Bob, this sounds like a great way to cast parts in detail. Is the product for the part the same as rigid polyurethane foam? If you used it for rifle stocks, it must be pretty durable.
QUOTE(burton73 @ Jan 17 2009, 07:42 PM)  Hi, I have a factory LE spoiler on my 76 car that came from the factory with it. It had a small amount of damage on a corner so I bought a copy to put on till I get around to fixing it. The copy that you show is a good copy as copies go but it is a copy. My wife could not tell. As I have been in the plastic biz for 34 years and 3-d molding of polyesters as one of my specialties over the years I have thought on this. The factory part could have been cast under vacuum or pressure. When you close up a part that big the tooling starts to cost a lot compared to fiberglass layup tooling. The precision that you get is dead nuts on but cost a lot. Please excuse my spelling as am in Hong Kong now at the airport going to my factory in China to celebrate the New Year. I do not do this work now. I have done work before making special 2 part hard urethane foam material for rifiel stocks in closed molds made of filled urathane. You bolt the two parts of the mold after you wax it and pour the expanding foam material. If fills up the mold and builds pressure giving you a primo 3-d part. You just need to experiment on how much material to put in so you do not over fill it. Some foam expand 2 to 1, 3 to 1 so on. You need to Ck with the supplier. Bob |

I you are talking about the 914/4 M471, then this should be the correct spoiler.
I wonder what the ZPW part looks like. |

QUOTE(Jeff Bowlsby @ Jan 18 2009, 06:01 AM) Ahhh, is this the same company? Jeff, the spoiler was a "Karrousel" item that I got from Automotion back in the '70s. Here's an old pic (pre-resto) showing the backside. Paul Attached image(s)
