More human than human
As it stands, I've got a set of sidepanels from a Z1100 (I think, might be the Eddie Lawson rep), and a modifed tail unit that was created from an ELR tail piece, a sheet of steel and a shit load of fibreglass and body filler, and it weighs a LOT. It was only mocked up to get the short & stubby tail unit that I wanted, and I had originally intended for a blag to get it copied in fibreglass (at that point it was a mag project, and blagging was on the cards).
As it is now, I'm going to have a go at making some moulds and replicating the tail unit and sidepanels myself. I could fit the sidepanels as they are, but would like to have some of the ides extended to meet the frame rails, and I want them fastened with proper fasteners, and not the standard 'pop in and hope' nipples and rubbers...

Ahh yes, good old fibreglassing. The job you forget how much you hate until you have it all over your hands and forehead.

Thanks Si. I'm both looking forward to it, and dreading it at the same time...
Will start with one of the sidepanels and see how it goes - the tail unit it going to need a three piece mould, so will be a proper headfuck. Start simple...
I've given the panels a treat with several grades of wet and dry, now it's on to the polishing.

In a bid to distract myself from the woes of the Zed build, here's some of the things left to do on this one... more to be added as and when.Attachment 8844
Looks like the menu at our local Chinky before it closed.
Not much to do then.....?
Let's face it, you'd be looking for another project if the list was smaller.

Another project you say?... Hmmm, tempted...
In the meantime, spacers and stuff arrived from a mate.
Spacers fitted to lower rear engine mount, and bolt shortened and re-threaded to suit. Bungs tappAttachment 8846ed for 8mm and slid into rear framerails, will be used to support a subframe / undertray thingy at a later date...Attachment 8845
Also pondering cooler choice - which ones, and where...Attachment 8847

More layers on the first part of the tail mould...

And then the sign board divider was removed to start on the second part. The plasticene filler was trimmed up, and removed from the locating 'bumps' before more beeswax polishing and then gel coat...

And then, with a little persuasion, split apart.
