search the web. there are a lot of good websites for this. It depends on what kind of car and where the box is going. You would make it differently if it were going in your wheel well in an F-body vs. in the spare tire well in a small car.

Best bet for fiberglass is to pay someone to do it. Fiberglass is a art that is learned through practice, like hand porting heads. Knowing how to do something and being able to do it successfully are two completely differnt things. If you do a crappy job on the fiberglass it will have bubbles and waves in it and look like ****. But if you really want to attempt it on your own try Select Products are the serious installers buy their equipment from there and they have videos on how to do fiberglass and other custom stuff. But they arent has indepth as you may think they expect a basic understanding of doing fiberglass.
