I wanna try making a custom component enclosure in the rear and it looks like this would be a perfect time to learn to use fiberglass, only thing is I don't know where to get the materials I need. What do I do?
Fiberglass: where?

I get my stuff from Wal-mart. Go to the automotive section where they sell spray paint and bondo and stuff for the car. The fiberglass resin comes in like a rectangular tin container. The hardener should come with it so don't buy it separately if you don't have to. I think Wal-mart sells it in two different size containers. You should also be able to find fiberglass mesh in the same area. Another place to get stuff is at Lowe's. Don't forget to buy a bag of disposable latex gloves and disposable brushes.
Hope this helps. Ask if you have anymore questions.
Peace..

i'm in the process of making a custom rack in the left plastic side pocket in the trunk, so far its going good, fibre will harden really really hard
Select Products, at www.selectproducts.com makes some trick fibreglass materials. Some of it is spendy but is much easier to work with and your finished product is much nicer.
