Large scale fiberglass project

[QUOTE=geepherder]I can't tell you from experience, because I've only made fenders and a header panel, and that was a challenge to get it right.  Yeah, you're probably best off to incorperate some kind of support structure on the inside.  I probably wouldn't use wood inside a body panel, maybe some steel in critical (weaker) areas.  Remember, curves are strong, flat pieces are weaker.  If you can add some supports inside, you may be able to lay glass over the top to create some curves, thus giving a lot more strength.  I know that well built fiberglass hoods use some steel panels at the critical areas, like mounting points and latches.  It'd be wise to do the same.  Man, I wish I'd have seen that special on Speed.  Here's an article I found on carbon fiber hoods- it should help you out: http://www.superstreetonline.com/techarticles/54702/.[/QUOTE]

As far as like putting small thing sheets of aluminum orsomething laminated between the layers of glass? THats a good idea, I think I will do it at the hinges and hood pin areas.
