the perfectionist in me is still unsatisfied on how my upper grill block came out....its too bulky, heavy and "wrinkly."



I'm getting better at fiberglassing now and learned that the better i prep in the beginning, the better the result.

For version 3.??? i lined the outer edges of the upper grill opening with double sided tape and tightly wrapped a tshirt around the whole thing. This way i should hopefully have clean edges, no sagging, no need for expanding foam, and minimal sanding. I'm also putting on more layers of resin for strength so that it should not crack when i remove the grill block from the grill.
