Thanks guys - appreciate the kind words.
Beginning the door panels with a fiberglass base. Started with 1/4" plywood screwed down tight so it replicates the shape of the door as it curves in both directions. This will be a make-shift mold, will get removed and discarded. Painted blue as dark colors help with seeing air bubbles while laying up the 'glass.
Masked off, 3 coats of release wax and 2 coats of PVA mold release.
2 layers of 1.5oz mat over the entire panel with an additional 3" wide strip of 1.5 oz. around the edges for some extra rigidity. Vinylester resin.
Lots more to come.
