Here you guys go. Keep in mind this is just the skeleton still. After a few days when it hardens. Ill be glassing it and smothening it out.

It has its shape but its sorta hard to see all the body lines. And to the eye of the average joe it probably wont look like much. But its a huge step in the right direction

question: that cutout near the washer nozzle, that is for the wiper? will it be smoothly contoured or more straight edged like it currently is?

Its either goingto be straight edged with nice corners, or Ill make it flush with the rest of it. Its meant so that the 3rd brake light isnt disturbed.

I hope you guys like updates!

Since long story short my supply company screwed up a shipment on my fiberglass / other misc material orders and instead of getting my materials today I will get them wed or thursday. So that leaves me with allot of time to work on prototypes and finish a few garnishes I have already started. About 2 prototypes and 5 garnishes.

So I started the day with a cup of coffee, a grape fruit, and pulling the spoiler off of the hatch, grinding it down, and applying body filler like so.


After sanding, and applying, sanding, and applying, I got this. Its not close to finish but you can see the shape is really coming together.
