well thanks for all the compliments everyone. I haven't updated lately because I finally got a job and they are workin me about 60 hours a week. So I don't really have time to do much else except relax... but it pays pretty good so I will have funding to continue the project no problem. Once overtime dies down I should have some updated pix for ya. Prolly in about a week I should get 2 days off.
fiberglass reminds me of peanut brittle... but fiberglass tastes better!

still kinda tryin to decide... if I am gonna wrap them I am about done with sandin hehe. That's a huge plus. I was thinkin about going gloss black... right now my car is pretty much stock. I have done a custom headliner, but I am willing to redo it. It is black vinyl right now. I don't know really I am still thinking it over

Thin resin with styrene...Works great at wicking through mat or cloth

I thought styrene was foam?
Also I think i have decided to wrap these in white vinyl. I have some swatches coming in I will post pictures of whenever they get here and I'll want everyone's opinions.

I don't know what playr is talking about with the styrene and fiberglass but styrene is just another plastic.
When they take styrene and inject it with pentane gas bubbles they make styrofoam...is that what you're thinking of sprawl?

Ummm I didn't know they use pentane gas... or that styrofoam was just another kind of plastic with bubbles in it, but now that I think about it that makes a lot of sense. I think i kinda just put two and two together in my head and though.... styrene / styrofoam and then kinda figured they came from the same thing or somethin. I dunno, sometimes I just make doodie up too.

Hey I just got my swatches in and I think I am going to go ahead and go with the bright white vinyl. I dunno there is just something that gets me off about something that bright and clean and smooth and sexy and caressable... well you get my point. here are some pictures of it. It was hard to get how white it is to come out right in the picture. I put it next to an offwhite swatch I got in the last picture and you can tell. I tried different settings on the camera too.

and this is how many we caught. All of them over 8 inches or else we throw them back. Lots of good eatin there. Either me or my wife caught this many like 4 days in a row. Our freezer is stuffed with lots of tasty fishes.

EDIT 1:
I GOTS MY VINYL!
I just want to take a moment to recommend denverfabrics.com to everyone for vinyl/suede/other fabric projects. I have ordered from them twice now and each time they have shipped within the next day and have had a superior quality product. I dont know if anyone else has ordered from them before, but they should!    Here is a linky if anyone wants to check them out. They give you two extra inches for every yard you order, they only charge like 2 bucks for every swatch and then they give you 2 bucks off your order. They are just really customer oriented and a pleasure to do business with. And their prices are unbeatable.
Here is what they gave me! Click on them for bigger pics.
