Stupid me lost a PM I had from a member on here talking about how to work with fiberglass to make molds. If you are still out there, or if there are other gurus looking at this....chime in. Thanks

I'm interested in the same stuff. Here is a nice write-up I found online. If you have any good links post em up.

USMC..you sent me a great write up or a PM telling me basically how to make a mold and whatever I wanted......I want to mess around with it over the winter....what do you still have??
I remember aluminum foil being involved if that helps any.

i wrote that up myself and you lost it! I wrote it just for you! anyway...the web can help a lot. read some writeups and if you have any questions hit me up.

My next little project is making a race tail from a spare stocker i got for $20. Gonna glass a cowl directly onto it and glass over the taillight hole.

anyone know how race tails attach other than those front 2 bolts?

How well will fiberglass stand up to the heat of the exhaust? I was going to epoxy a junked tail light lens on mine but if glass will stand up i'd rather do that.

most fiberglass bodywork i have seen in close proximity to exhaust is heat shielded. It may break down the resin over time.
