aquill1 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Looks good! (i have no background on anything like fiberglass but imo it looks good) Ever think about making everything mesh in with the rear plastic so it kind of is one piece? I want to make a box for my car! I need to watch someone do it first.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure post up lottsa pic and ask questions on this here forum as you will always have some folks here tryin to drop some tech support for ya. ~Chris.
