Building Better Bodies 3: Popping Them Out

Update by Per Schroeder to the LeGrand Mk 18 project car
May 19, 2011

Our LeGrand body is nearing completion. Once the lay-up process is complete, the fiberglass needs to cure for 24 hours. After that, plastic wedges are used to slowly pry the body out of its mold. The process takes just a few minutes.

The completed nose weighs just 28 pounds—an 11-pound savings over the one we’ve been racing with.

I wonder if they could make a mold of my GT6 fibreglass front nose ?
