Mold completed

The past few days have been very inspiring for the team. On Friday night, AJ, Mitch, Joel, Nathan, Byron, and myself worked on completing the mold. The plywood supports were attached to the mold. We then proceeded to add the final layer of fiberglass to the mold. The work continued until 4am and a heartfelt thanks goes out to those who stayed to help.

Tonight the team made another great advance. The mold was taken down from the table, and inverted. We then began attempting to separate the edge of the mold from the foam. Once the edge was loosened, we attached air lines to the plug and it separated from the mold. The mold needs a little work, but it definitely exceeds our expectations. I finished the night by trimming the outside edge of the mold to give us a good edge to seal to when we begin building the body next week.
