Then begins the laborious process of fill, sand, repeat.

I'm afraid I can't remember how many layers of mat I put down but it all went well. The secret of success with grp is getting everthing you need prepared before mixing the resin, mat, brushes, rollers, acetone etc

Once the plaster was faired in with bonding coat and sanded..(several times ) it was decoupaged with cooking foil and waxed ready for grp.

Although being up and running for a couple of years, I just found some pics of moulding the body so let's see if I can get them loaded.

100% for me, I might actually boot Flynn and do a few laps myself.

Have a look at my Maserati build photos on the CKGB website, just one way to do a compound curve body !

Sorry Jim but easily confused, I have a camping ticket and paid the club for an event ticket, should this come via yourself or direct from the organisers ?

Ive beaten ally to death on a stump and planished it till my wrist ached [ no innuendo Thankyou ] and got a half decent result on smallish pieces, maybe 10" max. It was only when I built a E wheel from an eBay kit that I could a) save a lot of time b) Get a better finish c) form much bigger pieces.
To do a ally body cycle kart size I strongly recommend an English wheel, you'll find  a TiG welder useful too, both need loads of practice.
I never could afford a TiG and sold my E wheel and made my Maserati body from grp, takes time and patience more than the skills I could never quite master.
Hope I don't sound negative, I really admire ally body work and would love to reproduce my Maserati in polished ally, one day, maybe ! Good luck.
