| Now for the Plastic Surgery |
| After 3 months of working on the heart and skeleton of the beast, it is time to focus on the skin. Algonquin College agreed to prepare the body for us as so it was shipped over to the Woodroffe campus. Under the guidance of Andre and Steve, the students used the knowledge and tools given to them it the various body shop programs offered in the new Automotive Training Facility to convert a raw fibreglass body into a smooth, gleaming piece of art. |
| The body comes from Eva Sportscars with a coating that can be primed and painted. However there are always imperfections that should be dealt with before finishing the job. |
| After an initial sanding to remove obvious rough spots, the body is shot with a special thick coat of primer. This allows them to block sand and quickly identify high and low spots. |
| The scoop was molded into the hood. Eventually, we will cut out the hole in the hood to allow for a ram air set-up. |
| After multiple sandings, fillings, and primer coats, the body was ready to go to the paint booth Although this process takes only one page in this scrapbook, it almost 4 months to complete. The students and professors worked around class schedules to fit this project in. Although it did take a while, the end result will be worth it. |
