Default Updated wood plug

Here is a look at how I updated the front of the wood plug.



I mounted the plug back to the cnc machine and created a tool path of what I wanted.


Looking good.


Then I cut it down to the top of the buck. I then gave it a good sanding and it was ready for a test pull.


So it was time to heat up some PETG.


Almost ready.



Here is a look at the pull while it cools.


The front end looks good.


Here is the pull with the plug removed. Notice I also removed the lines in the windshield. It just needed a bit more sanding.


I pulled a second body to be sure the plug was good.


The fit is perfect.


Here I have cut the body before painting so I could check the fit.


Here are a few more images of the result of my efforts.


That looks pretty good to me.


Yep that will race!
