3d printed body mold buck is "plugging" along. We modified the nose design after viewing the 1/4 scale model. Renders simply don't show the car well.
The left side is printed, 50% assembled. Pieces are hot stapled and seams plastic welded. Gluing is messy and and so far the plastic welding/staple method is as strong as the printed layers. You only pick up a hot staple one, probaly like burning your leg on a sidepipe...
The body seems to fit the chassis nicely. Windshield wraps around roll cage perfectly. Staples need to be clipped to let the body sit closer to the chassis but it looks good so far. Hoping to have a fully assembled body on the chassis mid May. The plug ready for for tooling by July.
