Got back on Friday from the Shanghai show, and every surrounding family member is incapacitated in some way, from car accident to Covid (phase 2 starting), so spent the weekend chasing after them.
Back to it tomorrow (Monday) I hope, 4 days lost though.

... and so I got sick too, anyways, thought it was Covid the way it knocked me off my feet late Sunday and Monday, 2 x tests say no, and almost normal again today, so just caught a 48 hour bug of some sort.
So finally finished off the firewall box design, all files have been sent to the laser shop, hopefully metal sheet will be delivered in the morning, and I'll have it all in my hands in the afternoon to run it over to the fold shop.
If that's not enough to excite you, here's "Captain Melon!", fighter of evil and injustice, but mostly rescues cats stuck in trees .....
Good, back to a normal day, eg; Laser parts cut, off to the fold shop, back to my shop and start sticking the mold together.
You can see it's a 2 piece mold, bolted together in the middle, otherwise you would not be able to remove the fiberglass part from the straight sides.

will you do the casting from the mold .... ?
It's called laying up or layups, and yes, I will likely assist as I quite enjoy fiberglassing, I have made many of my own one off molds and parts over the years.
I seem to be unaffacted by the smell or the itching that so many complain about.

Into the final stages of the mold, just about finished.
Setting up the pedals, and I did change their orientation slightly.
I also had to cut a corner off the chocolate bar directly above the brake pedal assembly for bolt clearance, the corner the red arrow is pointing too, but not yet removed in this earlier picture.
