Sorry I haven't updated this in a while but i've been bustin my ass on it lately Quote:
 Soda cans are not soft enough to form. if you want to show it as stuff used from round the house, I originally used disposable baking sheets. it's the same material i use now.Quote:

Here is some more progress. I have been looking at using latex molds and resin to make molds for the truck and finally bit the bullet and bought a starter kit. I would love to use this stuff for all my molds but it's expensive, this kit cost $75   The main reason I wanted to use this stuff is the first time i molded the cowl it didn't turn out so well  particurlarly the vents. the plaster had bubbles and the bondo stuck in them. but with the latex i had much better results. First i made a surround out of cardboard and poured the latex mixture.  24 hours later i had a nice mold with no bubbles and extreme detail  After the resin was poured i had the beginning of the mold  The detail was amazing! after some shaping i had the mold finished  And here is the final part  i was very satisfied with the way the vents turned out  Next is the firewall Last edited by Metal Masher; 02-11-2010 at 05:34 PM. | |||

I nominate your for scale master (read as scale Yoda)! I also have a question. One you may have already answered and I missed processing all the awesomeness. But how are you bonding the panels together, or are you bending seams to mate to one another? |

simply amazing, great detail. I am guessing you built a scale spot welder to attach the panels.  |

This is incredible, very inspiring. I do have a quick question; do you anneal the metal before shaping or is it already soft enough? |

beautiful work masher, saw how you were mounting the cab to the frame, just an observation, maybe put something rubber and soft between the cab and frame like an o-ring or something, if your frame has any twist to it it may rip the body apart. that is why they do it on a 1:1. it is not just for noise reduction it gives it flex, anyway not bashing just saying. you are building something i would never have the patience for fn great work. just saying cause i would like to see how long you can make it last.

That cowl panel is unbelievable! The lines are so crisp, and I can't get over how good the vents are.

Nice ride. I've seen a few of the aluminum bodies on the bay, but I think you may have inspired me to try my own. Gracias!
