ever think of using two hinges on the top? It may make it a bit more durable as your spreading the load out more. Not to mention positioning the hinges toards the corner, where the mounting points are better reinforced because of the roundness...

I agree. If that hinge is already in there, I would definitely consider putting a hinge on each side of it, to eliminate wobble.

Hey ALJR,
I've worked with Foamcore for years and that's very good question. I have no idea. My first thought would be yes, I don't see why it wouldn't work. But then my second thought would be - maybe not. If the the foam breaks down from the heat will it harden while in it's new shape. Again, I really dont know.

Hi All,
I'm BACK! It's been a rough couple of weeks but I'm slowly getting my life back in order and what better way than to jump back on the Fiero and occupy my thoughts with this project! There's been one drawback. It has been really FRIGGIN cold and I'm debating whether or not to move the "fiberglassing" inside the house. I have a HUGE room above the attached garage but there is little ventilation. Can anybody tell me if this is a good idea? I will NOT be sanding or doing anything like that - just the pouring and laying of the glass.
Also, I just received a new dash and complete center console. I'll post pics this evening!
Just want to thank everybody for the kind words and support!

I thought you knew about the smell that goes with fiberglassing? The house will smell like that for a while.
Use the room abouve the garage, open the vents after you are done with a fan to push out the fumes. 
Do you have a little heater? garage doors insulated?
I have both and it stays around 65* in there @ 30* outside. just get ya another pair of long johns on and tough it out!! you have been away for so long that Pat is making his whole car parts out of fiberglass!!!! EVERYTHING (it seems lol)
S, look up the thread about 3000gt dashes(sourmug's) he was using the 2 part foam to help make the buldges in the door panel. I think you can do some good with it as well . here : http://www.fiero.nl/forum/F.../HTML/071501-13.html

Wouldn't that be a good thing? You would be making the shape for a reason; wouldn't you want the part to hold its shape?! Either way, just offering another possible solution...
I am kinda like the company BASF; "We do not make allot of the products you buy, we just make them better" ... I am not very good at inital problem solving. But once I see something, I am always trying to improve it... Kinda like this thread of yours. I would never have though I could do what your doing, until I see how its done and how your doing it  [This message has been edited by ALJR (edited 01-11-2010).]
