lol no I'm trying to make the frame so that when I lay the fleece material over it and resin it will work.

NoRiceInside

Nah I ditched that, now I'm using a really hot soldering iron to burn the plastic away and make room for the new frame that I made for the screen.

This keeps getting more and more strange.

lol well the next step is to coat the t-shirt in resin, which will make it good and hard. Then I fiberglass over the resined t-shirt to make it stronger, and lightly tweak the shape so it looks a little more appealing. Then filler/bondo, the topcoat putty or whatever (I'm no expert on this process lol), and paint. Of course sanding through each step..

looks like you have rats...?

meissen

lol yeah, it's a big rat called a soldering iron. Easiest way I found to cut that plastic was to just burn through it.

Well, for anyone that is afraid to fiberglass: DON'T BE! It's so friggen easy, one thing tho is be careful of the fumes... that's why I'm posting these pictures because I'm feelin like im gonna puke, doing this in my closed garage. Anyway, I did a layer of plain resin over the tshirt to make it somewhat stiff, and started doing the fiberglassing. This **** dries so quick and pretty strong for only one coat.. anyway, here's the pictures so far...
