Pages 9 and 10 appear to be MIA.

It's all there, step by step by step. Foam egg crate formers with foam skin and overlaid fiberglass - sounds familiar! Good fiberglass techniques on display here, too.

Combine that with an E bike kit And some bigger batteries (or more) and you could have yourself a serious personal electric vehicular...
