Fibreglassing?
Posted: Sat Apr 14, 2012 12:41 am
Sorry it's not Midas related but as I know some of you are experienced in the art of fibreglassing , I was after your views.
The Latham that I've got has lens covers over the head lights.One was already cracked and the other day I dropped something and cracked the other one. I'm looking at changing the look of the front as in the attached photos as the covers are expensive and I prefer the TVR Tuscan look anyhow.
I was going to use expanding foam to get the rough shape, then fibreglass and filler over the top.Faired in and painted.
Or should I get the exact shape with foam and filler, take a mold from this and produce a fibre glass piece to bond in place of the light lens?
That's not my car by the way, just a picture I found on the 'net.
Any ideas would be much appreciated
Cheers
Dave
