Cant really tell how its gonna go together by those pictures, maybe I just didnt look hard enough.  One suggestion though, it looks like you need some more bondo and sanding if you want it to be flat and even, its looks like its a bit wavy from what I could see and when its painted, you are really gonna know it.  Not too shabby at all for your first box though man!

Looks like a good start but its hard to tell what you have going there by those pictures. It looks like its mostly flat surfaces, how much of that is fiberglass? From the pictures it looks like it could have been made almost completely out of MDF. But, none the less it looks like you did a good job for your first attempt.

most of it is mdf, the sides are fiberglass, and then i rapped the whole thing in fleece when it was finished, to make all the curves come to gether, resined that, and then bondo'd the rest of it
