Fiberglass Interior, Anybody Do It? Options

[sapperk]

Has anybody done custom fiberglassing interior? I am starting the project, and any ideas, suggestions would help. Im starting with the headliner and almost done.

I 'glassed a gauge and my power window switches into the area where my cigar ligher and power mirror controls used to be. I can probably find pics if you want to see how it looks.

I'm in the process now, just figuring out how i can either glass over my door panels, or body fill them ... problem is making it stick.

vinny, what you do is remove the panel

then glass from behind like use the stock as a mold

then pull it apart
glass on the outside of the 1st glassing you did
and you make a new panel

[Dm_Vinny]

I really dont wanna make a new panel tho...

Can you guys show pic?

This is the head liner i am in process of doing. When i finish practicing on this, i will begin the rest of the interior, starting with the center console.

Would fiberglass bond to plastic as well? I want to make a holder to go under the radio to hold 3 gauges and was wondering what would be the best material to try to make it out of.

when you get it all installed.. tell us if it affects the road noise and if the interior get more hot.

im doing my dashboard right now.. two tvs and a ps2 molded in.. its coming out good ill post up all the pics when i finish it

[DmVinny]

DJFate u moulding the dashboard or just going over the vinyl with fiberglass?

[XxDJFate76xX]

took the vynil off.. and under it theres foam.. fiberglassed the foam and fiberglass a mold to hold the tvs and ps2.. then i tried wrapping it in carbon fiber but the material i bought was **** so im just gonna wrap it in suede

[bloodrain]

i say go ahead and do the whole interior fiberglass, oh wait, this isnt the forum for people trying to kill themselves in car accidents. hehe

[dustin15brown]

Pretty simple.... Just don't wreck

[DmVinny]

Fate, the foam didnt melt? usually the foam disengrates because of the heat generated by the fiberglass.

[XxDJFate76xX]

nope suprisingly it didnt, i tried it in a small area first and it was str8.. plus the dash is not fully fiberglass so in a wreck i wouldnt have too much of a problem.. plus i got a 4 point harness.. im not going anywhere hehehe

[DmVinny]

WHat do u mean not fully fiberglassed?

Btw, did you strip the vinyl, than wrap it with fleece and just resin?
