hockeypux19,
no offense...but please dont insult me with 3-letter words like "cnc".
jk- cnc is fine for you young'ems.
I can unequivocally make this statement:
ABSOLUTELY, no cnc have been used on ANY of my molds to make my lids. cnc requires CAD or other software to setup. Sorry, but I'm not a propellerhead and frankly, I dont have the time of day to figure out software design when my hands and hand tools can do the job better, but not necessarily so fast. This is a hobby for me, not a race....
All done by hand with a couple of homeRmade jigs setup to get the proper square cuts.
I use drawings and sketches and scale down to fit the actual chassis....nothing else....old school methodology.
This material is 'renshape' - expensive but easy to work with - I just started using this stuff. This is the 2nd mold using this material.
btw, NOTE: The fender flares were added on as separate pieces since I couldnt figure out how to get it done as part of the main block...
