So I have been busy after work this week. The side skirts are taking shape. I used some form ply to create a flat floor to work from. I have spaced the floor 32mm down from the actual floor in order to get it to line up with the engine undertray. This means the skirts will be sitting slightly lower than the old ones, and will sit flatter.
The skirt itself has been formed by a combination of MDF, 0.6mm ally, expanding foam and bog. I am happy with the shape so have covered the lot in polyurethane gloss. I will recoat tonight, and get ready for a wet layup on the weekend.
The skirts will be skinned in a combination of Kevlar and carbon. Once they are cured, the skin will be removed and all the formers dismantled, and the skins then fixed to the car. This should leave me a nice light skirt that fits perfectly. I am not bothering with a mould, as I will not be making another set.
