He might be making the fiberglass shell that will hold and reinforce the silicon mold together when he pours in the plastic so that the mold doesn't shift or warp.

...but I could be wrong.

so he keeps telling me. I'm thinking maybe the fibreglass in the pics is the mold.

Sure looks to me like he's already made a black mold underneath and is showing a skid plate in the making using a fiberglass process

Clockwork maybe on your next update could you kindly confirm in writing from Rick about the details? I don't doubt that he did say he is making them out of ABS plastic, but I did notice on M5board he sells a lot of fiberglass work too...

Clockwork 05-29-2014 05:59 PM

RB, I'll get a comment from him. I do know when he and I spoke I told him it can NOT be made of fibreglass and even he recommended the abs plastic material and has since not said anything otherwise.
I'll get confirmation though.

Ricky Bobby 05-29-2014 07:45 PM

Then I'm not too worried if that's what was said.

It is probably all part of the process since I know zero about molding plastic parts

hello all

Just came across this thread and really lovin the product. Is it too late to purchase a skid plate??

Clockwork 06-05-2014 04:49 PM

no its not.
Please send me your paypal e-mail address (so Slimmbones can send you an invoice for half of the cost), and your name, in a private message.
Rick is building them now.
I assume you read the first post and understand the charges being invoiced?

So I got confirm today from Rick.
here is his statement
No fiberglass it would take me a lot longer because I could only make one a day if fiberglass

makes sense and since he is looking to make many, his time is limited.
He will update me more with timeline on the weekend
