@Ashikabi Hopefully in the near future I will have learned how to paint well... that way a repaint wouldn't cost so much.

First mock-up... still plenty of design tweaks to come... I had to start somewhere. Final part will be fiberglass and will be fastened to fenders and side skirt extensions. The shape will flow with the fender better than the pictured mock-up. Should look dope when complete.
Using matte board for the mock-up process... it's rigid yet flexible... IG @zeal.eightsix |

2 layers of fiberglass so far... I'll add one maybe 2 more on the inside once out of my mold.

I still have to add 2 to 3 more layers and make the flange to will hold it to the fender (with hardware).
Shape is still a work in progress. I don't hate this form but I'm still going to try some other things... Out of the mold Wraps around.. Flows downward... IG @zeal.eightsix Last edited by zeal86; 03-02-2019 at 04:51 PM. |

process pics...
Molding this piece to connect to the other piece... I'll fiberglass then together... hardware will be embedded... nuts and star washers on inside of fenders. Cut up the bolt heads for more grip... Two layers of fiberglass on top... will be more glass once I mate the two parts together... IG @zeal.eightsix Last edited by zeal86; 03-04-2019 at 03:07 PM. |

Redo... the clamp I used to hold the two parts while bonding pulled the panel in too much...it was bowed beyond and easy fix. So I cut it and added back some fiberglass.
Once dry... I'll add more layers to the inside of the panel. Then I'll create a short lip around the edges for rigidity. I hope to have this filled, sanded, shaped, and primed soon. IG @zeal.eightsix |

Still some work to do but I'm happy to be at this point. I'll be cleaning up some things before starting on an addition to this design... if it works for me I'll post it soon.
The panel is in place but not tightend down in all pics except for the last. This panel will connect to the 1/4" thick ABS plastic sideskirt extension. Overall design is still fluid. IG @zeal.eightsix |
