Needs to make the tyrofoam mold first then fiberglass later when everything fits perfectly into the styrofoam

eastwest2300 · 02-13-2013, 07:05 PM

I've never heard it done THAT way.

chieuxuan · 02-13-2013, 07:10 PM

Damn, I just thought of it, it just came out of my mind in flash and I have no idea how to make it work........lol

MyKindaGuise · 02-13-2013, 07:15 PM

Haha I do want to make a mold for it eventually. I just like this way now because I have double sided Velcro on a case for the tablet and I can easily remove it when I want to take it inside.

Also Im pretty sure if I go fiberglass Ill get my boy Paul aka Italy to do it.

eastwest2300 · 02-13-2013, 07:41 PM

yeah man, fiberglass is the way to do it.

dmhenderson · 02-13-2013, 07:44 PM

If someone wanted to make a bunch of money, they could find a way to replace that glove box cover with a detachable (non-velcro) mount for tablets that looks like it really fits the car.

dmhenderson · 02-13-2013, 07:46 PM

Hoses, spacers and hood damper kit are going on this weekend.

chieuxuan · 02-13-2013, 07:57 PM

Ok D, make a mold out of styrofoam is easier to make it fits well first, you can use the heat gun to gently melt the foam the way you want without any sanding dust like the fiberglass bondo. If it were me, I'd make the styrofoam first then put fiberglass onto the the foam mold for a better look or even carbon fiber

eastwest2300 · 02-13-2013, 08:05 PM

dude, its pretty complicated. cody needs to get with someone that specializes in fiberglass molds. thats what I would do, Im definitely not a specialist on it.

This would actually be fairly easy... but unfortunately not much money to be made.
