futurattraction Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Your Chevy II P/M was a fantastic project and this Vette is following in it's footsteps. The thing is, this is even cooler because of your custom body master. It looks out of this world so far, Rickard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurattraction Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Rickard, I've got a couple questions for you regarding your mold and resin. It looks like you've got a single injection point in the center of the roof, with vents at each end. Assuming I'm correct in that observation, do you have any particular trouble with trapping air anywhere? My second question: what brand of resin did you use to cast your bodies and what kind of cure time is it? Thanks... Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSD Promag 44... Thanks for posting these pictures. I've wondered why my attempts to use a dremel as a lathe turned out so poorly. I didn't use a stable base or the right type of cutting tool. Now, I'm anxious to try it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSD Promag 44... Rickard, so I have to ask what are you using to turn the styrene down? It looks like they are Xacto blades that are broken off or are you suing something different? What are you using to make the concave section of the Mag towards the bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
