How did you enjoy your first go at fiberglass?

It's pretty rewarding. Where did you get your materials?

At Advanced Auto Parts, it was pretty cheap because I'm a student at Iowa Central in Fort Dodge and They give us a discount and don't charge tax

Yep I'll be there, Thanks for the comments everyone! For the shape I made a skeleton from wood and wrapped cloth around it, It looks rougher in the pic then it really is. The picture was taken with my VGA camera phone. Some pointers would be great I kinda just jumped into this project. O and the piece is going in the trunk, It won't stay long because next year air ride is going in so the rear seat delete and false floor will be fabricated.
