We have decided to startover the streamlining built around a solid structure. Rear Tail Section Underbody Section The idea here is to build a streamline tail section and underneath section. Both have to meet the Dry Lake rules   I tracked these people on the web and popped out to see them...  http://www.dalchem.com.au 141 Herald Street  Cheltenham,  Victoria  Australia  3192  By shear luck the guy behind the counter was also thinking about running on a Dry Lake and was already forming car body parts out of foam... so I got some very expert adivce.     I will be using Dalchem - GP2 Foam. The proceedure will be to wax the scooter on the sections I will be streamlining. This needs 5-10 coats of wax and some gladwrap to protect the scooter body work. By using the scooter as a form, it will save cutting and shaping that part later. The rest will be very roughly cast with cardboard covered with plastic packing tape. We will end up with two big ugly lumps, one molded to the tail section and the other to underneath. From here we shape them to be beautiful sculptures of scooter streamlining. Once complete, the finish will be resin which will protect and can be painted.   Tags: (Edit tags) No tags Attach file or image Files (2) File Size Date Attached by   aero (Large).jpg No description 113.72 kB 21:57, 10 May 2010 internetscooter Actions Attach new version Edit description Move/rename Delete gp2_tds.pdf No description 48.16 kB 21:57, 10 May 2010 internetscooter Actions Attach new version Edit description Move/rename Delete Images 1 aero (Large).jpg     Comments (0) You must login to post a comment.
