was jus layin in bed and thinkin, i could do this, make a fiberglass replica of my hood and quarters, save a ton of weight, itll never rust, and itll be a lot stronger then the tin thats currently on the car. How would i go about replicating it? plaster of paris?

nobody makes these parts for your car yet so i say go for it. plaster is a good mold to use from what i hear.
When I die, i want to go asleep peaceful.......... not screaming and freaking out like everyone else in the car

do a search in google for it. you can find all the correct release agents and molding compounds. i've seen a couple of write ups on it. just don't expect perfection unless you have a lot of free time. that stuff is hard to get right the first time off.
