Haha I'm learning by doing myself. I mean I worked in a machine shop so I know how to work metal for framing, I worked in a body shop so I have a little body work knowledge and I fiberglass RC airplanes so if i combine the three....I might be able to pull it off or I might end up with a pile of crap. lol

I plan on building the basic shape out of Blue core foam, then fiber-glassing over that in a thin layer. from there I'll remove the glass skin and build up the inside of the skins, laying in the aluminum square tubed framing and a aluminum mounting pad to mount where the third brake light is. glass the two haves together, contour and shape to desired final piece.
