Is it possible to cut and insert this type form in a case skun fox or am i better off sewing up the origional insision and opening up the belly?
His legs are open from the knees to the pads.

(As i look at it i cant see a way to do it - but if i dont ask i wont know - lol.)

Sure you cut the form. Cut the legs off on an angle, or I should say a wedge cut, so they fit back into the form. Then put some bondo on the form and insert it into your skin. Put your legs back into the wedge, and hold until the bondo sets. You can also insert a couple of small wire into this before the bondo set. Push the wire in so it's through the skin and into the form.

So you hold the legs there while the bondo is setting up - from the outside. (once you have the skin in place?)

Ok - i was thinking i had to have the skin out of the way to make sure everything was square, hence my confusion.
Thanks. ;-)


Dorsal is easyer!
