Another trans tunnel method

[choppinczech]

This isn't mine. But another great method for making a permanent or removable fiberglass transmission tunnel.

Thanks choppinczech. I have a folder in my pictures titled T info. I save picture ideas like this so I can refer back to them hopefully sometime in the future

choppinczech... Nice bit of information. Would also work out very well for someone wanting to shape a tunnel from aluminum. Thanks for posting this.

The hard part for me is generating the ribs. is there an easy way to figure out those?

Nice job ...curious as to what the green coating is & what weight/layers of matte you used ??

I think the green stuff is "part-all" a release agent.

I am assuming somewhere between pic 2 and pic 3 there was some sanding involved ?? I would think it would be hard to get it symmetrical from side to side.

Yep, looks like at least 10-12 coats.


This isn't mine guys, I just found it on a hot rod site.

I'd make a 1/2 template of each rib and flip it over.


This guy built an entire car body using this method. Ribs spaced 2" apart. And a heck of a lot of skill.
