Here's a pic of a seat I'm building using the same methods I posted a couple of weeks ago on the forum a few more coats and a lot of sanding and it will be ready for paint,light and blinkers.

Here's a photo of the mold after use, it can be used several times. Sides and pan made out of 1/8 plywood, top made out of plexi,inside lined with that aluminum tape and coated with turtle wax 3 times. Thanks for the comment I appreciate it.

Here's a shot with the plexi, just tape it on and put a heat gun to it, it slowly comes down to meet the sides for a nice fit.
