That would actually be an awesome idea! Do you know how to work with fiberglass?
Nah, never messed with the stuff, but I watched somebody do it on an old wooden boat they were restoring. Looks like a pain in the ass.

You could just chalk it up to a good experience :D But you're right, it does look pretty hard to master and work with....

I've done a lot of fiberglass work, surfed for twenty years so repairs were necessary. Also worked in a shop that made custom bodies and fairings for motorcycles. It's not difficult to do but can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. The fumes are toxic, plus the sanding dust makes you itch like mad and never comes out of nylon clothing so you end up tossing any clothes it gets into. If you mix a hot batch of resin it can create enough heat to burst into flame so it's best to watch the parts set up.

When I was learning how to laminate I asked the guy teaching me if there was some sort of laminators union. He said "Nah, nobody in this business lives long enough to start one."

Before and after pics of the bike I did while working there.
