Any decent body filler that will stick to fiberglass will work. Scrub a light coat into the surface in 3 or 4 directions before applying the fill coat, this will get the filler into the pores better. The part is still left on the foam and plywood buck because it is easier to handle during the bodywork phase. |
As this is a one-off fan shroud, special fairing techniques are not employed in its execution. A DA sander with 80 grit is used in all accessable areas, and hand sanding in the corners is done with 80 grit as well. | As this is a one-off fan shroud, special fairing techniques are not employed in its execution.
