Maybe I could have made my comment more clear last week. Use the paper based tape in one direction, then the Packing tape over that in a perpendicular direction. This helps reduce sags and produces a clean release surface.

I like your front wheel gap/offset. I think you nailed it!

[Whiskers]

You are 'kinda' building this car. I counted 72 times you kinda did something. As a collector I enjoyed some compound kindas. Like the Windex kinda enables you to kinda wipe it off. Well done!

My man Tony Hawk got so many Talents . It’s amazing 💯

Cutting And sanding fiberglass without gloves And a Tshirt, respect to You My brother

Loving the wider back end, now all you need is a rear diffuser to complete the look.

Awesome Job, I'm getting a lot of ideas from you for when I finally start my build. learning a lot too =)

[JAY-EV]

By far the easiest method I have seen.

[rquickify]

To say I’m impressed with how the fenders turned out is an understatement. Great job, it looks better than the original look and like it should’ve been that way to begin with.

[jdlee]

Your channel is very informative and interesting. I always enjoy watching it. I can't wait to see your car finished.

Most dry wall is water soluble probably could just wash off what doesnt chip off with hose.

[KyberJedi]

Use Panel Bond to adhere the fenders to the car and then use a sort of putty to blend the panel onto the original body and then sand it all smooth.

The fenders do look great though and even. I was worried they would look a little off from one another due to the different ways you went about forming them on either side. I also like the wider stand the car has in the rear end now. Not that it was bad before but it looks really good now. A mark improvement for sure. Well done.

Best video ever on building a widebody kit !!!! Widebody 101 on point👌

I did something similar. I laid the tape on just like you, then put one thin coat of fiberglass and resin on the tape, it helps protect the blue tape from sagging. Once it dries you can go back to the putty method. I actually then used thick polyester primer right on the putty, it worked way better than sanding hardened bondo. I was suprised the primer stuck to the the putty.

As far as latching the a product called ....MINI QUICK LATCH....easy to install, looks clean, and very strong fastener

[davidp]

Impressive, definitely picking up on speed and end result. For further work and viewers, after finishing plaster shaping, seal this with a very light coat of spray paint (primer), so it doesn't wet / soak the plaster, then a couple of quick coats over this. This will give an even better finish, which as you have found translates to fiberglass finish, but also will prevent issue of plaster sticking to back of new panel. As far as shaping plaster and later finished fiberglass panel, either make or get a long panel sander, makes achieving flowing panel lines much easier. Great work, great results, seriously impressed

[dave]

How’d you get both sides to match? Thanks

[dontask]

"Klico" pliers and it will hold it together and the holes will go away with the final glass work.
You can get a kit from Summit, and extra klicos.
The are like pop rivets, that you can take in and out a million times.
Been watching for hours.👍

Love these still vs 350z and other’s and very surprised automotive talents haven’t figured this all the way out as well.
