Pico Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Plug, made from epoxy putty, for vacuum forming the rear window. I squish it into the opening, then carve and sand it to shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I didn't know this car existed until you started this project. I think it's the most beautiful of all the road-going Ferraris. Always inspiring to watch a master working, someone who has the old-school sculptural skills as well as CAD and 3D printing capability. Fine, fine, fine.

Pico Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 Time to make the bumpers. I'm using what is called high density urethane. It's not high density unless you compare it to styrofoam. I have since gotten some renshape which is twice as dense and will be better suited, but a bit harder to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used what is called high density urethane. But it is high density only in relation to styrofoam, it is actually not very dense. The reason that I'm using it is I was never able to find any reasonably priced Renshape on ebay; until recently. I'm now using the Renshape on another project and it's much superior. Don't use this urethane, I've found finger nails will mar the surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
