[MessyHonda]

[oldschool3g]

thanks for your comments guys. ill be doing alot more work to the engine and suspension now that i have a garage

[mkymonkey]

are you going to paint the underside of the dash too?

[coope]

that the cleanest fuckin hatch i ever seen looks better than most civic hatches dame

[oldschool3g]

are you going to paint the underside of the dash too?

Yeah..im still debating on whether or not i should take out the dash or just paint it while its in the car to make it easier

[BITESIZE]

Some better pictures would be nice, since they don't do any justice. I would paint the dash in the car, that way you can get high. lol

yeah its completely home made. ive been doing some research on trying to somehow use the kit thats on the car and mold a few others without messing up the original thats on the car.

If you carefully coat the kit with some thin vinyl tape all over, not overlapping edges, it will protect your paint underneath. Then coat it in some "Partall" release wax, and spritz it over with some PVA (poly vinyl acetate) that will thin and smoothen the partall release wax.

Mix up enough "Tooling Gelcoat" to cover the whole part abot 1/8" thick. Keep it from running off with a brush until it starts to kick off and harden. Allow it to get to a tacky point, then mix up some poly-ester resin and some 4 0z plain weave fiberglass cloth, and start building it up. You'll need a good 15-2- layers, or until it's about 3/4" thick. You can do this build up in stages, as long as you allow it to cure fully then grind off the surface a bit to allow the next layers to bond properly. This is actually preferred anyway because a one shot buildup can cause alot of heat during the catalyzation of the resins.

Once you have the glass build up on the back for rigidity, cut ou sme 1/2" ply wood supports that will keep the mold from flexing and to make a sort of flat working stand, and epoxy this to the back.

Once done, you should have a very strong, production type mold that you can vacuum bag parts in and have them come out very uniformly and smooth everytime!

Thanks man the vinyl tape seems like a good idea.

Ive heard that the Rexco partall film#10 is really good for this type of thing. is that true?. how and with what exactly do you make or mix the gelcoat? Do you know where i can get a good gelcoat?

[Hauntd ca3]

that s a fuckin awsome lookin hatch dude
i'd be proud as to have that in the garage

[Civic Accord Honda]

looks fucking sick dude!!!
and if u paint the dash REMOVE it 1st otherwise u will get overspary and paint dust all over

[Whiter]

[russiankid]

Looks good as always, keep up the good work!

[oldschool3g]

thanks guys....sorry if the pics are a little crappy. My good camera doesn't work..so i have to use my friends.

[GraniteLXI]

Wow, defiantly one of the hottest hatches ive seen yet! I love your body kit.

[jigga225]

I'm liking the wheels and the 2-tone interior.
Congrats again on AOM

[oldschool3g]

thanks. Im pretty much done with the interior except for the dash and a few small rear pieces. i had to order some more paint this time because i bought all the cans they had at 2 local autozones i go too..lol.

[frantik]

[mykwikcoupe]

if you ever decide to sell hit me up. Ive got a gsr otor waiting to go into it. By far the best looking black hatch Ive seen on here. Everything on it just flows. Not too keen on the 2 tone interior myself but the rest is pimp. Nice

[oldschool3g]

Here are some new pics of the hatch and some new goodies the FedEx chick dropped off

[coope]

nice where u get those bushings
