SkyPilot Posted January 11, 2014 Report Posted January 11, 2014 Just go all out and get the factory to put in one of their fancy interiors. What is $20K between friends? Can they do that? I have quotes of $12,000 t0 $14,000 for some of the other folks. But dang they have some nice interior work available. Quote
JoeM Posted June 25, 2014 Report Posted June 25, 2014 I am in the middle of repairing my 79 plastic panels and they are a challenge. This forum has been very helpful. A few questions: 1. What product did you guys use to fill low spots and gouges in the plastic after the PVC/Fiberglass repairs were done? 2. Does Fumor work for filling small holes as well as large areas of missing plastic? Which product number did you use? I tried Urethane Supply's 2020 Hardset Filler but had difficulty with it. I don't mind mixing two tubes like Fumor. Thanks, Joe M Quote
jetdriven Posted June 25, 2014 Report Posted June 25, 2014 I just fooled with some more plastic panel repair and have abandoned the ABS pipe glue and fiberglass idea. I have switched to MGS epoxy and 8oz 7781 fiberglass cloth. This epoxy is very strong, many times stronger than hardware store epoxy. It's also very thin so you simply wet the glass out until clear, it takes very little. When I redid the door panel, i reformed, straightened if you will, all the deformed areas with a heat gun. then I sanded a 1" circle around every screw hole and backed them all with 2 layers of glass and epoxy then redriled the holes. I also remade the clip holes where the armrest snaps in. Then I did 3 layers of glass inside the armrest molding on the backside of the pilots sidewall panel and the door panel. You can actually put weight in it without breaking it. Finished up with SEM color coat 15103 super white. Quote
JoeM Posted June 25, 2014 Report Posted June 25, 2014 Byron, I used SEM 15103 as well. What did you use on the front of the panel to even out low spots and/or fill cracks? Quote
jetdriven Posted June 25, 2014 Report Posted June 25, 2014 MGS is so thin you let it gel a bit then apply it to fill the crack. It levels out and fills the crack. When that's done paint it and it's invisible. You can also use abs shavings dissolved in mek. It forms a paste. Quote
