Yeah he said he likes to carve it up in foam first because it's easy to do and easy to carve up, and if you make a mistake it's easy to just add more foam. Then he uses something to make a mold out of that and then uses that to make a final mold for the part. (if i understand his process correct)

When deals pop up, I take them. Especially if I can plan in advance. I needed some winter wheels for the 911, just happens that early 944 rims are the same offset and will in fact fit. These wheels happened to have hoosier racing slicks on them, the bbs wheels are the same size... meaning I can put them on the bbs wheels and put snow tires on the phone dial rims.
WHY? BECAUSE RACE CAR!
Why Hoosier racing slicks on phone dials? BECAUSE RACE CAR!
