Following on from the mould making from last episode, in today's episode we make the rear clamshell for the Group C build. This is the largest fiberglass part I've ever produced. Enjoy the video.

Nice job, you are legend... :) WIll you make new mould based on this part, or you just pray not to damage it in the future?
Yes, once the whole car is finished and we've figured out where the doors go and how it all bolts together, then I'll make a new set of moulds off it. There's going to be so much work to get it sitting nice out of these moulds that there is no point in reusing them, it would be more work to make another part from these printed moulds, then sand those down to make them smooth, than just making new moulds off these.
"I bet it will be lots of fun and not a massive pain in the ass at all". Iβm nowhere near working on fiberglass parts of that size yet, and I know that was sarcasm. Love the humor!
