wax,you'll be pulling the grain of the wood with the resin when your compleate...
Just be prepared to do a good bit of finishing when you pull the mold... Not bashing your approach, just telling you what to expect, as i also learned the hard way once on this approach...
Very unique look that your achieving tho... I like it.

my guess on the tail lights is the old firebird lights u had? and i think the diaper comment was cause the rear bumper look very thick on the photoshop, try bringing it towards the wheel more so not so much is sticking off the back [This message has been edited by Korupt (edited 07-02-2006).]

Ahh but you see this panel I have made 'isnt' a mold. It still needs finishing work no matter what. Depending on how much finishing work it needs , It will be my one off panel (sort of like using a mold on your car :P. I have about 4L of release agent that I tend to use on smaller things, but I didn't really feel the need on the rear clip.
Obviously I am giving myself more work, while having to finish sand all these panels. But thats just sorta what I do anyways.. lol Making a fiberglass mold, then a panel from that would cost me more $$ obviously hehe. So I'm substituting my time for cash spent on the car.
Thanks guys! I'll see about taping off those windows in a bit.

Here is sort of an idea of how the windows will go. The "arrowed" things will be outlets for the hot air to escape from.
