RE: Headlights for 89 It depends on how you plan to use it. That's the same kind of foam I am using. I will have to find headlights for mine too. Last Edited by Tim: 11/11/2005 11:34:16 AM |

RE: Headlights for 89 I'm not very familiar with the sandwich method, but with polystyrene foam you have to either use a barrier like Kilz or use epoxy resin. I don't know how using a barrier will effect the sandwich method. Don't forget to make room for the headlights! Last Edited by Tim: 11/11/2005 11:33:41 AM |

RE: Headlights for 89 Definately do a test piece first... before you build the part for the headlights. Last Edited by Tim: 11/11/2005 11:33:04 AM |

RE: Headlights for 89 Polystyrene will melt right away, but polyurethane works like a champ. More expensive, but it saves a step and some work on your part. ------------------------ For more information on replica Batmobiles and "kits", check out www.thebatcave8k.com

RE: Headlights for 89 These are 2 honda civics. This 1 is an 88 civic and the headlights are very close 
This is an 87 Civic and the lights are way off 
I'm thinking the 88 civic lights.

RE: Headlights for 89 Just a thought, polystyrene foam ( Amofoam- from home depot works if you shellac it after you initially sand and form it to the shape desired, then you apply a coat of Bondo and finish the part off. I believe after that if you want to make a plug or copy the shape with fiberglass ,the polystyrene foam which is covered with shellac and bondo will not melt.But you have to go with shellac/bondo/ then fiberglass. The shellac helps the bondo bond to the foam and also creates a barrier of protection.This is the way I Fabricated alot of parts,ex: Side skirts and running boards for an 87 5.0 stang. ********************** |

RE: Headlights for 89 I've never tried the shellac but I have used Kilz paint. It's a stain barrier primer. I'll try the shellac next time. |
