Next is sanding the bondo and primering. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/GhettoCustoms/rear006.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/GhettoCustoms/rear00...

The blue is GelCoat that is put in the mold first.
It's easier to sand and comes out smooth.
The yellow is the fiberglass overhang which has to be trimmed off.
The silver is paint from the inside of his bumper cause I shoulda put another layer of wax.
I will post pics of progress on outside tomorrow.

Do u know any good pages with "tutorials"? With pics and stuff like that. I would like to learn more 'bout working with fibreglass. I don't know of any "how-to" pages but I'll try to show you. These are pics of parts out of the molds and then put together. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0803/Jon...

So now you have fiberglass on the outside and you gotta sand it all down smooth....and the first time bumper touches something it snaps off (and you run over it...lol)....Have fun. If you are going to use fiberglass anyway........do it this way - Clean inside of Woo bumper Apply 4 - 6 coats of paste...

You can use the original plastic/urethane top....but....
if you use a plastic bottom, how will you join them?
make the cuts perfect to fit together?
cover the cut lines?
fiberglass, bondo, body plastic, will not stick to plastic/urethane, it will eventually snap off. (I know, I've done it).

You can make any kit fit but you need the mounting points from a Woo. You must use the Woo bumper as a mold for fiberglass to get the top of bumper then cut aftermarket bumper top off and join the fiberglass part you made. It is the length from corner to wheel well you must worry about as you must t...

I have made one front for Dave and I'm working on his rear now. When I first started this, I didn't know there were so few choices for Woos. I hope to have his rear done by the end of the month, then taking time out to build and paint my car. When my car is done, I will attempt another front for a W...

It is looking good. So is there a definate that it its going to be reproduced for us other guys? And if so is there a price yet? This one will not be reproduced as it is a one of a kind for Dave. If he allows it, during the summer I will borrow his front and make another kind (maybe a Blitz). Howev...
