Cutting up the Sideskirts - Sky-gea build: Part 11

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video we'll be extending the factory sideskirts and working on a plug to help tie the new front end in with the rest of the car.
As with the fenders, these sideskirts will be temporary plugs until I make the final moulds off them once the conversion is finished.

    Thanks! I've used that trick in the past to help bond metal brackets when making fiberglass bonnets. It definitely helps with the grab but also increases how much tidy up work you'll need to do on the other side. For these sideskirts you may have been able to tell but I wasn't massively fussed with longevity haha 😆 In the sneak peak at the end you'll spot that these plastic ones are already in the bin and have been replaced with fiberglass.

    Again a highly interesting video! Car bumpers and side skirts are made of polypropylene these days, a notoriously difficult material to glue (or paint) on. Also since glass or carbon fiber is *much* stiffer than PP, they tend to separate even more readily. There are polypropylene fibers (Innegra is one) that would make much more durable fiber reinforcement patches.

  • @JOEGGGJOE

    Another good one. Can’t wait for the next one. The fiberglass patching on the bumper at the end. Fiberglass resin (polyester & epoxy) doesn’t stick to plastics. At least it won’t hold up long term.
