Supra Sideskirts :), Molding process- Options

[mgnt232]

So I got the sides the other day, but it was raining ....and most of this morning. but as soon as it stopped.... I started

So its a very long process of getting them to fit but I really like the look:). And thanks to AJ I had a general idea of what to start with (he was very helpful) but put my own spin on alot of it, which i thought was easier.
Any how, I got one almost "done" still have a ton! of work to do, to mold it all flush, but thats alot easier than holding SS up and marking out, and cutting, and holding, and trying to rivit it, all by my self lol.

Heres some pics

Walk out

Cut for the "vent" (vent doesnt actually do anything, i covered it in the back)

A few different angles when i cut enough and had it fall into place well enough to rivit it in

Cut the rear off, extending, ran out of resin so I had to stop

Started laying out the mat, getting it all ready (mainly in my head )

Started to spread the resin, but I ran out




Rest of the pics are mainly how it looks now, keep in mind, I ran out of resin, I will be finishing it tomorrow along with the other side





Tell me what you think I know its not everyones style .. And if anyone has questions ask its not as hard as it may look... if you have some patience .. the only "body work" experience I have is putting on my invader kit

back on topic, and without being a dick like the rest of these jackasses, why didnt you cut and strech the skirts so that they would reach the rear wheelwell?

lol thank you, and its just the "angles" i guess of the sides, There was no way to extend them to the point of getting them to the rear wheel well, i thought about it a abunch but it would of looked a bit funny, there may have been a way..but I couldnt envision it

And the hood for 150 was why i picked it up, was far too good of a deal and I know its not everyones taste lol, but at least give it enough time to be finished

yea, you could have cut them in the middle, or closer to the front section, and extend them there to make up the diffrence.
supershannon77 had the same hood on her car for a long time, i liked it.
props for the effort, theres only one way to really learn this stuff, and thats by doing it.
it gets easier every time after the first try.
good luck!
