yes I know a little bit about sanding filler and fiberglass, it will still suck for him, I can feel his pain

 

yeah..it'll suck for him...good for us though.

 

theres a lot of space in the bucket, and anything less than 3 looked empty. when modeling my design with clay i tried leds also and it was too busy.


i have a rotary tool with rasp attachments, and sculpting rasps and they take out quite a bit of material. once the shape is right i will sand it all smooth.

 

cleaned up a bit with the aux light set in.

 

there are a lot of gaps that i will be fixing and getting the holes lined up with the projectors but itll give you an idea.

 

looking good. keep it up. going to look sick on my FD.

 

Liking the progress, keep it up!

 

new plan of attack, details later

 

Like, completely new?

 

the shape will be the same, just how im creating it will be different. this way will make it easier to get the fit right.

 

Alright, sounds good to me. Whatever works best for you!

 

yeah the way i was doing it has been really inefficient, sand, test fit, sand, test fit, sand, test fit, etc. this will save time. not necessarily a better fit, but a hell of a lot faster to get the fit.

 

create a wire-frame mold and apply material to that?

 

let me rephrase, i am going to restart my sculpting. my initial plan was to sculpt the foam while it was still in the headlight bucket so everything fit right, but i then decided against that because im didnt want to take an chances on damaging anything. so now im gunna sculpt in the bucket very very very carefully.

 

I like it just the way it is, don't change anything!

 

im not changing the look, just the method of getting there. so dont worry lol.

 

should have the foam poured/sprayed this week. i want to make sure the foam cures and i need a bit warmer temps. stupid Illinois.

 

so today was dry, and i was able get the car re-wrapped in foil. tomorrow is supposed to be warm, and since i got it wrapped today i will be able to respray the foam tomorrow and be carving this weekend.

 

i got the foam sprayed, and it turned out 100x better than the last time. i am much more satisfied. i also employed a few more tricks to keep everything lined up this time.

 

update pics when ya get a chance brotha!

 

ive been debating on that, evo. but since you asked ill do it. had it been someone else i may not have.

 

hey...only when YOU are ready...no pressure

 

u got pm evo
