ThomasW Posted March 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 A little update on the firewall panels. I’ve done two so far and havent been happy with the final outcome. The first one turned out fairly nice except for 2 area’s that werent pressed completely against the mold surface. The shape of these are making i difficult to get them perfect. That said, i’ve got Version 3 half way ready to infuse. I’m using some of the same core material as the Saleen T1’s which should solve the problems i have been having. Here is the first one i did with a thin coat of clear: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasW Posted March 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Firewall panel is out of the bag. Its 99% perfect and i know exactly what i screwed up that made it less than 100% perfect. Luckily, its good enough that i can easily fix it and use it. Tomorrow i’ll be spraying clear on the mold and getting ready to start on everyone who purchased one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasW Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Another firewall panel is ready. It is now im the vacuum bag waiting to be infused. I’ll likely do that later this evening once the bottom section of the T1 is mostly cured: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasW Posted March 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Firewall panel #2 is out and trimmed. I also sprayed an additional coat of cleae on both of them as well. Shipping boxes have been ordered and should arrive by friday. So i’ll be messaging everyone as the panels are completed with a final balance due to include shipping expenses. So far the average is about $35. After 2 days of cold weather, i was finally able to get clear sprayed again, so i’ll have a third panel here in a few days.

ThomasW Posted April 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) While yet Another T1 and firewall panel cure, i worked on the skinng of my cowl panel. Did some cleaning, sanding, bit more cleaning, then spent 8hrs putting on 4 separate coats of epoxy. Once this cures i can sand it flat, one final layer of epoxy, sand that flat, then apply a clear coat and it’ll be done. Hopefully by then the final T1 and three firewall panels will be done so i can make my firewall panel. Edited April 5, 2018 by ThomasW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
