Seat cowl

[treedoc_imp]

Hi all, I have been looking at the bless r seat cowl recently, but I am too cheap to spend $500+ and too impatient to wait 3 months, so I thought I would have a crack at making one.

I have never done any fibreglassing before and I had a failed attempt at making a mold, so I thought I would use the seat for the mold.

I covered the seat with glad wrap, and glued a couple of pieces of polystyrene together which I shaped to make the hump.

I then glad wrapped the hump to the seat and glassed over it.

Once it is set, if everything goes to plan I will be able to get it off the seat (fingers crossed), bog the crap out of it and paint it and it will look halfway decent.

Or I might have to cut it off the seat and throw it in the bin

So far it looks better than I had hoped, there is three layers of cloth on it, I am planning on another layer one I get it off the seat, but I have no idea what I am doing and am just making it up as I go. Maybe it will need more layers?

At the end of the day, as long as I don't ruin my seat I will be happy...
