[QUOTE="JonBeast, post: 15251412, member: 85069"] [SIZE=4]Made some more progress tonight. I picked up a used front fender off ebay for about 50 bucks...I'm going to chop it down a little bit and paint it black. It should look clean. Here's how it came stock:[/SIZE] [ATTACH=full]679777[/ATTACH] [SIZE=4]I removed the supports, and mocked it up:[/SIZE] [ATTACH=full]679778[/ATTACH] [SIZE=4]Found the markings I want...going to cut it down:[/SIZE] [ATTACH=full]679779[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]679780[/ATTACH] [SIZE=4]Didn't get a chance to cut it tonight, because I wanted to start working on my seat/cap. Since my seat hoop is a custom length and has a bend to it, I couldn't really buy anything that would work for a seat/cap...so the solution is...make it! I hit up West Marine, and bought some resin, and fiberglass...and picked up some foam from Lowes to shape the cap. I'm going to shape everything and then fiberglass and paint it.[/SIZE] [ATTACH=full]679781[/ATTACH] [SIZE=4]I made a template out of cardboard:[/SIZE] [ATTACH=full]679782[/ATTACH] [SIZE=4] Then I transferred the template to MDF board:[/SIZE] [ATTACH=full]679783[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]679784[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]679785[/ATTACH] [SIZE=4]Then I started working on some foam for the cap:[/SIZE] [ATTACH=full]679786[/ATTACH] [SIZE=4]I started shaping the cap...I want to get it a little more aggressive, but this is where I have it for now. The foam that you see on the seat is just a template and will not be fiberglassed. It be replaced with nice foam when I take the seat to get upholstered.
