I have a project on the horizon (I'd say I'm 18+ months out) that will require using another car as a plug and building quality molds with which to produce at least two sets of panels. As I am currently between jobs (and have been restoring several cars in the interim) I am interested in spending as much time as possible learning the process of building 'glass panels from start to finish . . . if it can so be arranged . . . but will take what I can get.

I used to work for the fishing boat manufacturer Astro/Procraft near Murfreesboro, TN so I have a good grasp of what this all entails but would like to learn the why behind the how.

Anyone in the area able to arrange an in-depth, multi-day walking tour? Would even consider temporarily working in the industry to learn the trade.

Get back into the garage. BTW, you can't build those panels, your wife will kill you when all that dust gets into the house.

This is for an off-the-books project. Just for mentioning it here I should have myself killed.

Come to CA. You can do all my fiberglass projects that I don't have time for and you'll learn a ton! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif)
