Skip20 is at it again, 6 cyl Subaru GT II

Got a little more done today.
VERY Dusty!!!

On the inside grind down the undercoating, used resin filler in the low spots & applied 3 - 4 layers around the scoop, 6 by the door lip.
You can see the light area where the undercoat was remove.
Also glassed the plywood brace which had ripped off from the body



As long as I was full of gel coat, undercoating & fiberglass may as will do the rocker panel from the A** H*L* that helped put the car on the dolly.
There was just a gel coat crack in the center, 3 small cracks on the bottom & front wheel well flair broken off. Can't find the part for the rear bottom flair, but I have made molds of all 4 of them when I way building the Motorcycle Trike Body's.
So grind a "V" groove In the middle of of the damage & removed the gel coat about 2" around it.



Then apply 3 layers of mat at 1", 2" & 3" to build op the "V" grooves.
Also glass in the flair I saved & the inner plywood brace which had also ripped off.



Now the other side is where most of the dolly damage is.
Plus somebody put a BIG hole in the rear rocker panel.
So the plan is the finish the Pass side rocker & make a mold of it.
Then pop out a new side rocker panel & replace the whole driver side from flair to flair.
Plywood braces had also been ripped out of that side too.

Was able to fins a turn buckaroo at HF for the overhead wrench so now the body won't run around.
But I do lose 3" !



And here is my GA junk yard find.

did you pick up the multi-hub unit to run the pigtails from each unit into one? I've been toying of the idea of using either four or six sets of three to run an electric motor for an air compressor hooked p to a generator to power my pole barn. I don't know it it will work or not. I don't think the motor will have a high enough rpm to run a generator, maybe if i put a centrifugal clutch on it, it will... projects for another day.

And here is the new fender flair glass onto rear rocker panel.



WOW the body changed color.
No, It's the other GT II.
Figured as long as I was fiberglass, may as well start glassing the bottom of the body
Right now it's a storage area for the Subaru parts for the White Bradley GT II.
NO FLAT surface is safe!!!!!



I always glass both sides if I can get to it.

Looking good! Can't wait to see her finished.

OK, after some House & yard was done, I'm Back!

Body work starting on the right.



Wow, after the 1st sanding, it's looking pretty good. Guess the fiberglass work & sanding really paid off.



One low spot in front of the rear wheel flair. (darker green)
Will do one more thin layer of Bondo & sand smooth for primer.

Have sanded down the 2nd coat of Bondo & laid a very thin 3th coat to sand tomorrow.

OK, 4 days later I finally got back to the Brad.
Sprayed 4 coats of release & let dry between each coat.
Then laid up 4 layer of 1.5oz mat & rolled it out.
Cramp the wood strips into the glass before it was fully cured.
Will wrap them in glass to add support to the mold.



RATS, it got COLD last night & the resin didn't kick off.
Put the heater on it to see if that helps.
More later.

Will never cure complete!
Used the heater & 2 - 500 watt lamps.
So was able to pull it off easy as the 1st layer had harden a little & left no mess & the release spray is in tack.
Will start all over again Mon. or Tues.

OK, didn't do anything to the mold.
Sprayed 4 lite coats of release & let dry about 1 hour each.
Sprayed what I had left of the white gel-coat & let it cure to tacky.
Applied 4 & a 1/2 layers of mat, 1/2 was at the bottom lip for added support.
Rolled out any bubbles & extra resin.
Now sitting in the sun to cure.

To much sun for a good picture.

Skip, Great work as always! Keep plugging away at it.

Got a new 2011 Ford Ranger down in Rock Hill SC w/ 7,600 miles on it., today on Sunday.
Jo & I made the trip to bring back the 2006 Ranger.
About a 600 mi round trip.

This is a test on getting Photobucket into here.
This is the driver side with new rocker panel & side scoop mounted.



Here is the inside after appling 3-4 layer of mat for the 1st layup.

Working on the rear firewall.

Added 3/8" x 1" strips around the edge of the access panel. laid Alum tape on it for a good release.



Glassed on 2 layers of about 2" wide mat on the lip then another 2 layer of mat on the complete back of firewall. This will help seal it from water & other thing in the engine comp.

All glassed up & trimmed.



Here you can see the lip which will have rubber seal to close off the cover.



Next will be to glass the front before glassing it to the body.
Still working on the rocker panel & scoop as will as glassing some on the bottom of the Yellow Bradley.

1st layer of Bondo sanded off w/ 36g DA sander
Doesn't look to bad as you can see how much of the body came though.

I admire your talent great work...
