Well after having some trouble on my first sides I was able to get another set and bend it. If some of your remember I had a small crack in one of the sides and had to fix it with CA (thanks for the great advice). I was concerned that once I put heat on the sides that the fixed crack would split. Not the case...it worked great. Here is a picture of the sides in the mold...what a great feeling.



Hopefully this weekend I will get to trim the sides and glue in the tail block.

Thanks for everyones help!

Been there done that. Definately do a trial run with those spreaders cause you don't want to go there
