why old stock model sir....i thought it is brand new

dito kasi sa pinas laging huling lumalabas ung mga revision/changes ng isng vehicle, as compared sa ibang bansa. parang dito ine-exhaust ung mga lumang mga stocks..

Memphis,

Almost done...hehehe...ginawa kong project sa polymer seminar yung center cap ko:
Attachment 8542

Kailangan pang linisin yung excess fiberglass and re-touch the uneven surface.

Eto ang molde niya:
Attachment 8543
Ang kailangan na lang ay yung locking mechanism sa likod...kailangan ko pang maggawa ng isa pang molde to do it....then ididikit yun sa center cap front.

Mga two weeks pa at most (nasa Davao ako whole week next week eh) before I can send the proto-type sa iyo.

Wow galing mo pre! You learn fast from that seminar

Just like the original!

Mahirap bang gawin ang mold? Looks like you now have a new and profitable hobby

**srbogoy** · June 24th, 2007 12:23 AM

Wow!!! galing ni wildthing,,'pre pwede ka na gumawa ng body kits or body parts,,

ang molde 'pre anong materyal ginamit ?? at maganda ang finish tinapalan ba ng scotch tape ang face ng molde?
malapit na pala ang bed cover na ala sportrac at ang shave tail ko

...

memphis,, wala ka na problema sa center caps mo Bai, gawa na pala..

the molde is from RTV (room temp vulcanizing rubber).

the original hub cap kailangan lang punasan ng very thin coat ng petroleum jelly (ex. vaseline) bago ibuhos yung RTV (liquid form ito before ito magcure) para hindi ito kumapit sa original. Maghaharden into rubber consistency yung molde pagnagset na.

it all boils down to practice and technique para magawa ito PERFECTLY. My mold above was not perfect kaya kailangan pang iretouch yung final product.

Tapos kaya makintab yung final product, merun "gel kote" resin ito - na ginawa kong slight grayish color (by adding color pigment dun sa white the gel resin). Then a layer of fiberglass and regular resin (para dumikit yung fiberglass). The fiberglass is needed to strengthen it.

Then that's it...just wait to dry.

Someday (kung mapagaralan ko na how) ipopost ko sa you tube yung DVD video clip ng "how to" nila.

Alternatively, if you want to learn this...they (Polymer products Phils) have a Cebu branch and you can get this video from them - I-scan ko na lang yung manual and notes nila from the seminar (if they are not selling it in cebu). Pati yung needed ingredients merun din sila.

Pagkatapos ng bed cover, I'll do the shaved-tail and the bed cover...pag tinopak ako baka isang buong bed cover (carryboy/camper shell) ang gawin ko rin... I'm dreaming of a cover to imitate the modelong SUBURBAN rear

wildthing,
daghang salamat sa brief explanation, parang napicture ko na kung papaano ito ginawa, sa materyales at mixture na lang ang kulang,,,

so mas magastos pala sa materyales ang paggawa ng molde

...abangan ko na lang ang post mo sa you tube at iresearch ko na din ang Cebu branch ng polymer products,,ayos pala kung tinopak dahil buong camper shell ang gagawin mo, heheheheh

may kakilala akong gumagawa sa Cebu ng fiberglass parts, pero ayaw ishare ang natutunan nya at naiintindihan ko naman dahil pinaghirapan niya yun..
