[QUOTE="MagicMtnDan, post: 91242, member: 2768"] The next step is to create paper patterns using the painters paper. I cut a large sheet of paper from the roll (larger than the area I was working on) and then taped it to a clean Raptor using the Blue Painters tape. I pressed the paper to the Raptor's skin and taped it down around the edges to hold it in place and keep it from moving. I used the rounded end of the Sharpie marker to trace the area on the paper. This enabled me to mark the fender outlines, door edges, gap between the cab and bed, etc. Once I traced these body features with the end of the Sharpie I then used the Sharpie marker to draw these cut lines on the paper creating a pattern. [ATTACH=full]179480[/ATTACH] I cut the paper pattern and rehung it to check the size [ATTACH=full]179481[/ATTACH] A lot of checking and double-checking was involved. The paper patterns need to be cut to size and checked to the Raptor by taping it back on. [ATTACH=full]179482[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
