Another Bedford

Took a drive to the local pub. 

.

Was a very slow drive, until I realized the vacuum hose wasn’t connected.

Made up these, small section of tube with a washer either end.

 

This is where I’m headed next, wish me luck.

Now a lift off thingymabob for the back

Well, I've made a start!
Need to use plenty of imagination.

Bit of CAD (Cardboard Assisted Drama) and transferred to some chipboard.

 

 

 

Foolishly took a gig working away from home, so with house renovations, life etc, truck time has been reduced.

But now I’ve got a big drum of fiberglass resin and two bags of vermiculite, ain’t no stopping me now!!

Have to squint and use a LOT of imagination.
Front part of the frame is made, needed to do this whilst the ‘lift-off’ part was on the truck, to make sure it kinda blended to the cab shape.

The remainder of the shape will be formed with: polystyrene blocks, crates, expanding foam, pizza boxes etc. covered in plaster:vermiculite (30:70) 

I will staple a fleece blanket over the wooden frame and spray with resin.
This will provide enough rigidity to allow me to fiberglass inside & out.

corners will be shaped with the plaster mix.

Homemade resin rollers:

Big washer, small washer etc on a paint roller
Length of threaded rod, drilled out, on a paint roller.
