Wow, what kind of foam is that? And how did you shape it? Looks really good so far.

Nice work! That should even out the rear bumper nicely.

The best foam to use is called "LAST-A-FOAM" --- it's an aircraft quality foam.

for the rest of us ( ) I recomend either the DOW bluecore home insulation foam or the Owens Corning pink foam

These are avalible in most of the country at Lowe's or HDs ...




I live in SoCal and they don't sell it around here.
In SoCal you have to go to the valley to FoamMart (for real) and pick up any 4lb. closed cell foam

Then you use A/B foam as the glue (or "great stuff" from HD -- this is kinda getto though)

After you get your shape you have to seal the foam w/ a coat of paint and fair it smooth.

Then lay up the FG (or CF ) -- I'm not sure what i'm going to use...



I'll keep updating this as i go.


Untill I get another Job and this goes on the back burner.
Unemployment sure is fun sometimes
