    Really enjoying watching your build videos mate, It is great to see someone else not afraid to go against the purists and build a Cobra to suit your tastes and talents. Don't get me wrong, I love original type replica's aswell. Keep the ideas coming👍

    You are doing really well! I have prepped a few cars, but am not good at it. Always left the bulk to professionals.

      Thanks for the note. I’m feeling my way through the body work. Im just going to take my time and not give myself a schedule, which is hard for me.

    Fiberglass (and carbon fiber too I'd imagine) is such a creative medium. In the hands of an artist at heart, one can do amazing things. I'm going to keep it REAL simple and hope a layer of two of carbon fiber on the center shift console won't be too much for me.
    The car is looking great albeit kinda dusty. LOL

      Fiberglass really is a fun medium to work in. It’s very forgiving and there you are only limited to imagination in terms of what you can make. A nice bonus is that it’s incredibly strong as well.
      Dusty? YES!!! My car, my neighbors car and everything I own is dusty. :)

    Another enjoyable build video. Maybe I missed it in an earlier vid but have you decided what color you're going with? I see you have some plastic covering over the rear brakes but not the front. Was this to help keep the body dust off? Did you cover the engine bay at all? Cleaning up the dust from the interior and engine bay is going to be a chore!

      I haven’t decided on a color yet. I know it will likely be an earthy tone color- I seem to gravitate to Porsche browns and greens, definitely not what you usually see on these cars.
      The plastic over the passengers side rear brake was to keep it clean while I did the fiberglass work in the gas cap- just forgot to take it off.
      Yes, the motor has plastic wrap both top and bottom. I can imagine cleaning it would be very difficult.

    I'd try polyU resin and Styrofoam form
    Great job in the end

    • @randomwerks3763

      Yes, the styrofoam approach was something that I considered. I opted for this type of fab because it seems a bit easier to get that top radius and carpet recess more consistent.
      But yes, it was a little clumsy:)

    Everything is looking good. I will be doing my own bodywork on my Type 65 and am a complete novice, so I am very interested in your work. What grit sandpaper did you use to scuff the body?

    • @randomwerks3763
      @randomwerks3763  Рік тому

      I blocked/scuffed the body to 120. Then I will use a DA with 220 over the entire body prior to priming. The DA is a little tricky to use so just sticking to the flatter panels. Hand sanding 220 in the tighter areas.

      Very helpful. Are you going to use a primer , sand, and then use a sealer before base? I have been watching a lot of videos and I am trying to understand the overall process as applicable to these gel coat bodies. Given that you are new to this process too your perspective is valuable to me.

    • @randomwerks3763

      Yes, several coats of primer, block sand with a guide coat, then a sealer. Then on to the base coat color and finally the clear coat. All the small parts that I’m painting are a huge part of the process. Most probably don’t paint the chrome stuff but I am in my build. The sanding, and prepping of all these parts is taking days and days.
