Started casting the grill shell mold

After priming and painting, I was taping the edges, and noticed an air pocket behind the plaster. So I decided to tape the entire plug. Next I taped the plug to the plastic. and hot glued the divider into place. Followed with four coats of paste wax, as a release agent. Next I applied four layers of fiberglass. It's a little ugly to me, kind of reminds me of my old Kevlar helmet. But I'm happy with it being my first mold...:D

Morgan three wheeler grill shell almost ready for casting

Three wheeler grill shell is ready for final prep before making the mold. This has been a new learning experience. But I am enjoying it.  Added for the recess, applied final coat of plaster of paris. Needs final sanding, and secured to the mold base.

Morgan 3 wheeler nose cone plug coming along

The nose cone plug coming along nicely. Shaped the styrofoam was some 80 grit, then I applied a thin layer of bondo over it, to give it some strength. Hit the high spot off the bondo, and started setting up layers of Plaster of Paris. First time trying this, Someone else showed me way. It is working great! Still plenty to do....

Morgan three wheeler nose cone / grill shell

I was working on building the nose cone / grill shell today. I had limited cutting and sanding supplies, but you know how it goes,"Adapt and Overcome". I hot glued the styro together, Roughed it out with a saws all. Shaped it with a wire wheel, and a side grinder....lol. Hopefully the I will be able to get some sanding supplies tomorrow to shape it up better.  I have decided to favor to new morgan three wheeler grill style. I make some mock ups of four different grills (BRA, Ace, Jag, and triking) before I decided.
