Here is some progress.. I went cut up one of my wifes fleece Taz sweatshirt, I hope she didnt need it.. And then I layed fiberglass resin all over it.. I had to use my heatgun to get it to dry since it is freezin out side.. Now I will start cutting out the wheelwells and trim it so I can start fitting it to the body...

Here it is with the fender semi grafted into the body.. Dont mind the tape..
I will start smoothing all the body work as soon as I feel it fits like I want it...
No turning back not..Oh well
