Resin time.....stupid resin...they should note out ...shake before use.



After fiberglassing...the procedures ...fiberglass mat on the inside of the cloth. didnt take picture coz hand gloves full with resin...remember to wear rubber gloves..must wear.


Me busying with bodyfill...gf help me to take picture.


After body fill....looks like sh1t...i found out if you dont want to have a rough bodyfill...the trick is...put alot less harderner and toast it under 100 watt bulb over night...better like this.


now grind the surface with power drill.


bodyfill again and handsanding and you got it done.


part 2 to be continue.

Stretchable? 003???  /152 /152

Honestly, how about those suede? Looks nice IMO... The PVC tends to make it looks plasticky...
