hey just wondering if any one out there has done a drag car fibre glass front end im buiding my drag hatch right now and from the verry few people that i can find that have done it have conflicting opinions. one guy i talked to said get the front end setup and make it look the way i want to then cover in packing tape ex. like clear masking tape then lay glass over that then resin and gell coat and paint. my other source told me to get it setup primer wax the living ---- out of it lay on some chemical then gell coat then glass then resin to make a mold then build wooden frame and lay my glass into that and build the shell. first one sounds easyer but if its gonna completely blow ***** then ill make a mold i saw beau has done it but i figured would make a thread and see if any of you have experiance with it . any input is awesome. owww almost forgot

 

buy the nose, don't build it.

3x the cost to build you own nose.

 

not to mention look like ***



The companies that did make them dont anymore so your going to have to go the used route or spend 1500+ on a custom one

 

Didn't Beau make one?

 

ya it was thrown on dustins car has a joke came out pretty wack

 

found it




Still funny. The only other person i saw try to make one failed about has bad

 

yea the guy at the fibre glass shop helped me out a fair bit and he showed me pix of a rx7 they helped out with came out realy good he figured have around 500 cdn and that would cover making the mold and the shell. any one know of any companies still making these?? i wanna get this **** sucker ready to go so i can run it in mission this summer

 

um the people in the states who did it charged 700-1200+shipping so you found your deal

 

cool thanks for the insight

 

i know some on local that has a brend new one for a ef hatch!
