Switch hands? I'm not that talented! I'd probably wind up falling down, rendering myself unconscience in some kind of compromising position... wait... what are we talking about?

To answer your question, you can fiberglass almost anything together. Unless I'm mistaken (smebody please correct me if I'm wrong), you pour a little resin on the area you want the piece to lay and let it dry. This is only temporary as you would then lay additional glass on top of the same piece (whether metal, plastic, wood, etc) helping it become more durable . The resin hardens and keeps anything / everything in place. With that said, depending on which hinge I use I'm going to glass the original hinge bolting areas (after cutting them out) to both pieces. Hopefully this add strength but also look good - hopefully. I'll be sure to get detailed images when I get to that point.

Here are some updates. I had to go back and fill some holes in the console. I want it to be absolutely perfect. I'm still unsure whether I am going to cover with material or paint it either with the Lunitec Paint System or the same color as the interior plus the white lid - either way the lid will be high gloss white. I also reinforced the "glove box" fiberglass piece with more glass.

Going over with more body filler


After the resin cured I sanded the top side of the "glovebox" and then covered it with body filler


More filler was added to help with the sanding process. When adding filler, be generous and let it dry for several hours. Again, I used 40 grit paper to take down the high points and the 80 grit to smooth out to a nice a smooth finish. Once I go final, I'll probably use a 150 or 250 grit


I went ahead and gave it a quick primer coat


The frustrating part about filling and sanding is that you always find areas you missed


Another area to redo

quote I am till having a little trouble understanding what the "plug" is for. I guess I'll have to wait to see how the puzzle comes together.

If you're confused... just imagine how i feel. Let me see if I can explain this - believe it or not, this helps me too... Imagine the lid has already been cut but is now attached and functional. If the lid was opened, there would be nothing there but a view of the cars computer and firewall. I could leave it like that but I would like to have a working "glove box" when the lid is opened. So, I am going to use the piece (glove box plug) I just made and temporarily place it back into where it was originally formed - behind the top of the console. Work with me because this gets confusing... Now, if you lift the lid, there would be a solid piece of fiberglass (glove box plug), where the hole used to be, that matches the same contours of the lid. However, this piece is counter sunk so the lid can still open and close. Make sense? With the "glove box" plug now in place I can sketch out how I want the inside of the glovebox to look. There will be lots more cutting and fabricating to do. But I do have an idea that might save me from doing a lot of work. More on that later. I hope this helps... If not, I owe ya a drink.

I also have to measure the depth of the box as to not interfere with the cars computer. I'm debating whether or not in making an access panel that can be removed if I ever needed to get to the computer.

Thats it for now. I'm getting really excited! I'm hoping the cup holder will be here tomorrow. I really want to begin fabricating the armrest.
