Back with a few more pictures of the kicks. I got a good seven hours in so I have made some progress..
This is the first sand I had done on the panels. No profiling yet. The carpet needs to be cleaned.
Fresh layer of tape. I typically need to redo the tape three times as it it is destroyed between coats. If I were a smarter man I would use a mold release.
You can see in this shot that they are not yet symmetrical. No biggie. We'll just build out the panel.
Extra material was added and the small gaps were filled.
There is a moderate amount of sanding on the panels to be done along with a finish coat. The passenger side needs the angle adjusted to better match the drivers side. So, I will end up hog-ing out some material so they have identical profiles.
The next few shots are closeups of both panels. The drivers side is much closer. It matches the contours of the vehicle rather nicely.
This second shot of the drivers' side brings up a conundrum. I think that I will end up bonding the fabbed kick and the plastic fatory panel. It will make it a pain in the but to wrap but I believe it will end up looking better.
Last shot is the passenger side. I am going to try to get as much done as I can tomorrow as it is going to be raining hardcore this weekend and I have a 4 hr. interview for a job on monday.
