Rometsch Spyder replica build

[ronalddejong]

Made the fully flush and lowered floor in the car. According to Dutch IVA steel floors. After painting I will glue alu panels on top of the steel. Just like the real thing.

Little racing pilots back in 1954 .....

Made the seat brackets in the car.
Nearly in drivable condition. For forming the inner mould it is handy to drive the out of my workshop. Sanding the plaster is a disaster inside.

Love the seat but not sure of that crash helmet

Interesting stuff this bit of the build, giving me some ideas. What wood are you using for the strips, looks like hardboard???

[ronalddejong]

Yes, I am using hardboard (raw side outside so the plaster/glue sticks well) for the strips. After the hardboard sand it smooth, and primer it before putting the plaster on. But you wil see all steps...
