The three molds for the MTD café racer are finished! The glass fiber molds have been made following the hand lay-up glass fiber laminating. Over the HD PU plugs; which are the CNC milled positive parts of the final motorcycle body.
The plugs have been sanded super smoothly and finished with a clear coat. On top of this coat 7 layers of mold release wax have been added.
All the layers and patterns for all the glass fiber fabrics have been cut with care, and fitted on the plugs before adding the polyester resin. After which the laminating started, merging the fibers with the resin over the plugs.
After the polyester completely hardened the rough edges of the molds have been trimmed, releasing wedges were slammed between the molds and the plugs,… and finally air pressure and two large chisels released the molds from the plugs!
Now these molds will be bolted together for construct the large mold in which the body kit will be made. Keep in touch for more footage..
The first body kit of the custom MTD Ducati café racer will soon be made. If you have interest in this body kit send an email to info@maartentimmer.com
