You got some talent man, good work. So if done correctly it wouldnt ever crack or anything, the fiberglass resin sticks to the metal good, etc......

Sorry for the stupid questions, but Im more of a car audio guy and havent dealt with bodywork much. Keep us posted when its done though, looking sweet.

this is what you need:
1 sheet metal
2 fiberglass and the fiberglass cloth shit
3 sandpaper (like 80 grit)
4 bondo (about 120 grit sandpaper)
5 take your time to get it perfect

after that you would need the door popers and a way to get in the car
