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

So its a very long process of getting them to fit frown.gif 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 smile.gif

Walk out smile.gif



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 tongue.gif)




Started to spread the resin, but I ran out frown.gif




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 smile.gif





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

Why go through all that pain when you can just buy it?
