Here's the first layer of fiber-glass.
Not as bad as I was expecting, kinda easy actually! I had to pre cut each piece of course and then brush the resin on with a regular paint brush with the brush bristles trimmed down to a inch. Oh....Make sure you are working in a warm and well ventilated area, or you will get a nice burning sensation in your eyes. he he he

Ummmm the smell of fiber-glass. If you are crazy enough to attempt this make sure you pick up some BONDO_GLASS. Its a filler that's easy to sand, Also if you don't have a dremel get one. Here are more pictures, these are after I put on a coat of Bondo glass and sanded.
