GTR Stagea - Making the Fiberglass Fenders (Patreon)

After giving the moulds a couple days to cure and the obligatory building up 8 layers of wax and a coat of PVA I got started on the first set of fenders.Standard recipe for these fenders. Gelcoat in the evening, followed by coupling coat in the morning; 1 layer 80gsm tissue and a layer 250gsm, then let that cure and apply 2 layers of 450 gsm.These ones came out of the mould super easily and if you haven't checked out the video I'd recommend just skipping to taking these out of the moulds. So satisfying, it's like unwrapping presents on Christmas.The flanges allow these parts to be made via vacuum infusion in the future if I ever decide to make them out of carbon. But either way, the flanges were trimmed off and the fenders were sanded to final shape.Then the moment of truth. After months of shaping and designing the completed fiberglass fenders were finally fitted to the car.I could not be happier with the overall fitment on these. The panel gaps are all spot on both down the door and along the bonnet. Even the section underneath the bonnet came out really clean and will look like factory once painted up.
