7 coats of wax on the mold. I also picked up some PVA I'm going to try to apply with a spray bottle as I don't have a spray gun. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be laying fiberglass. The plan is for at least two layers of mat with another layer in the corners and flanges for support.
In between coats of wax I've been busy grinding down the remains of the brackets on the oil cooler support. The radiator/oil cooler inlet is as free of obstructions as I can possibly make it with the stock setup:
And in order to deal with the no hood latch thing my Aerocatch hood pins came in a whole 5 days ahead of schedule:
I'm waiting on some 2.5" SS flanges for the exhaust and then the car gets taken to a local shop to have to exhaust fabbed up. I'm going to have to deal with crush-bent pipe for a little while since no one around here has a mandrel bender. Diameter reduction shouldn't be too bad as I'm trying to keep the bends to 15 degrees or less. I also need to remember to install the aluminum driveshaft and rear swaybar to avoid and potential surprises when putting the car back together.
