Re: so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy

the base is just matt and resin over green paint tape. Then I use old gas welding rods, basically coat hangers,and mdf to make my shapes then I stretch a thick t-shirt over it. Then I glass that with matt.

I use a tshirt because it is thin enough to not need alot of resin so it wont warp, yet it gets hard enough to hold its shape really well when using the chop mat.

Its like tac'ing all your metal before you weld so nothing pulls and moves.


and yeah lol, the truck is a mess but should clean up quickly. Just need to blow it all off.
