Heres a start:

Resin
Mat and/or cloth
2" Paint brushes
2" masking tape
Aluminum foil
Mixing cups
Respirator
Rubber gloves
Sand paper
Auto Body filler
Roto zip / Dremel / router
At least a small amount of inteligence
Time
Patients

All but the last three can be had at any supply house (i.e. Home Depot, Lowes...)

Also there is topic with a list of good websites.

plus the fleece for stretching over the box, as well as a glue gun or stapler to hold the fleece in place.
