I have been lucky enough to be involved in the restoration of a BRM P154 Can-Am car as raced by Pedro Rodriguez in the last 3 races of the 1970 season.
There was no bodywork with the car but the customer has some of the original moulds, however they have been stored outside since the late 70's and are in a pretty poor state. I have been restoring/replacing the moulds and today I pulled the two doors. Pretty happy with the results given the condition of the moulds. So now it's on to the big bits, nose section next.

That will look pretty cool when done!! I see what you meant by the moulds having "festered" a bit long outside!!

I hope so Smile It was one of those jobs that kept screaming " don't get involved this could be a nightmare" but in the end I just couldn't miss the opportunity to get involved. These kinds of jobs don't come around very often, if at all. Ask me again in a few weeks and I may give a different answer w00t Either that or I will be sat in a corner of the workshop a blubbering wreck Smile
