so some new pics of the fabrication which came to an end - some things still needs to be sorted and primer sanded downwith up to 2000 gritt water sand paper...
heres pics of progress I did over the weekend: FOCAL logo was incorporated on top of the pillar. First I deleted AIR-BAG badge which will be replaced with black plexy FOCAL logo that will cover/hide pillars fastening screw on top of pillar.
Keeping both would look odd

F Logos were positioned and temporary glued down with hot plastics on few spots, just to hold them in place

yesterday I did two little "plugs that will be attached to F logo and will hold it in place.
Did two quick molds

Then I used this two part polymere material, mixed it and cast it into molds,...it hardened in a few minutes, then both parts were removed from the molds. Sanded them down did a test fit and they are ready to be used.....

Words can't describe. Your work is amazing
Re: Mercedes C AMG 63 - Focal Utopia MW 3,5 pillars mde by LBaudio
I love your work. This has me thinking...I'm building a car for next year. Right now it's in bodywork and paint.
Stycker...you should see some of his older work. I think it was a Peugot? IIRC he had ported enclosures in the doors and ran a tube through his pillars/sails for the window defroster. They were pretty involved! lol
