THANK YOU for linking the foam. I've been shopping around online for an hour trying to decide if what I was looking at would do the job. This looks perfect.
I had always though of using expansion foam to create the shapes I wanted but it had never crossed my mind to use solid foam pieces! Thanks for your your uploads
This episode was awesome! I really enjoyed all the vids of your earlier overfender builds, I hadn't thought of building a template from wood before. I really want to make some of these for my 2000 2.5RS. I've also been thinking it would be cool to do a rally light pod. I've messed around with this stuff at work before a little but you have sparked the creative fires in me and I want to make something! Keep the great videos coming! im really excited the see the final episode!
Dude, i'm so stoked it's inspired you. My whole goal is to help and inspire people with their builds. There's nothing more fun or satisfying than making something completely custom from scratch. Thank you for checking out the channel!
I stand corrected, I think you should keep the kit low (from hood to top of kit) and match it to the body line. I honestly can’t wait to see your channel blow up, i have no problem seeing you enter The tier of like TJ hunt, B is for Build etc and throwing down! Much love from the US!
Yeah people who pay others to do the job when they get something half decent..when they do it themself its shit work..this guy makes his stuff just like me...so much more to respect...true custom work!!
Hi buddy, came across your channel tonight and watched all the over fender videos straight through and subscribed. Looking forward to part 6. Really interested in this kind of work as I've just developed a fibreglass high top roof for the campervans I build but would have loved to have worked with that foam would have made life a lot easier. Keep the videos coming!
Make sure you test your resin + fiberglass on some scrap foam first to be safe! I've tried to lay fiberglass on top of instant expanding foam (from an aerosol can) and there was a bad chemical reaction where the resin never cured. In fact it started to melt and deform the foam sculpting underneath.
Got my decal and note from you last week so thanks again for that. I put it on the wall in my garage to keep me motivated. Great video as always. Keep up the great work!
Make a test on a scrap peice i had epoxy resin melting this foam.try polyesther resin if ever! Good luck i really like the shape!im an old subb when u were working on the svx bodykit keep at it!
I know you're sick but please wear a mask in the future when sanding the foam. I'm a product designer and use foam a heap for model making and definitely know how bad it is sucking that stuff in. Awesome to see another design on the ute mate, looks sweet
Glad you like it dude. I totally dropped the ball that day, i had been doing some DIY at home and left my mask there. I work in a paint shop so a mask is pretty much permanently on my face haha
Dude, great video content. Kinda makes any overfender effort super easy. Thanks for sharing. Kinda would be cool to do this to my E31 S85 swap while I still can. But you kinda make it look easy. lol. We should collab sometime!
@@BuildCreate do you happen to have a link to where you buy from? There seem to be a lot of variants and would like to make sure I get the same to give this a try
Heyyyyy when did the name of the channel change. Although I like build create, i'm quite fond of the original name Pneuma Chris. Also what is that intro song. I'd love to hear a full version. Also I think you should always do 80s synthwave on your channel it'll help to make it stand out
Sound Driven Official I changed it a few months ago. I liked the og name but build create is a lot easier remember/spell. Plus it works with the merch. The song is called ‘running in the night’ by FM-84
BrandonS350 don’t worry, that’s not the final ride height. I recently installed softer springs to the coilovers and it dropped the front. I’ll raise it up and make sure it clears.
Hey and greetings from Scotland. Just seen this. Just what I’m looking for. What resin did you use? And do you have a link for that silver tape? Cheers 👍🏼
Search for 'polyurethane foam sheet' any decent fibreglass suppliers will stock it. you can go up to 100mm in thickness, which is amazing for shaping big projects. If you are in the UK i can link you to a place.
One trick is to use the foil tape on the body. It sticks better then use the hot glue on the foil tape the hot glue the foam to that. You will find it sticks better and yoh Cando your shaping without coming off.
@@BuildCreate I didn't watch the hole video if I did I wouldn't have mentioned it. Just trying to help , I am a fiberglass customizer for 30 years and have used this since the early 90's . Anyway keep doing what you do ...thx
Adrien Gadson I appreciate the advice non the less dude, I’m always happy to hear people opinions and advice. I love to learn new techniques and getting advice more experienced people is always welcome.
@@BuildCreate you can also lay the foil tape on the foam and make sure it is smooth and cast yourself pretty good mold for making composite parts. Speeds up the process of bodywork and priming. You just need to have the surface filled with body filler and close to shape.
Alimin 91 it’s currently at my work. Just waiting for my buddy to get some spare time so we can make a mold out of it. I thought I’d just carry on putting out videos instead of having a huge gap of no content.
Why dont you just tin tape over the foam. Release wax or PVA the tin tape lay up the fender and youll have a skin for the start of a mold or a part. also lay down masking tape on the car body and tin over that. its easier to remove from the car body then tin tape.
that's definitely an option dude, i'll still give the foam an initial coat of resin just to firm it up before anything else. So far it's not been a problem taking off the tin tape, but i hear you with the masking tape! Thanks for the input dude :)
@@BuildCreate Ok do it the hard way by all means. Putting A lay of resin on to the foam then what? More work to get back to a good finish so you release to lay up on top of that? long process. Tin tape more then adequate to stabilize the form to lay up over to pull a skin. speaking from experience.
@@DjTRex08 Bearing in mind this is the first time i've used this stuff. The initial plan was to resin the structure and lay fibreglass tissue over that. This was recommended to me from the specialist who gave me the foam. after that was cured i planned to pva coat that then lay the glass. But! i've just been looking on the foam suppliers site and have found they do a specific hi build gloss primer that you apply directly to the foam, sand smooth and release off of that. All food for thought. I appreciate the input from your experience dude, it's all a learning curve.
@@BuildCreate My apologies if ive come off over bearing. 1 youve got everything there foam, resin and tin tape. Tin tape, release, glass you will have you'll have a hard skin shell with in hours. Going the other route. Priming, sanding, releasing, glassing and so on. there a couple days work in it not to mention more materials and cost. In saying that do what you feel is the right thing for you.
Call me funny but I build my cars out of metal.......nearly lost my shit when ya used a hot glue gun to attach it to the car lmfao don't hit any bumps and be careful shutting the door she might disintegrate lolol hot glue gun and foam lololololololol
Jonny Mud Mower do you think I’m going to just leave it like that? This is just shape to be fiberglassed. You’ve got to be fucking stupid to think I’m going to run it like that. Lololololololololololololololololol
Nice Work.... Question - why do you Guys always wear Caps.... are u all bold in young Age or afraid of something? Or is it a "style"-Thing? Sorry, looks just stupid and for a grown up Person a little Childish wearing it the wrong way.... just saying. Or is there bad Weather in your Shop? and when buying one the next time, get the right Size that you don´t need to squeeze your Ears inside..... how about that? It´s actually a sign of good manners to take a Cap / Hat or whatever you wear off when entering a Building.

I actually clicked to see the SVX, but this was really cool to watch!
Plenty of videos on the SVX! Appreciate you checking it out.
Never seen a lowered Brat before, nice. Like your svx too I've had a few of them, very under appreciated.
What type of foam is it that you used to make the shape?

That foam is a life changer ! Great Job dude 👊🏼
Nice one Bruvva. Almost got me keen for a low car. Not quite, but almost
I've been using 2" thick foam insulation board for moulding my arches, it's great
You should try getting hold of some of this stuff, you can apply resin directly to it and it wont deteriorate at all and will go rock solid.
@@BuildCreate Yea, I've been fiberglassing straight onto it :)
Thanks to you videos I’m motivated to start the arches on my Bmw e30, shout out from Cape Town.🙏🏿
Zak Mey that’s so awesome to hear dude. Good luck with your build 🤙🏻
ill be honest, looking to undertake this, but over fibreglassing will be getting it fab'd up and welded in as needed majorly on the rear

I've tried to lay fiberglass on top of instant expanding foam (from an aerosol can) and there was a bad chemical reaction where the resin never cured. In fact it started to melt and deform the foam sculpting underneath.
Don't worry this stuff is designed specifically to work with resin and not degrade, and i doubled checked just to make sure haha.
If you use expanding foam put a layer of body filler on before the resin, it works a treat!!!!
Got my decal and note from you last week so thanks again for that. I put it on the wall in my garage to keep me motivated.
Great video as always. Keep up the great work!
I'm glad it arrived safe dude! The fact that it motivates you is more than i could ever ask for. Keep building my man.

RygarTheDestroyer I can’t wait to see them too dude! Really excited to play more with this stuff.
@@BuildCreate I can't wait to watch. I always drop everything when I see one of your uploads :)
Great use of foam!
How do you fill in the million tiny hole in the foam? And how do you give the foam strength?
Looking good much better design. Other design could still look good though keep the hard work up man! Garages are lifesavers
i love both, but i am leaning towards the latest shape. I forget how lucky i am to have my workshop.....i'd be screwed without it.
Excellent! That's so quick. You could pretty much make any part now 😀
Kyusha Style Tuning you’d love this stuff dude, it’s so much fun!
Try warming up a scrap piece and seeing if you can bend it and if it will hold when it cools
I'll give that a try!
@@BuildCreate ua-cam.com/video/BSuEIMpj_S4/v-deo.html i seen it here.
What size rims and tires are you running on the brat? I can’t wait to see the end results

Is this the same foam used on studios for sound isolation?
Can you be more specific on the type of polyurethane foam sheet? I'm pulling up all kinds of options. Can you link it in the description.
Link's now in the description dude.
Good vid, I am wanting to make a new bumper/spoiler for my starion, because the original one is quite ugly; I want to use polyurythane like you do

How about trying out the EVA foam that's use to make anime props.
I've not dude, but i shall check it out! Thanks for the heads up.
Great job..!!

Worked a little more on it today, I’ll have another video up in the next week.
Do i just buy one or four?
I think the arch needs to come up higher, it looks like the tires going to hit the fender when you turn.
BrandonS350 don’t worry, that’s not the final ride height. I recently installed softer springs to the coilovers and it dropped the front. I’ll raise it up and make sure it clears.

dont apply fiberglass and resin directly on the foam. it will eat away the foam. youll need a isolating layer in between.
Not with polyester resin
