Took a while to do this, and I actually sold it to @krack ,but it was def one of my favorite fab jobs on the truck. It was my first time using fiberglass and mdf together, so it was also a great learning experience. Enjoy the pics.
I lost some of them on my photobucket. So sorry for some of the crappy screenshots.

tip for next time, mix lighter so it doesnt kick on you so quick and clump up. also use the mat, not the sprayed on sheets, as its cleaner and requires less prep. and third, use alot more resin, that was very dry.

otherwise, nice work!

sprayed on sheet? I'm by no means a professional at this, but you would be hard fetched mixing the resign to not clump up with 100 degree temps outside, let alone inside the truck.

It didn't need to be strong, nor look perfect. So for 20 bucks and weekend off, not bad at all.

I'm no glass expert and haven't really done much with it at all but man I think you did a great job. Enough so that I'm giving it a go soon as I come up with a template of switches and gizmo's (maybe a front camera? I could install the little 4" monitor down there) Hmmm the ideas are running wild. Great Job!
