Front Fender Molds
 |
This shot shows the front fender plug on the car with flanges added to make the first mold section. In order to pull the parts from the mold, the fronts had to be made in 3 pieces. One aspect that complicated this mold a bit was the decision to make the headlight bucket integral to the fender. This gives a cleaner look and offers a little weight reduction. |

Here the tooling gelcoat has been applied and the first layers of chopped strand mat. |

This shot shows the first two mold sections complete and the third (headlight bucket area) about to begin. Before the three sections are pulled from the plug, holes for alignment and bolts will be drilled in order to assemble the mold to make the actual fender. |

This is the mold as pulled from the plug prior to polishing. |
