you put foil down so the fiberglass does not stick to the cardboard its fiberglass

Looks real nice, a writeup would be cool?

My only suggestion is make it shorter and make the carpet match. Then it would look really awesome.

edit: also, does that have any sort of structural integrity at all? Would you be able to throw a bunch of **** on it without it collapsing?

any chance you could post like a little how-to....

First make a template out of cardboard and tape, then you take out the cardboard template and lay newspaper or packaging paper with tape to cover down your carpet about 10" away from your work area ( see picture). Next get two towels that will fit in the crack between your carpet and plastic panels, to protect plastic. then get foil paper and tape it around the whole area of the car where you will be working. next tape down foil on the template. place the fiberglass mat on the template and pour fiberglass mixture. layer it 3 times to thicken. this is a web site you can use how to learn work with fiberglass http://web.njit.edu/~cas1383/proj/main/

Where did you get the carpet?

Couldn't you locate any that had a better color match?

You should copy it & market them now, ...
Ya know what I'd like to see, instead of the front square corner, ..., something more rounded to match the Firebird lines.
Now that you've got a pattern, Duplicating it should be easy!

Why would you do this, (Remove the backseat.), if you have kids? Now you are limited to one passenger at the most.

I would have made it a little shorter, but you did a good job on it.

it's very nice and clean...

but in my opinion our cars look better WITH the back seats...even if we don't use them...i think seat deletes look dumb. plus to be honest...it doesn't save much weight, some but not really enough to notice, atleast i wouldn't think so...

but i applaud your craftsmanship, looks like it's put together very well and looks great!
