KISS keep it simple stupid -This is about as creative as I get

I can see a better shape in my head (with lots of compound smooth curves) but what I can build involves 1/4" accurate cuts, angles measured on a speed square and 2x4 construction. Sharp corners are a given with my form of construction. I try to minimize it but I can only do what I can do.

I am surprised that I decided to build it with foam and fiberglass, it is a new method for me. I was thinning of doing it with plywood or coloplast. that would have had a lot more squared off edges and might not have been water tight.

That being said, I think I will need to get out the bondo and smooth out some places. This will have to wait till I have it drivable and the temps are warmer. The fiberglass is taking twice as longer to cure as it should because it is cold where I am working (28-30F).
