My Official GTM Build Thread!

[LCD Gauges]

We generally combine plasma-cut pieces of aluminum along with the pour foam. Create a "grid" or rows of CNC cut alum parts that represent the outer surface shape we're after, bond those pieces in place on the part we're building off of/modifying, pour the spaces in between the alum parts full of foam and then sand the foam down to the aluminum to get the final shape. This way you can produce very symmetrical parts for both RH and LH sides of the car...because you're using the same CNC cut alum shape for both sides. Before I had my own CNC plasma table, I did the same thing by drawing the parts out in CAD, printing the CAD parts off on paper, gluing the paper to sheets of thin plywood (underlayment) and cutting the parts out with a bandsaw. Use hot glue to stick the wood parts grid down to a surface and then pour foam between them.

This hurts my head...

I guess it's like anything, you have to try in order to build the skills and get the experience.

Better yet, how much to fly you down here and make me one?
