I’m at the stage of the build I dread the most… bodywork. Heck, I can’t even use liquid paper without messing up!
In the spirit of doing as much as I can myself (something about the journey vs the destination), I’ll get it done… with your help of course!
Read the DanEC post regarding the topic (
Fiberglass body wheel lip body prep) but I still have questions:
What does the ideal wheel opening lip look like on a FIA?
What is the best way to sculpt the fender lips? (Tape an outline, scribe into the fiberglass, ??)
What tools do you use to bring it to the right format? (Dremel, drill, cut off tool, reciprocating saw, router, or?)
From looking at completed FIAs, it seems like quite a bit of material is removed OR huge amounts of filler are added.
Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
