VinsRJ 721 #1 Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Since making my fiberglass RJ hood I have been making a couple fiberglass parts here and there. Well I told one of my friends that when the resin cures... it can get pretty darn hot... to a point where it sometimes melts the bottoms off the platics mixing cup. As you can see it can get pretty hot! This was taken after it started to cool too. Edited February 26, 2013 by VinsRJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #2 Posted February 26, 2013 Yes it can get HOT, I've been working with it on and off for 30 years more so years ago when cars used fiberglass not plastic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VinsRJ 721 #7 Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) I'll add hood pics tonight... I'm also working on fiberglass RJ belt guards... I know, I know... not original but my thought process is a lower cost alternative until you are able to find and economical original replacement. Here is a vid with the hood in it...

buckrancher 2,678 #9 Posted February 26, 2013 Wish I had known you had that older 55 frame I could have traded you a early 56 for it and I could have used the early frame with tank mount for one of my projects Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quick blast and it would be pretty much mint. I was going to put it up on ebay and see were it goes... interested?
