Making small fiber glass trim panel to seal off each side for a trunk car.

[SlamminBeats]

see where the carpet is on the left? i want to make a fiber glass removable panel that bonds the carpet to the box so my trunk is sealed? how do i do that?

im so lost as to what i do first, what gives my panel the shape i want?

For something that small, I would cut posterboard to fit how you want. Take your time and trim a little at a time. Once you have your shape, transfer to mdf and cut. As for making the final shape out of fiberglass, no idea.

What about the method Ray used on the Monte Carlo build where he used a specific type of cardboard that he formed and then fiberglassed directly on onto it. This way you can make your shape and then just fiberglass it.

Yeah, its called chip board. Forgot about that.

you guys see the spot though? you can even stick your finger between the box and carpet, and the biggest gap is on the top where the top trim panel stops.

i dont see the point of using more wood when the spot is so tiny, i need it sealed off.

not sure i know what you mean.

so what materials do i need for those small panels?

like how much resin, mat, etc!!

i think i have an idea of how to do it.

I know you want to fiberglass it, but why not foam it?

[SlamminBeats]

because foam looks really ugly? and my car is too nice for foam.
