Pics of polyurethane minimal expanding foam in place on panel setting up waiting to be rough shaped. I use plain old PU foam that you get from the hardware store. i do not use the extension tube.Flatten the tip of the screw on nozzle to make a small fan spray. Move quickly and apply as evenly as you can.Pretty damn hard to do but with a bit of practice you'll get it. DO NOT eff with it till it has set up or you may make it fall like a souffle'. LOL!!! NO,REALLY! This side took 5 cans total. After I get it to rough shape it gets a load of Bondo and a ton of work. I hate this part.

You'd start a new trend 8)
What the hell were those cars called again ;D
Actually I do think it looks kinda cool in a hippy/Psycadellic kinda way

Are you going to make some interesting shapes on that side panel?  Surely your not doing all this for a flat panel?

It just appears flat in the pic and yes there is detailing to be done to it.I will first get the basic shaped worked out and then do the reliefs in it. It wraps the upper tubes for a nice look and the bottom will slightly wrap the lower tubes with a kevlar wear band at the bottom approx 4" for strength there and of course the abrasion benefit.

Is the foam actually going to be a mould for the final part?  Are you going to pull it off then work the inside of the foam then make a part off of the inside?

how thick will these panels be when they are done? will this be lighter than a solid fg panel? are you just sanding the panels with a sander or are you using a tool like the model airplane guys use to cut and shape wings ( a wire stretched across 2 posts with a battery hooked to it to get the wire hot )?

I have tried to read all the posts but may have missed one if you have already answered such question sorry but I am interested.
