Build-off bike = stock frame. :|
good looking bike so far! 
i love those frames.
i love those frames.
A bit more progress finally... The seat model/mold was placed on the frame to make sure I was good with the design before going any further.
The foam model was then carefully sanded to smooth it all out a bit and round sharp corners near the top. Since Polyester Resin will eat or dissolve the foam, I spray glued the foam and tightly wrapped it with a this garbage bag to protect the core. Then 4 layers of 10oz fiberglass cloth were laid up over the core. The untrimmed result is this:
This was completed last night. Next, all high spots will be ground down and the surface smoothed, blended, and shaped to it's final form then will be finished in a special mold primer which after sanding and buffing will create a slick mold surface.
More pics to come when I get that far.

Looking very cool so far, can't wait to see what else you do to it.

Thank you all... Progress is really slow lately as I am helping plan a poker run, recently bought another motorcycle, and such, but should pick up again shortly...
