In this episode, Jeremy explains in great detail, how to create moldless fiberglass parts. This is also known as moldless composite construction. The video details the foam product used, how to make templates, how to transfer templates, how to bond foam to the round rod structure, and finally how to apply fiberglass resin to solidify the parts.

Really cool job and super informative video,thank you. I am preparing to fabricate my own body kit from scratch using this method. Im 20 years old ,this is my first attempt of anything like this, is there anything you would recommend for someone in my boat(anything i might overlook and things i should expect)?

I really appreciate the comment! My biggest piece of advice would be to practice using all the methods and materials first. Once you feel confident, move forward! There is honestly so much that can go into a project. Just take your time and measure like crazy...good luck!!

I've been looking for a process like this for my project, really like your approach. Have a question for you: I'm assuming you've applied this concept to other vehicles and taken it all the way to the finished state, have you noticed any kind of telegraphing from the steel rod through the paint job? Only asking due to the differences in materials, the steel will contract or expand with the outside temperatures whereas the composites won't. Just curious, thanks.

@brendleconcepts 5 ай бұрын

Great question. I have never had an issue with paint after the fact. But in all fairness, those projects really only ever saw the garage and shows. I use a bonding adhesive on the metal before I actually lay fiberglass. I sand it down, just leaving enough for grip. My theory was basically just to add a substrate that they both bond to.

Where did you get your foam materials and what brand of resin do you use?

@brendleconcepts 9 ай бұрын

I use pellon ff78f1 foam for this project. I get my resin from a local supply store. It is a polyester resin.

How do you connect the metal to the fiberglass base panel?

@brendleconcepts 8 күн бұрын

@TheoTHERON_SA 3 күн бұрын

you should consider looking into "skiving". Not sure of the spelling. It has to do with making leather thinner to glue. kind of the process you are doing with your scissors for glue up

why didn't you just lay fiberglass instead of the resin layer?

@brendleconcepts 10 ай бұрын

I prefer to presoak materials like foam first to prep the surface for fiberglass. This will stop the foam from absorbing the resin as I apply it to the fiberglass mat. The second reason is that there is additional work that I need to do before adding fiberglass.

@@brendleconcepts I 💯 agree, I’m the same way, I make all kinds of things by hand where it makes sense. But having made carbon fiber and fiberglass molds and layups in the past it’s just insanely time consuming, makes a mess, and isn’t really necessary unless you love sanding and filling that much. Theres a lot of other things I’d rather be making or doing with the saved time.

Sometimes hands on is cost effective since you'd probably want to use a high grade 3d printer which can be in the thousands including consumables. I have only less than a two hundred in fiberglass mat, resin, and foam.
