Ozgur, am I doing something wrong with the model? I downloaded the edrawings viewer. There is not much to see in the model. It looks like a top down view of the 427, white lines on a black background.

That is AMAZING! Are the strips plywood? How important was it to get all the surfaces "rounded" so to speak? Did you use "filler"?

yes strips are made from plywood (20mm thickness)
sanding and little filler used for preparation of body

Oz,
The Autodesk viewer worked much better... could see the shell just fine... I am not seeing any slices... is that something I have to do?
I have a friend who has autocad... can he do this for me with your dfx file?
How finely sliced should it be? How does one know they have done the slices fine enough (without overdoing it)?
Mike

Oz,
How do you get the glass body off of the buck? And cut the hood and trunk?
Do you build separate trunk and hood lids?
(sorry for all the questions, hope I am not burdening you!)

G'day Mike,
It's very simple task to create sections (every 200mm) from sub-polygon mesh (then using 2D NURBS curves to refine sections) using ordinary CAD application since DXF (Data eXchange Format) format more or less capable to carry basic 2D/3D line, polyline and sub-polygon mesh data.
Regards,
Ozgur @ Istanbul

I'll follow typical process for mold
just google "how to make fiberglass molds"
e.g. this one
I've got mainly two alternative for doors, trunk and hood
* Carbonfiber as bodyshell
* Aluminum
Just read previous pages of this tread

Beautiful Ozgur! Now I wait in anticipation of seeing it mocked up in place on the buck. Post some side profile shots too, if you can. This documentation of your work in this thread is inspiring.

No, you didn't miss it.
100% of this thread about scratch built bodyshell.
I'm planning backbone chassis, if I didn't change my mind.

Thumbs up!!
It's a good look, Oz! Be careful - you may start getting requests to put it into production.
Looking at the profile shot, it remindes me a bit of the hardtop assembly that the British replica manufacturer Gardner Douglass (sp?) used to offer. The gullwing doors were incorporated into the top assembly and the whole thing could be installed or removed relatively easily. It didn't incorporate the windshield and frame like yours does though.
My wife Pauline will be passing through your neck of the woods in july/august as part of a trip and Greek Isles cruise with her family - I should get her to stop by and take some pictures of your project!

Ozgur,
If you could put a price on that buck, (not including labor, just materials), how much would ya say?
Another thing, you had mentioned an epoxy block with 5 axis CNC. Does that cost more to do (leaving the CNC machine out of it)?
I am amazed at your skills!
Mike

Correction - The GD hardtop includes gullwing windows, not the whole door, and it appears to also incorporate the windshield frame like your top. Pictures are difficult to come by but you can see it here:
www.gdcars.com/assets/brochures/Mk3.pdf
Its quite likely you are already familiar with Gardner Douglas (correct spelling) but if not, check out their website - you may find their backbone chassis and body mounting system interesting.

I know Gardner Douglas.
I'm not fan of 427 anymore although their body shape is more like as AC 289 sports Mk3.
I prefer fastback instead of regular shaped hardtop.
Gullwing is practical solution, but look funny to me.

I don't really care for the GD shape either, but I do find their chassis intriguing.
