I found this Ferrari 312P in my junk box left over from childhood. I believe it came to me mounted on a Dynamic floppy pan chassis so it’s being called a Dynamic body here. What I plan to do is convert it to look like a Kirby body, which I will call my “Kirby Kloneâ€! Hopefully I will be able to make a decent enough master with which to pull a few bodies.
The first step was to back pour the body with Alumilite casting rubber. Since the body was really cut down I had to place the body upside down and carefully build side dams all around to hold the rubber in place until it cured, which took about 24 hours.

Here we have a rubber “male†mold pulled directly out of the Dynamic body.

Then a “female†mold is produced. This is the piece I will pour resin into . . .

And here we have the raw resin master! Only a little cleanup and sanding was done just to square up the sides. Lots of bodywork needed to remove the headrest, carve panel lines, and drill air relief holes in recesses to pull the hot Lexan down into details. (Any and all suggestions are accepted, Ron, because now I am shooting from the hip.)

In the meantime, I have put together a collection of hardware for this build including the closest thing to Associated wheels I have which are actually Riggen.

Back to sanding . . .. 8)
