fiberglass roof day

Using the previously made roof mould it was time to make the roof skin.
Firstly the mould was waxed to ensure that the roof would release, once done the gel coat was added, done in black

The gel coat was then left to cure
 

With the gel coat cured 2layers of 450g chop strand matt was added and then followed with a single layer of tissue

 While the gel coat was curing time was spent removing any left over bungs, screws etc, also the vents have been blended in

Work started on the scuttle / a panel to remove the join between the two panels

Due to the car being a 2002 shell the front structure members we welded on to add extra strength
