The great great Ben and Marty meet up

[doofhard]

There is going to have to be many stories from this trip, with Ben travelling from Vic to NSW and back in his beddy I thought i'd start the thread to make sure it's all documented.

So is Ben up there yet Marty?

+ A big thanks to Marty for holding on to that door for me with no hassles
+ A big thanks to Ben who's bringing it back for me

I have never been on a forum with such friendly helpful people

G'day
I hang my head in shame as I intended to gate crash the meeting while I was in Sydney at the Atomic Live Conference at Olympic Park. I was travelling with others and intended to sneak out Sunday morning but I forgot to take my Street Directory. Oh well next time.

hey scotty (Doofhard), ben got here ok,
lol, thanks for startin this post, haha, now u put us on the spot,.
ben said to me dont let me forget doofhards rear 1 piece door,
im going to write it everywhere so i dont forget, lol.
eddy ben said to say g/day bro,
warren ben just got lost once thanks 2 me, lol.
i thought he was somewhjere he wasnt,
 he said he went left a and was seeing cows
i thought he had taken the left wrong left  turn,
so i said go back, lol, but he didnt say he was on narellan rd/ the northern rd,
otherewise i woulda said keep going, 
anyway he got here ok, mon arvo.
we went to the fiberglass place at 3pm mon arvo.
got al;l the material, ben spent $700 plus and me $390. i didnt need as much as ben, ive got all the tools, and most materials from previous jobs.
so we didnt get anything done mon, tue we started,
ben had to kick me a few times to get me to part with my comfotable bed ,lol, bens a slave driver and im a lasy ass, haha.
we needed to do a lot of repairs to the front spoiler, flaires, etc to get them
to the perfect condition to make moulds from.
there,s no point making moulds of items that arnt perfect as u just get imperfect  products. i spent most my time on the front spoiler repairing chips,  cracks and rebuilding bits that were damaged in removal. 
tomorrow, (thursday the parts will be ready for the moulds to be made)
im pretty fussy, and bens fussy 2 so the finished fiberglass products will be worth the extra effort .
at least the parts made from the moulds will be good when finished.
here,s some pictures,
ben arriving.


i asked ben how much he loved black beddy, lol.he said this much.

the beddy cousins.


ben at work, he,s very fussy.

my cat meowza and the roof spoiler.

me n meowza cat, she,s 7.4kg , ouch, gets heavy after a while.

ben still getting things perfect.

rear roof spoiler nearly ready for 1 side of 2 piece mould.

more pictures.
1 flare nearly ready for mould making. had a few chips,

3 other flares ready for moulds making.

front spoiler repairs. still a long way to go before ready for mould.


the fiberglassing materials.



heavy duty heat drier for speeding up curing.

2 rolls of 300g chopped strand matt.

will post more pictures tomorow, there,s been lots of hours and fussyness going into these moulds so the finished products will be well worth the effort.
if its not perfect its not right. , they will be perfect tomorow then the moulds can be made,
