Just did a search on this "mercury mistress" you speak of and all I have to say is...

 

 

................W T F?

 

I'm not even going to ask how you came across that *shakes head continuously*

[Tiger]

Work email.... and your expression was the same as mine! hahahaha

 

Oh look... 3000 posts for me! Damn, I whore well on these forums.

 

Now... you were saying? :(

[Paul]

So John, can Teddy, Biggo, mine and the other early 80's works of art on this site convert you? Or you stayin old school :(

[Tiger]

Check out the audio thread with Sidewinder's enquiry on "New 6x9s, No Midbass :(" thread :D You'd be in for a surprise! hahaha

Todays Update...

 

Viewed from above, the straight foam doesn't line up with the curved shape of the boot

 

So I traced the shape on to the unused edge of my cardboard piece to make a template to trace on to the foam, traced on to the rear edge of the wing then measured distance between previously traced line and template for parallel at both ends, to make sure depths were the same size so the front edge matches the rear egde of the wing. These lines are on the bottom of the wing so I could cut it on the bandsaw with the convex arc down.:(

 

 

So once cut it lines up with the lines of the boot

 

But was still too long so i put 4 marks on the wing at the front and rear edges of the wing to line up with the boot.

 

Then traced the straight lines between the marks getting it ready to be cut

 

Once the ends were cut it lined up flush with the ends of the boot as well as everywhere else

 

And then sat the ends under to have a better idea of how it's coming along:eek:

 

That is all for now...

 

Any comments invited.

[Biggo]

hmm, methinks it needs shaping :(

 

dude, you remind me to make a mould of my spirit wing....only i cbf heh.

 

Good work on a bugdet tho. I'm earning a lil but i still flog shit from work and pilfer from bins :D

[Paul]

Yeah Biggo, shaping is the next step. Want to make sure the ends are right first. Researching wing profiles as we speak, to determine the shape I have to carve. Once it comes along a bit further and my ends are shaped correctly and attatched I will be "paper mache" coating it then using body filler for more shape.

[Paul]

So I've basically gotta turn the top pic into the bottom one:P

 

[Paul]

Further Photoshop jobs confirm I truely am insane :D :(

 

[Beserker99]

Hehe, daymn. That would look pretty cool if ya had a jblood style front bar on it :(

 

Good progess. I'm keeping an eye on this thread. Very inspirational.

[Paul]

Coming along nicely

 

Shape is into the wing now, and didn't take long at all on the bandsaw either.

 

 

 

Now to do more work on the ends.

[Rolla__Boy]
