  1. I think it is uv stabilised resin. I'm not worried about bubbles because I'm going to use 2 moulds. This one is for hard surface. Then I'm going to use another layer for smooth surface which is silicone rubber mould. But pitman, thank you for your help. Honestly man, I'm in Southampton. I really needed those vacuum chamber today.


  2. @rob: I am trying to make it look awesome as I want to make something proper. Because of that I am being careful and taking my time.

     

    @Keith: yes I can fit a proximity sensor but that would be dangerous in traffic. but i like the idea a lot...

     

    apart from that, when I finish the project I am going to keep the moulds so I can make more whoever wants... ;)


  3. I am trying to make this. vacuum forming or 3d printer is not going to work. got the spoiler. have to cut a piece and that piece is the exact shape of the brake lights. so it has to be clear but to match, i will put a black film or transparent black paint on it.

  4. I agree that the dowel solution is not the best of ways to do things.

     

    the stock engine block itself is proving to be quite a bit stronger than anyone expected. A good set of rods and pistons is looking likely to be strong enough for most peoples unless you are after an extreme (and by that i mean 600+hp) amount of power.

     

    I keep toying with the idea of building my engine up and releasing the rest of the power from my supercharger... maybe about this time next year...

     

    and how much are you planning to spend on this? I am asking more like to see how much roughly I have to spare for more...
