He’s very fussy. What you want in a cut and polish guy.

[minendrews68]

I'm patiently waiting on the buffing to start. I know it's going to be nice!

[Angelo]

He’s doing a killer job for me.

I thought the right side strap looked tighter than the left.
Mustang Masters, Jacksonville, fl is across the street from my work. They have a few early 70's fastbacks sitting out front, rusting to death like all the other bodies they have. While the factory shapes look cool, they got nothing on your enhanced version.
On my elky project, I'm still struggling to figure out what some of my how to processes will be, but the further I get into it trying to come up with available cars to mold part of my shape off of or use part of, working on just going all out & attaching temporary stuff to the vehicle & smoothing out to be a complete mold. Might be a combination of metal & wood strips, glued on foam, spray foam, cheap lightweight filler, g-2 spray filler, & actual paint to make a mold like you had done.
Only shortcut I may have is possibly being able to use some commercial 20 oz spray foam I can get from work sources to use as the main part of a mold, with extra supports of course. Every type I've tried leaves huge voids, but if I spray about an inch thick & squeegee down first, it pushes out air & becomes denser.
Also, sample of crappier softer type accepted body filler well, so I may be able to much more quickly make mold with denser foam, smooth it, & have a mold ok for a few uses that could be less overall time than making a great mold, though still needing light bodywork.
Still experimenting, but having your thread pop back up again got me thinking to do things differently.
Wondering did the shop that made your parts use a general poly resin, vinyl ester, or epoxy for the final parts that you said too a beating ok? Now that it's black & shiny, I'm anxious to see some various shots of your new quarters for inspiration to me.
Right now I got 2 main inspiration sources, yours & a rendering which is on my flicker link now.

I really don’t know which type of resin he used. I know it’s an expensive one and not a general purpose one because he needed it to handle some serious flex testing he does. Your way is doable I’m sure and no matter what all fibreglass pieces need body work. It comes with the territory. I’m at a lose explaining any of the process that involved the mounds and parts because I left him the car for 10 days and let him do his thing. It is a dirty, smelly and time consuming process. I can however tell you that after I shaped everything and was ready to mend it into the car, the panel bond of his choice is LOCTITE AA H3300 2 part epoxy. I bought a special gun to squeeze it out but it’s very versatile once you learn it’s properties. For example in the case of a lip being too short there is really no strong way to build it up but this glue does. If you put it along the edge and wait for it to skin over you can still pinch it into shape before it hardens. It can then be sanded and body filled and holds primer and paint. It is expensive but necessary.

Car’s cut and polished. Working on graphics colours and layout. Should be getting it on the car by the end of the month.

looking great!!! I actually may be getting a 73 this weekend. Funny thing is ive been toying with the idea of taking a FOxBody front valance specifically the Cervini one and splitting it down the middle to make it fit the front. It would have a bit of a similar look your front. Granted it will take a lot of work as well but it would save me a lot of time too

Keep up the awesome work, look forward to seeing it finished

[Angelo]

Sounds cool. If you have one it would be an exercise in making it work but if you have to buy one it doesn’t look cheap. If you like the way mine turned out you can PM me and I can make you one. It should at least line up under your corner eyebrow pieces and blend into your fenders without too much trouble. You’d still have to play with it a bit but if your willing to make a fix fit this should be easy work for you.

Looks Awesome....Body work came out great..

Graphics

Colour flops from flat black to almost bright silver depending on where you stand. Car feels alive as you walk around it. Couldn’t get it all done in 11 hours. Need one more day to complete it.

Wow! It looks great. I love the graphics.

Is it sitting at its final ride height?
