  • thats the hard way

  • @GasserGlass Then whats the easiest way to make a mold that you can literally make hundreds of castings from that turn out exactly the same with no problems? People keep saying "thats the hard way" or "thats a round-about way"...etc, but have noting to add with regard to an "easier" or "better" way. please dont comment without having anything to back it up or add to this subject.

  • nice music

  • brush buddy

  • @CivicFiberglassDoor ............. MAKE A FIBERGLASS MOLD.............Most car parts molds are made of fiberglass itself....... Since the early 1960s is how it been down........ TOOLING GELCOAT is what is used to make the mold and Iso gelcoat to make your parts......... I have a few mold here that have had HUNDREDS of pulls or parts make from them!

  • Finally, I video with GOOD music! It's about damn time. Very good videos, very helpful.

  • TOP GEAR SONG!

  • @mossjr c'mon man -- it's The Allman Brothers Band playing "Jessica." It came out in the 1970's. The Top Gear theme is a tricked out version of the original -- not the other way around. Sheesh -- you Brits. But you're right -- it is a kickass song.
