Thanks Tracy. I actually have another question for you after doing some reading up on fiberglass. I originally planned to use sheet metal to wrap the entire console. On another forum, someone suggested wrapping the entire thing in fiberglass (similar to a subwoofer enclosure) and then wrapping it in leather. That got me thinking as I could do some smoother and custom curves that would be easier than with sheetmetal. After reading about bonding fiberglass to metal, this might be an issue. Have you done much with fiberglassing over a metal skeleton? If I was to do it in fiberglass, I would do the entire console all at once so it would be one piece. I was thinking that I could then weld in a few pieces of sheetmetal and possibly rivet the fiberglass to the sheetmetal in an attempt to hold it in place better. I'd then wrap the fiberglass with leather so you won't see any of the rivets anyways. Any suggestions on this? Or am I better off just using sheet metal like I originally planned. Thanks in advance.
