Every time I check this thread I am amazed. Incredible work.

Thanks guys!!!!

Sprayed some red paint just to help with seeing air bubbles while laminating. Not using any gel coat here -- it's just a splash mold, so not really necessary in my opinion.

Finished up the trunk panels, all of the flanges, mounts and the floor. Have a bud with a CNC router - will cut out for fuel pump access panel and will lighten up the MDF floor panel.
