I’ve been really busy lately and I feel the need to take a break, at least long enough to make a blog entry. I’m working on a 08 charger for New York Jets player Darrelle Revis. The basic concept on the install is for a sports car look, no pun intended. I’m using the basic factory dash, but adding fiberglass molded top trim pieces around the gage cluster and across the passenger dash that will totally change the car's look. I’m changing the vents from the original square vents to a more retro muscle car round vent. To be honest, I think that Chrysler was trying to hard to please everyone by using large square vents that belongs in a truck or a Hummer, not a performance car. I made a carved Jet’s logo and a “24” (Darrells’s number), and one with his team nickname, Rell Rev. I just finished making castings in resin that are now primed and ready for a tinted chrome finish. I’ll post pictures of the chromed pieces in a few days when I get a chance to do them.
This is how they start out, carved in a plaster and wood fiber mix that I make; it’s a bit softer than plaster and easier to carve. From this I make a fiberglass, latex, or urethane mold that I can use to make the finished reinforced casting resin piece.
I started the door grills with wood and putty, and then molded the casting resin finished pieces that are shown here with a black primer finish.
I also cast custom grills for the three JL 12’s. I used a different technique for these because I wanted a kind of evil look, almost like veins on the Celtic flame design. This is the original sculpted mock I did in non-hardening clay from which a fiberglass mold was made. The small football shaped Jet’s and 24 pieces will be mounted in the center of the woofer grills after I chrome them.
