Its actually called..Mcguires maximum release mold wax and its about $ 34.00 a tin and it does have an 8 on the lid of the tin. Cheers

The mold release that I have had 100% success with is the Mcguire 8 step wax in a gold tin, apply it by rubbing it on the surface, leave until dry, polish to gloss then reapply wax. Complete this process until the correct number of coats are applied. When I molded the next body, I only applied 3...

Rear axel set up. I have set up the various components roughly as they will be in the car, the off set means outside to diff center drivers side is 900mm and the other side is 580mm. Basically you sit low in front of the axel and beside the diff head. I will try and use the standard...

I have a rule, one project at a time! but there is a clause subsection 1 that I can plan and acquire parts for the next build...SO. The plan is to build a visual replica of an early 60`s Volopini formula Junior....cause I can. They are a really nice looking little car that should be a lot of...

Leon Look online under motorsport nz , schedule A PAGE 59 to 62 and you will see that they can be demount-able using two specific joint types. Had the bolt / insert type certified on the first car no problems. Cheers Russell

Leon As per my phone call, I use scales and weigh out my resin in yoghurt containers....eat lotsa yoghurt. That way you know exactly what you are dealing with and I always weigh out the same amount, often have a row of pre weighed amounts and the I use a syringe to measure out the hardner...

Thanks Udo will look forward to catching up, it was a sale made in heaven so easy to complete and the car will be available for some time. It will probably be worth more once they move it on. Regards Russell

Leon, that`s looking great, I am sure you must have liked do nuts as a child because those tyres are just the go! I am currently fitting the body and making mounts to suit. I will be glad once the dusty stuff is done and dusted. Cheers Russell

Well after numerous measurements and estimates when fabricating the chassis, all the body elements are roughly in place. The only area where surgery was required is the same as on the original cars, the front shock tower mounts protrude into the wheel arch / radiator well. Simple shapes will be...

Leon, great effort. I do not think most will understand the amount of effort required to get to this point.....and its not the finished product yet. I like the idea of painting the buck Orange as it gives a big boost to moral. Its going to look great. I am fitting the body on mine at present...

Jac, many thanks, that looks very similar to the Flow master one so we are on the right track, I picked up some perforated pipe to help with the noise baffling. I should have listened to you in the first instance. At least I only have to remake the muffler as all my connections are bolted /...

I have been looking at how Flow master mufflers are baffled and have drawn up what I think could work, the main difference is that mine will be side entry versus end entry. The body will be one piece with a division down the middle to separate the `two` mufflers and there will be a balance hole...

Leon, now that is looking good, soon we will have sound! Great effort.

Two into one muffler with twin outlets. Does anyone have designs or comments on the construction of a muffler as described above? Due to `TECHNICAL ERROR` my mufflers are very close to the body work and protrude out the back 30 to 40mm which means that there can be no grill work fitted. I may...

Terry I have attached a drawing cross section of the spoiler lip showing how its attached. Once its `stuck` you can then glass it over. Udo, I am in Auckland, Murrays Bay and would look forward to meeting you. Let us know closer to the date and we can make it happen. Cheers

At last I can relax, that`s the last big bit of molding behind me. 1.5hrs to gel coat, wait 4 hours then 3 hours of hand laminating and its all OK. I was a little apprehensive as I had previously started it on Sat and had a gel coat failure due to over doing the catalyst (2%). I was being a...

Terry, I suspect over-engineering in your thought process, When I made my first one, I molded it on the buck as it seemed like a good idea. When it came to fitting it, it was about 5 to 6 mm wider....the body had shrunk that much in curing so I had to cut it in two just like the original. That...

Jack, really nice piece of light pine, as its a road car I had the option of waiting a couple of days to spend some more dollars buying high strength foam or just go for it. So a few coats of wax, rip up the pine in the bench saw ans stick it in place with bondo fil. Then mask it out and throw...
