I am compleatly new to useing fiberglass and have read allot of articles but still a little un sure about some stuff I have a 94 Chevy S-10 extended cab and i wanted to fiberclass the plastic ectended cab pannels and also with it cover up the "jump seats" in them so u can never telol they were there. so i was wondering if i could just glue fleece over the pannels and fiberglass it or is there a longer process that if correct

Are you talking about interior door panels???? if so you should just be able to stretch fleece over them, apply resin, sand, then add body filler to make them smooth...that is if there isn't any pressure (i.e a subwoofer). If you were planning on making a fiberglass box into it I would suggest fiberglassing it. HOWEVER..........I STRONGLY recommend that you either get a little more practice with fiberglass and fleece or find some matching panels at a junk yard or something. Trust me, I messed up my first time doing a door panel project and it took me like four months to find a replacement. Just a little suggestion from someone who already f-up'd once or twice. posted_image

anyway, good luck.

Yes, they are kinda like door pannels but in my S-10 they are not doors in the extended cab but thanks for the tips.
