Sentra Progress thread

Well I guess Ill start a new thread, because the wing is completed. Well I mocked up a cardboard sideskirt for the rough mold.. Did the typical lay the tin foil and sprayed with pam and laid my first layer of glass on half of it thus far. Gotta go grab somemore resin so finish the basic start of the driver side skirt. This is the closest example I could find to resemble what Im setting out to accomplish



Here is where Im at currently






Im headed down to supply store to grab more resin. Ill post more progress pics tonite

Props on doing the fab work but I do have to say if you lay the materials down cleaner it will cut down your time spent working on this project.

Thanks man! Today I am going to board sand the skirt throughout. Now that it is built up and reinforced throughout the fun part begins!

Well did some shaping today until my brand new dremel bit the dust.. I high end one too. Ohwell, I still made progress after that minor setback anyway. Trimmed the top after after laying the layer of glass yesterday to now its flush with the top edge of the rocker panel. Now I have to add a little more figerglass mat to the rear vent area on the front edge to flow into the bottom of the vent and then a couple low spots were the red marks are. After that the glassing should be done and im will soon be able to get the mold of the driver side complete!

Definitely like how you molded into and utilized the mud flap/wheel well extension.
How'd the rear spoiler project work out?

Tomorrow the driver side mold should be set or close to it. Then I can apply the mold release wax and then gelcoat it

only thing I don't like is how long the design is and how hard the angles are, id round them all off and make it shorter.. (whatever you'd call the design on the side skirt the long indent piece)
