Default Oh No!........>

Please, not a mold of a mold....:-)

On reinforcing just take it off and start laminating in pieces. Scored and scrimmed Balsa would conform easily to the contours and make it very strong...(cored sandwich construction)

Default Ok that sounds real good with the balsa

easier to work with then metal. Someone already backed into it and cracked it right by the grille, so I needed to repair that and at the same time give it some strength- just want it to have some strength or flex like the OEM has.

Also thinking I might go and buy a used 1.8 front to use in the winter. The GT2 is going to be great for 3 season, especially since I am having 2 large side mount IC's built to fill the areas, then doing the oil cooler in the center, should help the radiator too.

My GT2 though fits perfectly now though since it has been modified- thank GOD I know the shop owner well, cause that could have been VERY costly as you know That is why they were thinking of using mine for a mold since it slides right on and off- plus uses the OEM mounting pieces now- had them build them in when modifying it. But I am not going that route so no more molds of molds of molds
