So how much heavier you think the "body" will weigh after you get done giving it a shot of fiberglass steroids ? Figure you are adding about another 20-30 lbs. of weight to it?

Either way , dude should be more than happy with the end result. Are all of your old buddies familiar with you talents or did you just offer up your time without showing off your skills?

These are the 2 steel plates for the front mounting points....these will keep the fiberglass body from tearing..

Posted Image

Right front side.....ground down and cleaned up....Ready for Layup...the red outline is where the steel plate will go..you can see the body is already torn there...from stress..

Posted Image

Left side......still alot of grinding and cleanup to do,,,befoe any layup

Posted Image

All layed up.....the steel plate is in there...
