Hi,

I'd like to make a mould of some fibreglass racing car parts, in particular the side pods of a single seater.  The original parts are flex so I'm concerned that if I make a mould then it might not be straight.

I have loads of spares so I don't mind if I have to sacrifice a piece and I was originally thinking of fitting the part to the car and then creating a wood frame to attach to the part.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
