^^ yes you are

 

 

Rear hatch trim covered in aluminum



Hatch with the rear piece in aluminum



Inside view:



Forgot to get one of the screens chilling.

Can only do one side at a time as they start to slide.

 

it looks like a hot mess!!!!.....but im sure the finish product will be beautiful!!!!....cant f'ing wait!!

 

Destroyed aluminum foil:



Passenger side almost totally sealed(need to fill in the gap w/ some glass = no biggie):

 

Seems to me that since it became a part of your tc, and therefore can't be driven while it's still frying, that you've done a TON of work on it. I know that it's not true though. I understand that when making something like this problems arrise that can take a while to solve. Keep goin man.

 

Oh no, I keep driving my car every day But now that it's in there, yeah, it's just more motivation since I can't even use the hatch

I just can't do anything during cure times

Also, don't drive w/o the weather stripping thing. Hatch bounces horribly.

 

so...what happens if you have a light out in your taillight?

 

wait ur hatch isnt permanently sealed after u finsh is it...

 

we discussed this back in uhm.. page..... uhh....... 10-something...

he'll just cut a hole.. and glass it back up... he's got it covered..

 

lol he's not permanently sealing his hatch shut. then nobody can see it. His box will be permantly there. until he cuts it out

 

The look of sheer determination:



Finishing off the last layer



Putting in the stock pieces to conform around:



Pushing hard to get it to click back into the exact replica of it on the right side:



From the center:



From the Left:



Good thing I used tape:



Hooray for screens...again:



And in the center...random shot:




No wind, this side went a lot smoother than the other side. Ended up with a much more even application, but a little messier onto the tape.

YAY TAPE.

 

YAY TAPE!!!

.. now to wait for it to all dry.....

 

Cure....not dry

Then one more pic and off to something haunted.

 

oh yea... lol...

home stretch!!

 

For glassing.

Then sanding.

Endless sanding.

 

omg the sanding.. ...

 

SWEET!! just went thru all the pages! amazing stuff here

keep it up man!

 

Mixed the last batch w/ half the resin(ran out) and the same hardener...makes the aluminum stick a bit, worked well again though:



Peeled the aluminum off the tape nicely:



And I'm out for the night.

 

wow... sheer amazement in the thought of completion within a month???? maybe two???
