Re: Any links explaining how to work with fiberglass? If you're asking about mixing glass... pour some resign into a container and add a few drops of catalyst. Too much hardener and it sets right away... just like bondo. I prefer the fine mesh sheets of fiberglass mat vs. the courser stuff.
I remember seeing one about a guy who turned his trunk into a giant box <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> He layed aluminum foil down first. I used the carpet piece that fits into that hole on the driver's side as my template (removes from the car... convienent). I made the bottom and front out of particle board first, then attached the shell I made from the carpet piece. A few trial-and-error test fittings with some grinding and re-glassing... viola! Don't be afraid to grind down parts and try again.
