You can mix your own high density foam. There various release agents. What the body kit guys do is the get the part to the shape they want on the car by adding and carving. Then make a mold of that. Then make the new part from that mold.

Actually when I was playing in the sand it was at the beach and I was "scultpting" a female sunbathing on the beach (was in college). I was not good enough to do hands, feet, or the head but the rest of the body I think I did well. A guy came up to me and asked if I was doing pornography when I was almost finished with the bust of the female. I said no I was doing a whole girl and I was an art student (graphic design is close enough). I used seaweed for the bathing suite. Right after he was satisfied I was not trying to be pornographic he went back to his area and his kid (probably like 8 to 10) was like "nice tits!" I just laughed and kept doing my work.

Ya I'd hate to have a professional artist help form the body. 
You didn't call this weekend Benny, I waited up all night by the phone and everything. If you want to buy the foam and have some stuff ready, we can actually get this bitch rolling when we do get together. Depending on how cheap the foam is, I may want to use it for the front bumper too. Also, don't know much about foam, but from what I've read, laytex foam would be preferable to urethane foam.

Don't you read every single post on this project! If so, you would have known tat Ron was unavailable on Saturday. The next two Saturdays are out for me. Probably it'll wait til it comes back to me in a couple/few weeks. Then you, me, Adam and my brother can discuss method, technique and design and form a game plan. My brother has studied some of this molding stuff in industrial design and is eager to try it out in a real world application.

All right, if you can handle commiting to that week, I'll even plan to take it as vacation. In the meantime I'll push ahead on as many other fronts as I can. Maybe by the end of that week we can have something ready to drop and fire.

I never claimed to be a professional artist.
