here is a pic of the makeshift mold (tape,cardboard,posterboard).
and also a pic of the headliner out of the car. Someone mentioned that this was a bad first project (some days i agree.. hahaha) but overall it really doesn't matter - I am now on my third gallon of resin and now the fiberglassing is the easy part. The bondo and sanding inside curves is now more of a pain. This project REALLY made me realize the importance of a GOOD mold
and what happens when you slam one together - you will end up spending time fixing shortcuts.. I doubt I will do another headliner - alot of work! BUT it was so worth it experience wise. Plans still include a dash and doorpanels - Time to learn to build molds with foam next...
