So, Some Issues with the Widebody... - Sta-GTR build: Part 15

Part 15 of the Stagea GTR Conversion. In this video I try out a new method and make mistakes so that you don’t have to. In recap, jointing compound works great as a plug for a one off part like my mx5 fastback roof where the plug is skinned in fiberglass and then the final product is filled and sanded. But for a plug that you intend to make a mould from, jointing compound is far too soft to get good details from and so it’s better to stick with auto body filler. If you’re interested in supporting me you can find all of my fiberglass products on the official Tofu Auto Works website.
