MY C4 "PROJECT" update
It's been a while, been out in the garage all winter literally whittling away at the car. Trying to "design as I go". It's been a lot of trial and error. Still have to fit the windshield in and the wheel openings. It's not going to be a woody, it's just a mold for fiberglass.
Let me know what you think. It's not modeled after any particular car.

that guy in the back never offered me any of that

Nice project, but you may get banned posting pics of your "Woody"

What is the goal? Are you going to create a fiberglass body from this mold, and attach it to your C4? Any concerns about wiring, lighting, etc.? Also, legal for road use or show car only?

yes, it's a mold. I plan on wiring it with a new harness, the old stuff was cut with a sawzall when they cut the body panels. Kind of a ground up, bare bones build, no computer, old school gauges and a carburetor.

Is it a mold, or is it a plug that you will use to pull a mold off of? Gonna need some more draft if it's the latter.
When I saw Larry Graff, the owner of Aspen Power Catamarans build the hull plug for his newest model 40' yacht, it looked pretty much like that, strips upon strips of wood..... and lots and lots of Bondo!!

I am always amazed and a bit jealous of people with this kind of talent. I can’t even imagine where to start a project like this.

was looking for a 58 chevy,pontiac, vette and whatever that rear end is suppose to be? But thanks, I was looking for some good critcizem I hope it doesn't look as bad as a station wagon although I know it's as aerodynamic as a brick
