Patrick,
Your mention of the corrugation is right on but those are like 3/16" thick, there are pure plastic (of some type) material signs that are much thinner and thus easy to do smooth cures with.
In spots you need to use tape or whatever works try spraying surface with PVA or polyvinyl acetate. PVA is water soluble so clean up is easy or hit it with high pressure air gun (but that makes shop clean up instead of object clean up). Have fun

Hey, everything worked well and I now have a trunk. pieces all trimmed and refit. now I knew I would have to cut it in half to get it to work but I will fasten them together during final assembly.
Now to move forward. rear cockpit wall, tunnel, and custom dash are left.
Lurkers, I know this thread gets lots of traffic, so speak up good or bad I would love to have your opinions. Plus I don't get out to much so this is as close to contact as I get sometimes  ;

Patrick, I am following your build and getting more ideas for my build. Have the front suspension mounted (tacked ) and am starting the rear brackets in the morning, will try posting some pics tomorrow. Your work is awsome. Carl.

Carl,

It's great to see Joey and Carl getting started on their builds, I don't feel so alone here. Well one more panel done. Rear cockpit firewall,
Now I have some artistic carving to do, the tunnel and dash are next this is where things are going to slow down a bit.

I am a serial lurker (well thats what my mom used to say anyway or was that shurker) on your site. I am building a Cobra (slowly).
I can not add anything to what you are doing other than to say simply AWESOME.
I cant wait for you to do the dash.

I love coming here to watch the build progress! In the future I hope to be where you are now, as far as actually building a car, but have to get some personnel issues in my life resolved before that can happen. So for now, I will simply enjoy watching what you have accomplished. Besides, you've given me some really neat idea's!
