Installing shark teeth

Here are the 15 replacement teeth. Smoothed with body puddy painted and ready to go.

The teeth are in four sets of 6 teeth each. This was a temporary attachment to work out the placement and balance of the teeth for looks.


Each tooth was held in place with a couple of sheetmetal screws for this test. 


Satisfied with the look the teeth they will now be removed and the jaws ground smooth to make for a good contact surface between each tooth and the Liquid Nails adhesive that will be used to glue them in place. Then several screws will be used to mechanically secure each tooth. Next a layer of fiberglass cloth and resin will be applied to cover the screws and smooth the transition of tooth to jaw. A bit of body puddy will be used to smooth everything over and then a final paint job to make the Jaws camera ready. Things are looking good.
