We got a nor-easter sun/mon, so I made sure to park the car pointed into the wind. The snow piled up very nicely. It also started to melt before I could snap a good photo today.

OH WELL. It is 90+% intact. I like the hood riser and the perfect slope on the back. I am looking for ideas on how to go about making one out of fiberglass. Should I make an inner mold out of foam and then use it to form the FG? Does anyone have an easier way to do it? The reason I want to use fiberglass is because it is self-supporting. I do want to see out under the back.
