BIG REDS 67 Fastback build thread.
- Thread starter BIG RED
- Start date
spent the majority of the day working on the side skirts, with yetti. The company that made them makes them so they hang about 2 inches low so that it makes running the exhaust a bit easier, but at the same time makes it look silly. so I cut the top off, however then the sideskirt was to short, so It had to be cut and extended.
cutting the excess off.
cut and mocked up
other side
I taped wax paper to the outside so the tape would stick to the fesh glass, I put duct tape over that then taped paintsticks and a metal rod down the skirt so it would stay straight
first layer of glass, it was hard to keep it from pooling in the bottom, but in the end it did a but, but I should add some strength.
one side done compared to what I started with
and then my camera died but I got the other side all done as well.

got all of the fiberglassing on the side skirts done, I had to grind down the front and put some where it was extended so I wont have any cracks down the road I also had to reshape the rear above the tip so it sits flush against the body.
ignore the big fender gap I still have to put the rest of the bolts in and adjust it.
