Thanks--I love fiberglass but wood ain't my forte.

little sanding this morning. Might not need much bondo filler by time I get this level. Glass is pretty tough!!!!

Time for some 2K high build primer (liquid Bondo). You'll be surprised how it fills low spots.

You using big words killer, I'm just now learning what fiberglass tastes like. I'll have to Google all that you just said. Lol

2 part polyurethane primer. Mixes with MEKP catalyst. Clean up with acetone. Just like mixing resin.



Best if sprayed, but can be rolled or brushed on too. About 30 minutes working time.

Scuff up the surrounding gel coat with 150 grit.

1 gallon should be enough to cover all the bare glass work you've done. And a gallon of acetone for clean up.

A cheapo Harbor Freight sprayer will do it.

You got that right! I took a couple days off from it, my joints ore killing me, not the kind you smoke either...I broke down and visited my local Chinese knock off supply store and procured a 2" da and some more small diameter sanding, grinding items. I got the bright idea of making my own dash, similar to the tunnel dash that speedway offers, but different. I have a ton of time in it....so far, lol!

Keep up the good work. I enjoy following your progress. It sure would be nice to live next door to choppinczech when it come to glass work.

Cooter, I enjoy this thread and your attention to detail. Keep it up, man.

I agree with you Fred. This has been a great building thread. Cooter has came a long way since I started watching this build.

 

[cooter]

Cooter has learned a lot about his self and his ability's during this build. Making some life long friends along the way.
