Voodoo Magic: Jerry Gardner's Voodoo Special

21 Shaping The Plaster In the picture below (Jerry Gardner is in the photo and about 21 years old) you can see the surface take shape with Plaster of Paris which appears white in color. This was sanded smooth and then fiberglass applied directly to the buck to make the body. Once the fiberglass was laid on the buck and cures, the body has to be sanded smooth to create a paintable surface. Then the buck underneath is removed (sometimes destroyed) to free the body. Photos are from 1955 - 1956. The fiberglass body that resulted from this process is shown in brown color on the facing page. Jerry Gardner with his Voodoo—a Work in Progress
