Spray Foam Widebody Kit. "That's Right" !!

Local guy with nutty skills. He used spray foam, then carved out what he wanted it to look like. He then put a layer of fiberglass on top and painted it.

What do you think of how it looks? Obviously, it's not going to last long but..... skills.

You've gotta hand it to the guy... great idea, and grat carving skills... you realize how easy it would be for a hand-carved piece to look lopsided?... nice work.

that's the idea behind any designed body kit. but normaly you go making a mould of what he has done and then making a positive agian. In this way you have a full polyster piece instead of a polyester/steel piece, which in the end, won't hold due to the big difference in expansion caracteristics (the reason why polyester piece break of hoods,sidepanels, anything...)

It's cool, he has the skills , now refine it...

I watched a show where wings west made a body kit for an escalade and this was the same way they did it.

They sprayed with foam, carved the foam. Except they then made a mold of the foam and laid the fiberglass in the mold rather then just leaving the foam and covering it with fiberglass.

He should make a mold and mass produce those. I don't have an FC but if I did I'd be interested. It's very clean looking.

I give props to the guys skills. But, seriously, that's pretty funky, he should have made a mold and made real body pieces.
