| It is now time to prep the body. We connected with the Automotive Technology Program at Algonquin College to take care of this part. The body was shipped over to the Woodroffe campus. Under the guidance of professors Andre and Steve, the Algonquin students used the knowledge and tools given to them in 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. |
| First 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 many coats of primers and repeated sandings, the body was ready to go to the paint booth. 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. |
