[06-29-11] Radiator shell mold layup in progress...

[07-06-11] Radiator shell mold halves, popped off of the pattern...
(The pattern and all that labor is now junk.)

[08-02-11] Radiator shell mold ready for lay-up...
This will be an awkward "inside" lay-up, but manageable for our low volume.
(Progress on this part continues on the Hood/Radiator Page. > > >)

[08-30-11] Front fwd/up mold inserts are popped loose but are getting a little stiffening/bracing...

[09-05-11] Ooooo! Lay-up started on main body mold halves...

[09-15-11] Main body mold right half, just popped off the pattern...
The white is plaster filler from the model that stuck better to the mold than the model.
There's always some rework and repair to be done.

[10-04-11] Main body mold left half, with stiffeners & "feet", assembled with windshield insert... 52 lbs.
There's still filling and repair to do on the gelcoat (nicks, bubbles, and some alligatoring).

[10-06-11] Demolishing and scrapping the body pattern...
