So I dug out the areas in the Styrofoam to create a base template for the gill look I'm seeking.
Then I covered it with fiberglass cloth
Then I pasted the first layer with fiberglass Bondo, then a second layer of liquid bondo
Waiting for it to cure so I can paste it the finish bondo.

Okay ladies and gentlemen this is all he wrote for today.
After running into some issues like the fiberglass being to flimsily to work with and thinking of the ease of sanding it later, I decided to to assemble each rib/gill individually on the hood. So I got my first piece secure and bondo and ready to sand and finish before assembling the other piece.
And I used the top cut out as a base to ensure firmness.
Once again, don't judge me yet as I don't know what the hell I'm doing.
