hi andrew,i use a 2 part casting resin. i cast a in square container or something round ,whatever is big enough for me to machine the part i want to make. the fairing on the back i made from wood just to get the radius the way i wanted and then cast a block in a small rectangular box and recarved it from that. the brand name is SRC but I'm sure there are plenty of quality brands.hi francis wow, your grill is fantastic. your whole project is so nice. -

thank you francis. very nice to hear from you tom. i have been moving forward ,coming up with ideas along the way. the beadroller works well.rear suspension is complete except the shocks. made the rollbar fairing in wood to get a final shape and then pored a square block of 2 part urethane and recarved it. got the mid plate engine mount done and the mounts for it soldered on the frame . the front engine mount are next. brake drums and backing plates are done .alot of the parts are things i have made in the past few years and am now putting together in this project. thanks for checking in. -
