Trying to figure out how to build the body shell



So i pretty much trying to figure out the best wayto make the body of the racer.I layed down these strip's of wood which will help me staple fabric down and the use resin to make a kind of fiber glass.


As u can see this helps me figure out where the fiber glass will cover and also be the supposed for it.I'm trying to also to figure out if i want to be able to pop off the shell of just make panels. to reach in the racer if i have to fix anything.

finishing the chair


OK so i had to finish up the chair today, so i started cuting the yellow float tube i got at the toystore. and just glued it down with silcone glue which works best causes it nice and thick and works best with foam.

Then i just lay them down even to one another, until i filled up the bottom part of the sit.and the cut it with a knife to the shape i need it tobe.

Fabric on chair and back brd.


I had to put a Fabric on the chair so i went with this diamond patteren style design.And use spray glue to adhere it to the sit. By the way never spray this stuff inside, the glue gets everywhere.

Then i just rubbed it down made sure everything was glue down just right.

Then just started stapling everthing down. and all around it i used alot of staples just to make sure it doesnt pop off.


Then i just cut of what i didnt need and that part was done.
I pretty much did the same thing with the back broad i cut it, spared it stapled it and poped it on.
