I have been wanting to make some new interior parts for the 69 -70 sports roof . The rear fold down fiberglass panels i already have ,i found a nearly perfect set to make my molds . This is the first set ,but the next sets will be in black . the first trick was to find somthing to re texture panels ,i found a texture paint at home depot and its a very close match to original .

Now ,i always wanted to make the two small trim pieces at the top of the non folding back seat ,i had two but they were scuffed and painted a couple of times . So i sanded them and retextured them ,now i can make molds from them ,i am planning on a two sided mold so they will be smooth on the back and textured on the front just like original . I retextured the pieces ,they are so small i will probably have to glue them to a block just to make the outer part of the mold .

I retextured the large panels ,three coats holding the can about a foot away from the panels allowing each coat to dry before the next . The paint needs to cure atleast 3 days ,then it is pretty hard to scuff .i have these molds already but they have some smooth spots in them so i am going to take my original panels and retexture and make new molds

I started the molds for the two smaller top trim pieces for the 69 70 non fold down seat . Both pieces will be made in the same mold and cut apart once removed from the mold . Sprayed white gel coat on the two pieces ,this will be the top ,once the top is finished i will flip it over with the two pieces still inside and make the bottom part of the mold ,the new trim pieces will be black

First set out of the mold . A couple of very tiny flaws but i now what needs to be done to stop that .

They are so small it is hard to trim them so i have to be very careful but it looks like they will be a nice piece
