where to start to learn fiberglass?

I am wondering what you guys would suggest as a good starting place to learn fiberglass.  I want to get into custom car work but am only 17 so i can't get a job at stereo shop until i'm 18 for insurance reasons.  As a result i learn on my own dime and was wondering what small projects would be good to start with to get a good experience of FG. 

thanks for the help.

Thanks for the idea's.  Do you have any more pictures of your eclipse? i am going to be gettin one for graduation buying it off my neighbor and he has already done quite a bit so for $5300 i figure its a good price http://car.lutronx.com.  It's a big upgrade from the 1986 honda civic i am working with now. (but can't complain had some fun beating out and working on a 300$ car.  anyway was just looking for some pictures and maybe idea's that would be fun and challenging but not over a novice's limit to try. 

Thanks again.

also picture of a niiiiiice eclipse.

sounds like a good idea.  glad you suggested it though because my next idea would have probably been to try something to small for my own good. 

my favorite part about that eclipse is mainly the paint job.  better picture of paint job here.

Also, how much harder is it to get an exact measurement of volume in a FG box sinze there are generally curves and you are not just measuring length width and depth?

I agree with all of the above ideas and inputs Mr. carstereonewb, but, I like to subject people of your age that show up at my shop with a "Full-On-Experience" approach.  A kid (15yrs.) brought his (someday) 1985 Chevy Silverado in and wanted me to do some small jobs when I had time.  He didnt have the full time cash to keep my interests, I had to turn the job(s) down over and over.  I decided to not take the "feel bad" approach for the youngster, instead, I put his butt to work on his own truck with him using his own money with only my guidance.    So, here we go.  It initially scared him when I told him to REMOVE THE INTERIOR!  But, with my 5-10 minutes here and there, we/he made good progress.  I didnt interfere much at all.  Custom door panels, half of the original dash + fabrication, removed factory seats-installed recovered buckets, fabricated his own one-off center console which was adjoined with the overhead console(one piece)! ......on his own, at 15.  Like I told this kid, and like NOTALENTKUSTOMS said....PLAN!!!!  PLAN YOUR WORK, WORK YOUR PLAN!  Jump right in no matter what part you want to conquer.  No matter the shape/object you start with, you may as well learn the nature of fiberglass and use it as well.  You can always remove it or refinish it a different way.  The KID had some areas that was rough.  He chose to add 1/4 inch upholstery foam and vinyl to certain areas, which saved alot of time till finish.

Just stick to this site and your knowledge will swell.  Keep us up on your progress.  Let us know what you tried, and ask more and more questions along the way.

thanks for all your encouragement/suggestions.
