#65659, "fiberglassing hatch cover"




          

after all the posts about carbon fiber headliners and fiberglassed this and that i'm going to try to fiberglass the hatch cover. i've never done fiberglassing before but it seems fairly simple and the cover seem fairly simple to start with. but i was just wondering if i took pics of the whole process and did a pretty good job if you guys would want a write-up?

Interesting....i don't think i have enough talent to trust making something fiberglass that would seat a peice of glass that large but if you pull it off then I would def want a writeup

"We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war; our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very , very pissed off"

If you are able to try and make it a replacement. When I was making the fiberglass plug for the molds that damn hatch cover was heavy after all the resin, glass and bondo. I am glad I did not use that. I mean basically after you glass the deck lids and paint it etc...you will have actually created a plug that you can now make a perfect mold off of. Think about it! emoji
