Making molds of a part or 2

Now that I have finished the molds up for the speaker kick panels for the early darts, I have worked on a new part. here it is and NO it's not done yte I forgot to adjust for the styrene shrinkage. I have to wait for my sprayable polyester resin to come in.

here is what they look like as of now. dang the cell phone sure was dirty.. I'll have to clean the lens on that thing.

got it popped off the mold.. it was TIGHT!

didn't fit too bad up here on this end and was even better on the door panel side than the originals were.

here's where it shrank the most. I'm going to add another 1/4 -1/2 to this edge and let it be long so I can trim to fit.

top side fit pretty good, but I need to make a female plug for the door side to make the lines Crisper in the undercut.

I just checked the originals and even they were short. hmmmm gotta be a reason for that.

I'll still add on that length to make sure it's covered.

I'll still add on a little on this side too so I get an even better fit.
