Just a little something im working on
« on: February 05, 2014, 05:53:08 pm »
So a while back i got a votex bumper off ebay for cheap. Main reason being was that it was missing the bottom insert and it was warped in places. A few blasts of the heat gun made it straight again!

As it was minus the insert and i couldn't locate one i thought i'd have a play around.  Decided id recreate that missing piece with my own twist.

Made a frame out of mdf and screwed it together











Came out better than i thought.  The next thing i did was get some fleece and fibreglass resin. Covered the fram with the fleece and painted the resin on. Left it for a day to go hard.







After that came filler!



After days of flattening. I thought id add this



Coat of filler primer then normal on top





Still needs work but its getting there.  The plan is to use this as a mould and then make a carbon fibre piece from it.  What do you guys think?
