do it yourself Fiberglass

[jEzTeR]

I searched all the threads but couldn't find the one that I was looking for.A while back there was a thread on making carbon fiber/fiberglass pieces that had some really awesome links in it.If anyone knows where to find good information on making fiberglass parts let me know.I also spent some time searching through Google but still had no luck.

I have a friend who is making a fiberglass front bumper for his car.He has the mold finished and is getting ready to start in on the fiberglass.I told him I could get some info for him thinking that I would dig up that thread and get the links but now I can't find it.LOL

Thanks if you can help me out.

The MR2 owners club board has a whole forum for this. They have some gurus too. the only problem is that you have to register (which isn't even that big of a deal...
