Stick Figure Racing: April 2012

http://stickfigureracing.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Friday, April 20, 2012. One of the issues is to shape the new fenders to look like the Fiat 600 Abarth of 1961. Bob came over and helped me out in getting some shape in the fender. We started by putting wax paper on a rigid plastic and bending it over the back of the body. Next we mixed a two part marine foam to create a carve-able shape. A little trick to this is to mix the foam in a plastic bag and cut the end off to pour. Less mess and less waste. Just make sure all of your holes are covered!
