For my plugs, I started using renshape just over a year ago. Prior to that I was using clay to make my originals.

clay!! how the h*** did you do that, i mean to get the mould equal on both sides

I use 2D pictures that i fit in width and wheelbase
like this one for ex

Years ago, I used to sculpt life sized objects. I also have an industrial design background from my school years.
I also use 2D profile photos, steels and tools of the trade to cut and shape. Similar to how auto designers build up their protodesigns.

You can now use laser scanners ($$$) and cnc to produce these body plugs, but then that takes away from the joy of the process.

Ok this is how i use to do, i usually cut the moulds upp in several pieces, it´s easier to get bouth sides the same and to get the lexan of the mould if you make deep airvents in the sides of the mould this is a mini-z mould (toyota GT one) without any detailwork made to it yet

looks like you have a nice workshop.
You should consider making 1/12 & 1/10th scale lids.
I'm working a few myself for my collection - when I find a moment in life's busy schedule.
