Any fiberglass box tips?

I will be attempting my second attempt at a fiberglass box. The first went horribly wrong; needless to say I didn’t do any research before hand. The second attempt will be in place of the spare tire of a 1986 Ford Mustang. If you have any tips in order for me to do this they would be greatly appreciated. Also any pictures could be of help.

I second that. But to help you get started, I'll pop some tips for you here; save you some time ^-^

throughout the area that you are going to mold the bottom of the enclosure, lay some masking tape down and go out at least 3" extra from where you plan to stop the box. I recommend using 3m's 355 (not 100% sure on the number) 2" wide green masking tape. It is becomming easy to find now and days (Most Wal-marts have them now) This stuff is made specifically for this work. If you cannot find that, us can use aluminum foil; just make sure it is the Heavy Duty stuff. the standard stuf is too thin for it. shiny side towards the box. tape it with blue painter's tape (best to find the stuff that is rated for 14 days or more).

build a basic frame out of 1x2" lumber (or balsa if you are concerned about weight) that surrounds the spare tire area. Lay down your fiberglass mat and include the frame into the mat as you apply resin. Let this cure. Now you have the bottom half of your sub box. the wooden frame will act as your base for the top half of your enclosure and make it easier to mount and dismount it.

I hope this helps. Ganbatte ne (Good luck -or- Do your best)
