How To Make Fiberglass Fender Molds. Part 1 of 2. Sky-gea build: Part 8
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this episode I thought it was a good idea to show you the method I use when making 3 piece fiberglass moulds for a set of front fenders.
Be sure to turn subtitles on so you don't miss all the added info.
This episode and the next one will be a little self contained mini series inside this Stagea build. These episodes should give you all the details you need to make most types of fiberglass moulds.

I like that it's just showing us how to do , and not a bunch of b-roll and talking to the camera .
Absolutely phenomenal! I've been moulding and casting for years (although in the prop making industry, where quick and dirty is the order of the day) and I have never seen such neat and meticulous work. TOW is a master craftsman. I learn so much from these videos. Much respect!

Thanks mate! There's always a time and place for quick and dirty moulds too, ones with packing tape repairs and where you just coat the thing in PVA and cross your fingers but I usually point the camera the other way for those ones haha.
Best content on the internet....seriously. Even your mold is beautiful. Love it

Excellent craftsmanship! So enjoyable to watch the master.
It's getting better and better. Thank you for letting us know what it takes to do this at all.
С Владивостока привет крутой проект у вас 🔥
I'm blown away by your methods and attention to detail! I know a custom build is in my future and your channel has been an excellent resource for techniques and an efficient workflow. Thank you for all your hard work, and keep it up!
You are an amazing communicator! Explaining an entire process without saying a word!
Thanks for a new session of car healing therapy. OEM legit +😎💪
this car is gonna look sick when its done!
Attention to detail 🤯mind blowing 🤯✌🏻🏴
Dude, I cannot wait to see this finished. Love the videos, rock on.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this video. It was really fun and interesting to watch, and I learned lots. Clearly a lot of time goes into moulding even a single panel, particularly when it's done as meticulously as this!
While i was watching this video, i found i was saying WOW constantly at your meticulous work.. Was an absolute privilege to watch.
Great job sir, I’ve dabbled with mold making and enjoyed watching someone else going through the process. Now to watch episode 2 👍
يعجبني هذا العمل التشكيل .. وإنتاج شي من لا شي 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 وشكرا لك على تعبك
You easily have 1000 times the patience I have, very happy watching the series you are meticulous and it will show at the end. Look forward to the next episode. What's next seeing as the miata roof seemed only weeks before you started this!
Loving your work man! As a guy who's done some of this stuff myself I can only admire your patience and attention to detail. Top stuff.
when it all finally starts to pay off stage,,,,your work is next level my friend,,,thanks for sharing 👍
Hard work pays off 😍
Very beautifull. What an amazing job!
So much time and patience going into the mold’s and build, great to watch, its going to be sik when its completed
What a fascinating process! Good work!! 👍
Love these, get so many tips for my own projects.
You are doing this step by step the right way !!! cant wait to see the end result !
You're videos are so chill and awesome to watch. Love the process.
Awesome! What a crazy amount of work for this process! Excited to see it !
An absolute professional. I enjoyed watching every single part of the process.
Master of your trade, no talking, Great camera work! 👌
Hell yeah! Coming along nicely
The view out your shop door is amazing
Awesome work man... i love the attention to detail and your methods are superb! Looking forward to the second video!

8:00 the “SMOOTHN’T” part got me on tears 😂😂😂
attention to detail is crazy, even marked down how many coats of release agent. I learned alot.
this is amazing!
J'adore ta méthode de travail !Le résultat est top...
Dude, this is awesome!!!
Great process, big thumbs up! 😉
Fascinating as ever.
As an audio engineer, we always say half the mix is done during the recordings (1st stage). So what TOW is doing now means after casting it's straight prep for paint. There will be nothing to fill or correct. Best way, great job bro, love it. If it was possible I'd like you wing my car!
Man, those birds in the background are loud! It’s the dead of winter up here and I’d nearly forgotten that birds exist.
Amazing work, keep it up
Bird songs is so pretty😍
"Mmmmm... oranges" is the funniest way to call yourself out on orange peel ever! 🤣🤣🤣 🤘🤘🤘 This whole process is mesmerizing. Love it.

Awesome. Your miata is how I found ya a while back was looking at some diy widebody stuff and it popped up. Definitely 2 amazing builds. A stagea is definitely a car I wish and hope to one day get but import cost to the states are so high.
I wanted to argue with your flanges but it looks like they worked out great. That's some serious cardboard you've got there ;)

Haha, yeah a lot of trial and error. I've done coreflute, signboard, polycarb, tin, and even made my own flanges out of fiberglass before for some really tricky shapes, cardboard is surprisingly good if you're spraying a sealer over it.

Very very meticulous job n workmanship
Smooth, smooth’nt, smoothest. 👍
Awesome work, I need to make a lot of molds for a future project, have watched a lot of videos on the process. I really like the gap filler instead of body filler, much easier to work with. Bloody crazy how many hours goes into making a perfect part, and then the amount of hours to make a mold off that part.
Great video! I'm planning to take a mold for my bonnet
this something I've been wanting to do on my car for ages, make a carbon fibre bonnet and front fenders
Really cool
Awesome video!
Another brilliant, concise and informative video. 👏 thanks for the video. Ill be attempting to make completly one off body work for a motorcye im building towards the end of the year so i appreciatte the info.

Sanding fiberglass and blowing the dust everywhere in your shop while wearing a tank top is the most gangster sh!t I’ve seen all day.
3:58 some nice CAD work :D
Used to do this kinda work. almost the same but for sure did more sanding to prep the mold for sure. either way its going to come out great
Ты крут. Твоему упорству только можно позавидовать👍👍👍. Не знаю как у вас но у нас есть поговорка - Терпение и труд все перетрут. Спасибо за видео и формативную информацию как и что делаешь. P.s. Успехов тебе и терпения.

You should definetoy either sell the moulds after all this or make fenders periodically and sell those! Just an idea…

Agreed. Make a 'plug/ mould' from your originals and use some PVA or release agent to pop em off. 👍
It looks pretty nice but could you explain to me how to create the mold by using the existing fender and created your mold or do you use foam or anything like that to create
Одержимый! 👍
If anyone ever looks at the price of a decent bodykit and thinks it’s outrageous, especially from a small company. They should watch your vids to truly appreciate the work and time that goes into making them, after all this is essentially the prep work stage of developing the kit and you’ve already invested so much time and effort. In short when it comes to pricing up the complete kit don’t undervalue yourself.
1. Just seen NZ on TV here in the USA. They fined a British couple at the airport $400 for the banana🤯 2. Awesome video, I appreciated the subtitles
bro this is so much work wtf
