Fiberglass is also alot cheaper then silicon. Also are you still using pva? if so I would not recommend it as pva tends to leave an orange peel in the gel coat, use the wax it work way better. If you are using wax how are you going about applying it? coats ect. let me know I am just trying to help out

I picked silicone because I thought it'd demold easily, and allowed me to make only a single part glove mold rather than a two part mold. I'll probably go fiberglass on my other projects, but I'm not skilled enough for two part molds yet..

Yeah, the pva left a bit of a funky orange peel... The wax I have goes on kinda like car wax, you brush it on, then polish it with a rag. Three coats are what the instructions were...

I dont mind sharing, and I definitely appreciate advice.

Scoop update, I'm ready to start laying fiberglass, so I'll go pick up some throw away brushes tomorrow and some gloves... Hopefully its warm out tomorrow and sunny.

please tell me you still make these

I would like to buy a pre-face scoop if there are any available. Who knows when the funds will be available, but I am definately buying one asap

Yup, I still make em, I'm finishing up the jigs and what not for the bolt-on pattern, jigs have slowed me time and time again, but I'm on the last step and I should be able to makes these much quicker, I'm not taking orders just yet, but soon. I've obligations to fufil.

haha for sure man, I definately think its worth it to spend the little extra for the bolt-in scoops anyways. Not to try and jump off track to easily, but how do those ELHs sound on your leggy?

listen for yourself http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejzBBrC3Ak8

Well once you get them to the point where you're selling them you can surely put me on the list for one.

hows that last jig working for you?

I am still waiting for the post-facelift scoop! Let me know when you have them available.

pop rivet that scoop or it'll come off no matter what glue you used. it may not come off soon. but i don't want to see that scoop get ruined its to nice.

so these are done and ready to order right? don't have money right now, but hopefully it snows a bunch and i can make bank shovelin roofs

When are we gonna be able to purchase these from you?
Cause I would love the look of my car with one of these scoops on it.
