How I make fiberglass upholstery panels for strange shapes.

[brianrupnow]

O.K. Guys----I have asked about this 3 or 4 times, and not received a clear answer, so now you are going to get to see how I do it. The rear inside corners of my roadster pickup are a really strange shape, as they are running from a large radius and corner down to a small radius and corner. I have thought about this for some time, and although there are many ways to do this, I am going to record how I do it, with my digital camera. First of all, I have to have something in place to form the fiberglass cloth to. It doesn't have to be strong or durable, just strong enough to rough in my initial shape and support the fiberglass cloth and resin. This first picture shows the skeleton of the final shape, roughed in with peices of 1/4" x 3/4" wooden door trim, and some peices of the 1/8" luan mahogany left over from my door panels---all stuck in place with my glue gun. ---Stay tuned---there will be more pictures and explanation as I progress.
