Maybe I could have made my comment more clear last week. Use the paper based tape in one direction, then the Packing tape over that in a perpendicular direction. This helps reduce sags and produces a clean release surface.

Such good advice! Thanks!

Use Panel Bond to adhere the fenders to the car and then use a sort of putty to blend the panel onto the original body and then sand it all smooth. The fenders do look great though and even. I was worried they would look a little off from one another due to the different ways you went about forming them on either side. I also like the wider stand the car has in the rear end now. Not that it was bad before but it looks really good now. A mark improvement for sure. Well done.

Impressive , definitely picking up on speed and end result. For further work and viewers, after finishing plaster shaping, seal this with a very light coat of spray paint (primer), so it doesn't wet / soak the plaster, then a couple of quick coats over this. This will give an even better finish, which as you have found translates to fiberglass finish, but also will prevent issue of plaster sticking to back of new panel. As far as shaping plaster and later finished fiberglass panel, either make or get a long panel sander, makes achieving flowing panel lines much easier. Great work, great results, seriously impressed

I did something similar. I laid the tape on just like you, then put one thin coat of fiberglass and resin on the tape, it helps protect the blue tape from sagging. Once it dries you can go back to the putty method. I actually then used thick polyester primer right on the putty, it worked way better than sanding hardened bondo. I was suprised the primer stuck to the the putty.

In Canada, we have drywall mud (powder form) that comes in 3 different drying (curing) rates. Called sheetrock 20, 45, and 90 It cures in that time roughly. Never use that pre mixed stuff. Only use it for fine pin holes in a nice wall, that's been mudded already. Also, use tape or mud as the form like you did, then the drywall mud (use the powder form), then once the mud is done, you must use packing tape to cover the mud. Then fiberglass over the clear taped mud. Fiberglass does not stick to packing tape. Also, your new panel fits pretty tight tight with the car, so just gluing it on with panel adhesive might work. I had to glue and screw on a new fiberglass rear bumper I ordered for my 81 Camaro. The contact patch mating against the car was way less than ideal to just glue it on, it would have broken off. What I did was put clear tape all around where the new bumper would touch the steel car. Then, I predrilled 4 riv-nuts per side, and loosely bolted it on to where it had to go. Then I scuffed up the new fiberglass bumper, mixed up this stuff called "kitty hair", it looks a applied like bondo, comes in gallon size tubs, but it is actually thick resin mixed with fiberglass strands. I added the hardener, plopped a bunch of it all around the flange till it ooozed out, and then bolted on the bumper loosely, back to where it had to go. Then I went under the car, and jammed more kitty hair into the void in between the bumper and car. Let it harden, then take it off and dress it up. Add panel adhesive and bolted it on nicely. (the glue had more surface contact now). Then blended it all out with fiberglass 😊

Hey man side note when you're sanding that drywall mud you probably want to use the same respirator you're using for your fiberglass or at least a standard n95 mask construction style. you really don't want drywall dust in your lungs essentially it just turns back into concrete when wet

He (wjp004 Redline Racing) basically uses mixed polyurethane foam and shapes it with knives, files, wires etc. Then skim it with dry mix joint compound. Paint it for sealing and final shaping with regular bondo. Paint it and polish. Wax and mold release. Then make your mold.

@@ElectricSuperCar I don't have a particular product, I had made some fiberglass brake ducts a few years ago. I started with house construction large sheets of dense foam. I got large pieces, like 4ft x 2ft by 2 or 4 inches thick from lowes/home depot (it was green in color if that matters). It's really tight cell, so you can cut with a knife, you can use an oscillating tool, sandpaper (like 80 grit) or a wood-planing handheld tool. You can make really smooth surfaces and exacting corners. I glued 2 sheets together with gorilla glue or spray glue, to make it double thick, then sculpted it. It is very messy b/c the foam dust goes everywhere, that's the worst part, so lots of vacuuming and wear a particle mask so not to breathe it in. But it's super light, and easier than clay. Obvi it's got its own structural stiffness, so it doesn't sag like tape. Then you can fiberglass right on top of it. For my ducts, I dissolved the foam from the inside, my mentor said use gasoline, but that's awfully smelly, there might be other chemicals to eat it away, if you needed to. If I was making your fenders, I would not even worry about removing the foam, it hardly adds much weight and helps with panel stiffness. Professional car designers make models from foam like this. I think the current process is that a rough shape of the car is made with huge foam blocks, then carved, then they still lay soft clay to form it. Of course don't use clay for your car, just saying that's how concept car designs start out life.
