Man I'm not even done this video .....I thought you were straight up nuts with your approach to this....damn I'm eating my words. Definitely a strange approach but VERY effective. The foil tape is just crazy good. It makes sooo many things better. I've typically sprayed super 77 from 3m and install foil on it. The tape at the edges would be golden. Is it safe to assume the clay was dry before you taped it? Or was it the oil type clay that doesn't harden.
I'm going to be building a faux vw bus in the next couple months with a foam base....the window detail and trip will be made so much better with the clay. Thanks for the tips.
@Neda Nother it is an non drying clay made specifically for automotive applications. It's soft when heated and firm when cool perfect for tooling.. I try to use common tools in my videos so everyone can feel these job are achievable without spending alot of money. Thanks for the comment, i appreciate it.
I only wanted to make a windscreen for my motorcycle! And after following your video’s I truly feel so stupid! Sir you are God! Thank you so much for sharing!
Hey just remember its humans that make things.
I'm a fabrication guy, born into plumbing..love moding everything!To the pursuit of our visions! Please continue sharing this one with us to fruition
@Clinton Busby thanks bro, trying my best to keep motivated on this build.. its alot of work, but it will get done..i will be jumping back on the build. Thanks. 👊🏾
I gave it a like as soon as I saw that he was wearing gloves....I dislike it when folks show working with fiberglass and they aren't wearing gloves....You only got two hands....Better protect them!!!!
@Jay American you damn right we only have two hands, you must wear your PPE. You gave it a like, but did you give it a SUBSCRIBE!! And set the 🔔 to ALL!! appreciate your comment, and appreciate you. Thanks
Nice
Thanks
SUBSCRIBED!! Sir, your work is astounding! Thank you for doing these videos so we can come along for the ride!
@Larry Hill Bro I appreciate the SUB and comment. I will keep the videos coming.
I cannot wait to see the finished product
Nice work, great instructions. Thanks!
No problem
Awesome bro I’m so excited to see the final shape

@4k custom Thanks for the comment, they help me want to continue working on my builds.
@@TheInkhousecustoms u got a fb or ig . I want u make me somthing , trying to see how much
Yeah Instagram @ Theinkhousecustoms
looking tough! Awesome work
Thanks fornthe positivity 🤙🏽💯
I just found you. Good job. I think you could use a tape sponsor. I'm watching the wj now.
Lol, you was searching for me! I might need to hit up 3M for all the tape I waste on this build. Thanks for the comment 🤙🏽
@@TheInkhousecustoms I wasn't looking for you specifically. But I am wanting to build a door card... what do you recommend for resin? I will be building on it a couple times. I dont want to grind each time
Well each resin has its properties, I use fiberglass resin for : rigid parts, ease of use, and fast dry times. Epoxy resin for : adhesions, flexibility and durability
So what every fits the properties you want for your applications.
this''s perfect product !
Thanks
This is so cool man, keep it up👌👌👌👌👌
Thanks for the motivation!!
I only want to make a windscreen for my motor
Ok
Good work dude! Is the clay you're using an air drying clay? May I suggest in future sealing the clay with G4 pond sealer give it a flat down then just spray on PVA release agent? It's a much quicker process. Looking forward to seeing this project finished.
@BenTV the clay I use is not an air drying clay, it is an oil base Plasticine clay, specifically made for automotive design. I take the extra step to protect the clay from junk and fiberglass from getting into it, seeing that I reuse the clay. Its an extra step but that what I feel is the best way to getting the lowest profile to the clay, before laying the glass.
Your series might not have much attention, much heat, but homie your series is fire.
@BJ so did you make it to part 4? Thanks for the comment 👍🏽
@@TheInkhousecustoms yup! I watched the entire series. I've got a knarly 2005 Subaru forester with a large mishimoto front mount intercooler. I'll need to make a bumper skin for it, like you did.
Wish I could send you some pics
@BJ You can send it to theinkhouse340@gmail.com
Or you can look me up on Instagram @Theinkhousecustoms
@@TheInkhousecustoms I would, but I don't have any social media. Just a big loser lol.
Man you're the best
Can you make cyberpunk quadra back bumper
@hila hope lol 😆 for what car.. the rear of the jeep will look way different than the standard.
Not for the jeep
May be on supra or dodge challenger 1970
Or mazda 626
I plan on getting a 1987 pontiac fiero and do my magic to that. But well see how the future goes.
I'm sure that will be so good
If you want the quadra design in 360° I'll drop it here
So cool! Really want to learn how to go about doing this - any decent resources you used before jumping in? Great work!
nothing specific i watch and been doing this type of work for a long time.
Damnn , this entire process is mesmerizing- are you doing this for a client or for personal
@Mario Jr this is a personal project. Plans are to customize the entire vehicle
If you love it make sure to subscribe if you haven't and hit the bell you stay involved.
Do you need to use PVA before you apply the mold release agent at 6:12?
@Casey Chan unfortunately for me I didn't use PVA, but I definitely will use it next time around. The PVA goes after the wax. You must wax the mold first defore putting anything down.
Man, couldn't see how its done in the middle,
@Muhsin Thulunadan. The middle was done the same way as the other areas. Repeat process
This is coming out nice! How long did it take you?
@Michael Crossley It took me about a month to do, but I was not working on it for a whole month. I'll say if I was on it every day it would have taken me about two weeks.
@@TheInkhousecustoms Damn! That's a lot of commitment. I wish I had the time to do something like this. I might try a smaller undertaking and shape the existing bumper. Thanks again for the video.
Where did you get your materials, particularly what kind of clay did you use?
@Capt_Beefheart the link is in description, please if you plan to purchase go through my link and help support this channel amzn.to/3x5prEl thanks!!
Hello bro, what is the name of the material used to cover the clay? I am builder an spoiler your videos are awesome
@Javier Portilla the material is HVAC Aluminum tape.. help out the channel and purchase from my affiliate link in the description. Thanks and happy building 🤙🏽👍🏽
how much weight did you save with fiberglass parts? how much in hood? awesome project!
@LUKA that is a interesting question. I should make a video on this. Even though I didn't put the parts on a scale. The weight difference with the hood is alot.. with the metal hood it had to be lifted with two hands and some effort , with the fiberglass hood one hand ,
Plus it just looks cooler than stock. But thanks on a good topic the make a vid about 👍💯
@@TheInkhousecustomssounds awesome,looking forward to those vids! Thank you!
I also have one more question,im looking to build doors but to keep stock door interior as well
How hard do you think it would be and would the doors hold stock interior and other parts?
@@lukatrades the doors. Would not be that hard. It can done in the same process that I'm doing with the bumper. Take a mold using the existing door as the plug.. it would be three parts, inner frame, outer skin and window rail. Imagination and planning is key when building parts. Hope the information helps.
@@TheInkhousecustoms helps a lot,thank you very much!
What kind of resin did you use? Currently working on some fender flares but not sure what resin to use.
It's a boat resin. Not sure the name right now but it's a polyester resin I stay away from bondo resins 👎🏽
@@TheInkhousecustoms thanks for the help
How did you make the reinforcements shown towards the end? And how do you decide placement generally?
The reinforcements are silicone tubing hot glued in place, then fiberglassed over. applied after surface has cured. For placement of reinforcements, I do over long areas and areas that make for the most rigid mold. Basically to keep the mold from twisting and deflecting when making parts. Fiberglass parts can warp in a mold if the mold is not strong.
Would you do this for someone else?
What do you mean.. make a custom kit for other vehicles, or just for this jeep?
Make custom for a 02 ML320
I would do it for someone else on another vehicle!
what kind of clay did you use? where do you get it? thanks, awesome vids!
@Ryan Stamper the clay used is Staedtler Marsclay 8432M Styling/Modeling Clay Faberclay Plasticine Polymer. I purchased off ebay for around $25 for 5 lb. I bought 3 giving me 15 lbs
how many of kg fiberglass did u used to make that bumper?
I'm not to sure 🤷♂️
Was wondering how much fiberglass you used for the whole bumper
I used about 6 to 7 yards of chopped mat and 2 to 3 yards cloth fiberglass, between the mold and final part. About $12 a yd.
How to avoid pin holes
How??
@HRIVCXZ Pin holes? Where in gel coat?
And also like this crafting and polishing alo i have more pin hole problems. How to avoid it
If your getting pin holes in your gel coat, it's because one of your release products haven't dried properly. When Appling wax allow to dry and wipe or polish out, the apply your PVA and let dry completely. Then apply your gel coat.
dope vids but music is kinda loud
@The_Mylky_Way thanks for the advice I will work on that.. using laptop speakers instead of using headphones.. will look into that on future vids. Thanks
