Hi everyone,

I have been trying to get this body ready for the 12 Hours of Green Run. I do have one major problem with it that has been kicking my but and theta the venting of air on the bottom of the front fenders. Even pressure casting hasn't helped. If I do not figure out this problem I will be making either a Ferrari 250 LM, Ferrari GT 250 or P330 all three will be brand new LWB casting based on based on some diecast that have been in my to-do box for a long time. I also may redo my TFX Porsche 917 so there will be a new casting as a race prize. I may also go ahead and let the entrants decide which one the want. I have been thinking about taking a Ferrari Test Rossa and putting a slim-line under it as one of my entries for the race.

Not sure I quite understood the problem, I assume you want to cast both top and bottom surfaces of the fender and that, there is therefore a cavity in your silicone mold that doesnt properly fill, but pockets air instead? Have you tried pushing the resin slush in with say a toothpick and squeezing/stretching the mold and standing it up?

Anyway whatever the problem the car is beautiful! I would love one of those too.
