I don't blame you for quiting fiberglass work. I REALLY don't like working with polyester resins with all the solvent vapors around my face all day, and the glass dust created from all the grinding is aweful. I just built a better ventilation system which will help some, and I'm thinking of building a vacuum table as well. If paper mache was a proven building material I would switch to it in a heartbeat .

Your interiors are just gorgeous. I'd dare to say, better than the real thing.



Perhaps you'll be interested in my next Fi360 interior. My interiors were intended for Fiero based replicas, but luckily the 308/355/360 type bodies don't require any changes to the Fiero interior cabin, unlike Lambo replicas which do involve considerable interior mods. Thanks.

Okay, here's one in grey gelcoat just out of the mould & trimmed for a test fit. It's a good fit. But, It's really tough working when it's 33' F. outdoors. It snowed over the weekend. Love my kerosene heater.

Ooo, oo! Me, me. Pick me! Maybe I'll have better luck with this than I do with electronics.

Thanks Bob. Designwork on this project is now complete. I didn't plan for it to take this long, but it's done now & I'm switching mental gears back to interior work including your F40. I think I understand now why John at AD doesn't do 360 bumpers; it's ALOT of work.

Unless you drop a engine block on it I think you're safe. But, I do recommend getting a helper when installing especially if you do a panel-off paint job.
