Well, I bought all my fiberglassing stuff, but the vehicle is gone for a month or so, and I'm very bored, and want to practise making something... does anyone have any suggestions on what I can make?? lol I need to get some practise before it comes back

make a switch panel for w/e like some lights or something. Take some wood, cut out like something for the frame, 4 sides would work well. Get an old tee shirt in le-way of fleece, practice streeching the crap out of stuff and resining. Then sand, lay down some glass sand some more, bondo it up, sand, bondo, sand bondo, sand, etc till its smooth to practice that. Then get some primer and some paint and practice spray painting. Anyway, thats my suggestion cuz it covers all the major issues of fiberglassing.

Make a stand alone enclosure. Use MDF as the base and then build your frame on that. Build it for a pair of 10's or 12's and if it turns out decent you can sell it and at least get your investment back, if not make a few dollars.

Yea I think a stand alone enclosure would be ideal to practice on.  I heard it's better to use wood as a base whenever possible to make the enclosure more rigid.  Good luck!

Im a fiberglass whore!!

I'm gunna have to go with a giant fiberglass statue in the spitting image of Jesus, or Mary, either one will work. So then when you build the enclousures for ur car you can place them nearby for comfort cause of all the frustration ur prob gunna have (dependant on the complexity). Good luck either way.
