    I squeezed a little more air space after working around the seat belt retractors.

    A mixture of resin and filler was poured over the fiberglass then sound deadened.

    Craft felt attached and resined.

    Layered up with 10 layers of mat. Almost killed the 4th gallon of resin on this build.

    I needed 2.39cu ft of internal airspace, I ended up with 2.55cu ft.

    Love the build, although I'm not over keen on the holes left in the front of the car. I think that it should be smoothed out like the back if the bumpers are not going back on. I look forward to the end product
