I know it on the back burner but! 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. |

Bad news, WebShot.com ( my picture storage ) is closing down in Dec.
They are changing over to Smile.com & will be charging for the storage.
This means all of the pictures on this post may be removed.
I have been able to down load all of them, but they are messed up & not in order or folders.

Haven't forgotten about you guys. Busy working on the White Bradley & house work. So here's an update on the Yellow Bradley Got more fiberglassing done on the bottom of the body section. Sanding some down to fiber glass. Been laying 2-3 layers of mat on all of the seams made inside to reinforce the areas. A few more spaces to go then can put it back on the frame.  Did some glassing this evening & looks like the only thing left will be the Honda DelSol rear window frame. |

OK, forgot the front of the tunnel. So instead of building framing around it to glass, I pulled a little trick. After sanding around the area applied some resin on the edges. Then soaked some mat on the flat surface, picked it up carefully & laid it in the hole. Making sure it was smooth & flat anchored it to the sides with resin. Will need to keep a eye on it to be sure it doesn't fall in. Will add more mat after it cures & will have a nice hard surface to work with.  That's a little secret passing on to everybody. |

Waiting for the tunnel to cure, so cut out the shifter plat from the metal tunnel & will glass in in for some added support in that area.  Will make up some resin paste & in-bed the metal into it & fiberglass it in  The outside under body is almost finished, but then need to start on the inside, like around the new wind shield framing & back window. It's a little hard trying to glass upside down.   |

Hey, anybody has any comment?  ? Good, Bad & the Ugly!!!!!!!!!! The gull wing doors & frame is about the only thing that is left stock on the body. This is to show just how much fiberglass is needed if you do mod's! Got the front tunnel & shifter plate finished.  Did the top of the rear window frame. ;D Will trim it tonight & the under body should be finished. A little sanding to clean it up.   Will work on the inside W/S frame & rear window, that should do it. |

Will it be amphibious? Should float pretty good.

Finished glassing around the W/S frame & waiting for it to cure. Will trim & sanded the edges. Also added 1 layer of mat from the old roof to the new W/S frame to fill in the gap. Will add more mat when dry.  Started to rubber undercoat the bottom of the body. Used 2 cans & will need to get some more.  |

It's back upside down! To go ahead & do the body work around the rear window now as it's easy to get to.  |

Absolutely amazing the amount of glass work you are doing. Do you by any chance work for or own a fiberglass supply store? This must be costing a small fortune in supplies. Looking real good. When will your hunny's be completed?
Also where you live do you have to go through a mechanical safety check like we do up here? Any issues getting them titled and what will they be tiled as?
