Thanks Chris. It was my first time molding in fiberglass. I'll be using the same method for the front end, when I get it fleshed in enough. I may even do the rear the same way. For anyone who is curious, I used styrofoam as a form. I covered this in a layer of aluminum foil fastened with aluminum tape. I found out the hard way that plastic wrap, even the industrial type, is not impermiable to fumes. My first form melted. I still have my second.
