- In this episode I thought it was a good idea to show you the method I use when making 3 piece fiberglass moulds for a set of front fenders.
Be sure to turn subtitles on so you don't miss all the added info.
This episode and the next one will be a little self contained mini series inside this Stagea build. These episodes should give you all the details you need to make most types of fiberglass moulds.

I like that it's just showing us how to do , and not a bunch of b-roll and talking to the camera .
Absolutely phenomenal! I've been moulding and casting for years (although in the prop making industry, where quick and dirty is the order of the day) and I have never seen such neat and meticulous work. TOW is a master craftsman. I learn so much from these videos. Much respect!
Thanks mate! There's always a time and place for quick and dirty moulds too, ones with packing tape repairs and where you just coat the thing in PVA and cross your fingers but I usually point the camera the other way for those ones haha.
Dang, baller in a beater doin fiber. Well done.
Best content on the internet....seriously. Even your mold is beautiful. Love it
Thanks bro I really appreciate that!
Perfect way to start the Sunday, excellent work 👍
Thanks for a new session of car healing therapy. OEM legit +😎💪
Attention to detail 🤯mind blowing 🤯✌🏻🏴
this car is gonna look sick when its done!
Yay this might finally mean the end of the "imagine using that much bog in a panel..." Etc comments from those who still haven't figured out it's all narrated via subtitles lol
Oh I reckon I'll still get those almost constantly even after this build is finished haha 😂
Imagine using this much fiberglass in a mould tho
너도 예이냐
Excellent craftsmanship! So enjoyable to watch the master.
While i was watching this video, i found i was saying WOW constantly at your meticulous work.. Was an absolute privilege to watch.
Master of your trade, no talking, Great camera work! 👌
when it all finally starts to pay off stage,,,,your work is next level my friend,,,thanks for sharing 👍
Very beautifull. What an amazing job!
8:00 the “SMOOTHN’T” part got me on tears 😂😂😂
GUIGUITOUCH !! La propreté OEM la ou ne l’attendait pas!
You're videos are so chill and awesome to watch. Love the process.
Sometimes I get so memorized by watching you work, I forget to read the captions! Which is really saying something, because I watch everything with captions
I'm blown away by your methods and attention to detail! I know a custom build is in my future and your channel has been an excellent resource for techniques and an efficient workflow. Thank you for all your hard work, and keep it up!
Dude, I cannot wait to see this finished. Love the videos, rock on.
Love these, get so many tips for my own projects.
The view out your shop door is amazing
Great job sir, I’ve dabbled with mold making and enjoyed watching someone else going through the process. Now to watch episode 2 👍
Incredible work as always. Skills unmatched 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks man. There's a tonne of other amazing channels out there, if you haven't already, check out Street Bandito and Easy Composites. Half of what I know I learned from those 2 channels alone. ✌
@@TofuAutoWorks street banditos are mint. Pretty famous over there for my NOHAIRS comments
You are the most precise builder on TH-cam buddy, impressive
С Владивостока привет крутой проект у вас 🔥
You are an amazing communicator! Explaining an entire process without saying a word!
Hard work pays off 😍
Hell yeah! Coming along nicely
Smooth, smooth’nt, smoothest. 👍
An absolute professional. I enjoyed watching every single part of the process.
What a fascinating process! Good work!! 👍
"Mmmmm... oranges" is the funniest way to call yourself out on orange peel ever! 🤣🤣🤣 🤘🤘🤘 This whole process is mesmerizing. Love it.
I wanted to argue with your flanges but it looks like they worked out great. That's some serious cardboard you've got there ;)
Haha, yeah a lot of trial and error. I've done coreflute, signboard, polycarb, tin, and even made my own flanges out of fiberglass before for some really tricky shapes, cardboard is surprisingly good if you're spraying a sealer over it.
@@TofuAutoWorks Awesome, I'll give it a try sometime, probably with a backing layer of csm just to be safe!
I’m speechless… The level of detail and quality of your work is awesome. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to put out these videos. I look forward to your future content and I’m sure others do as well! Much appreciated. 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much dude! 🙏
As an audio engineer, we always say half the mix is done during the recordings (1st stage). So what TOW is doing now means after casting it's straight prep for paint. There will be nothing to fill or correct. Best way, great job bro, love it. If it was possible I'd like you wing my car!
Very very meticulous job n workmanship
This is one of my favorite sculptures
Sanding fiberglass and blowing the dust everywhere in your shop while wearing a tank top is the most gangster sh!t I’ve seen all day.
Serious props on progress per video and your schedule. Just got back into editing and forgot the amount of mindless hours it can consume.
Great to watch a perfectionist with a vision, keep it goin!
Yeah editing is the bane of my life right now haha. I actually prefer sanding to editing videos all day 😂
Amazing work 👍🏻
I think we can call you the sandingman !! Incredible job !!👍
attention to detail is crazy, even marked down how many coats of release agent. I learned alot.
Painting and polishing cardboard :) nice
You gotta admit it looks good though, even if it is just a plug
You easily have 1000 times the patience I have, very happy watching the series you are meticulous and it will show at the end. Look forward to the next episode. What's next seeing as the miata roof seemed only weeks before you started this!
Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Germany
You are doing this step by step the right way !!! cant wait to see the end result !
Bird songs is so pretty😍
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this video. It was really fun and interesting to watch, and I learned lots. Clearly a lot of time goes into moulding even a single panel, particularly when it's done as meticulously as this!
Always looking forward to new episodes 🥰
Good info. Gonna help when I try n make my widebody kit for my sedan
That's what I like to hear mate. I'll have more videos specifically on making the widebody for this one as well so that should be pretty helpful too. 👍
Awesome. Your miata is how I found ya a while back was looking at some diy widebody stuff and it popped up. Definitely 2 amazing builds. A stagea is definitely a car I wish and hope to one day get but import cost to the states are so high.
It's getting better and better.
Thank you for letting us know what it takes to do this at all.
Loving your work man! As a guy who's done some of this stuff myself I can only admire your patience and attention to detail. Top stuff.
You should definetoy either sell the moulds after all this or make fenders periodically and sell those!
Just an idea…
I'll be selling the entire kit for this car when it's complete. I'm also looking at having them produced in the US for my international customers.
Agreed. Make a 'plug/ mould' from your originals and use some PVA or release agent to pop em off. 👍
this something I've been wanting to do on my car for ages, make a carbon fibre bonnet and front fenders
Love that you used real powder guide coat!
WHAT a CRAZY Job!!!!! Thank you very much for sharing your methods and your tricks!!!!
يعجبني هذا العمل التشكيل .. وإنتاج شي من لا شي 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 وشكرا لك على تعبك
3:58 some nice CAD work :D
bro this is so much work wtf
So much time and patience going into the mold’s and build, great to watch, its going to be sik when its completed
🇳🇴 I must say,youre å patent man. But then again,the result is gonna look better than great.
Wow that is awesome :)
this is amazing!
Ты крут. Твоему упорству только можно позавидовать👍👍👍.
Не знаю как у вас но у нас есть поговорка - Терпение и труд все перетрут.
Спасибо за видео и формативную информацию как и что делаешь.
P.s. Успехов тебе и терпения.
Как всегда великолепно.
ваще нормально
Awesome! What a crazy amount of work for this process! Excited to see it !
THAT is a lot of work! Cool to see the whole process!
Impressive work ! 👌
Not seen any of these videos in a while. Looking tasty!
Man, those birds in the background are loud! It’s the dead of winter up here and I’d nearly forgotten that birds exist.
Awesome work man... i love the attention to detail and your methods are superb! Looking forward to the second video!
Such good work, you made the flange look so easy!
1. Just seen NZ on TV here in the USA. They fined a British couple at the airport $400 for the banana🤯
2. Awesome video, I appreciated the subtitles
Masterclass!
Lovely work, sweet details!
I was expecting to see a ricer being a doofus. But that was top-shelf professional work.
Like deadbeat garage
次回も楽しみに待ってます👍
Great process, big thumbs up! 😉
Wow, I'd have fucked that up 5 times over. What an involved process! Awesome video
This is fascinating! Lots of work goes into to this.
J'adore ta méthode de travail !Le résultat est top...
Awesome video!
Just wow!
Great video! I'm planning to take a mold for my bonnet
Really cool
Fascinating as ever.
Excelente trabajó, eres un chingón, saludos desde México 🇲🇽👍
Одержимый! 👍
I tried once to fiberglass a little piece and that was a nightmare 🤣🤣(to do, and because the resin never wanted to turn in the solid state...😵💫 ) Your work is impressive !! A pleasure to watch !!! From France :D
Dude, this is awesome!!!
Amazing work, keep it up
If anyone ever looks at the price of a decent bodykit and thinks it’s outrageous, especially from a small company. They should watch your vids to truly appreciate the work and time that goes into making them, after all this is essentially the prep work stage of developing the kit and you’ve already invested so much time and effort.
In short when it comes to pricing up the complete kit don’t undervalue yourself.
Another brilliant, concise and informative video. 👏 thanks for the video. Ill be attempting to make completly one off body work for a motorcye im building towards the end of the year so i appreciatte the info.
Good luck!
@@TofuAutoWorks thankyou
So clean bro..nice
Awesome work, I need to make a lot of molds for a future project, have watched a lot of videos on the process. I really like the gap filler instead of body filler, much easier to work with. Bloody crazy how many hours goes into making a perfect part, and then the amount of hours to make a mold off that part.
Awesome bro
Sweet video
Just subscribed very impressive work. Look forward to seeing what you do next. 👍👌👌🇦🇺
dope video bro!
