Any help will be greatly appreciated
Make the base mold of a few layers of fiberglass. Then using dowels, glue the mount rings to the dowels. Stretch fleece AS TIGHTLY AS POSSIBLE over top of the entire are, this is what "makes the curves". The resin the fleece, two layers of resin only on the outside. When it hardens, cut-out the holes from where the fleece cover the mounting ring. THEN, put a few layers of fiberglass on the inside...this gives strength and reinforcement. Then sand the outside, bondo it, sand, sand, sand, sand, skim coat with diluted bondo, primer, wet-sand, paint
