I've got an extra front, lower valance (apron) for a 521 Pick-up. I was wondering if any members had a working knowledge of making fiberglass molds. During this winter, I'd like to try to make a lay-up mold for those panels, since finding straight, undamaged ones, seems nearly impossible. Any help in finding a solution would be appreciated.

    Here in the Pacific Northwest, I get fiberglass supplies from Tap Plastics (tapplastics.com)  You can also order fiberglass supplies from Minicraft, they are in Florida. (minicraft.com)
    This time of year, there is a possibility that boat repair shops might be a little slow, and be willing to take on a project.
