Where in the springs can you get all the materials needed to build fiberglass bodywork?

I built my undertail with stuff purchased at HD, but Lowes also carries the supplies.

There is really no good place here in the springs. I would make the quick trip to Denver off Santa Fe to a place called Platicare. They have everything you need.

+1 Materials are available cheaply at any auto parts or home improvement supply store.

One big issue with making good molds for fiberglass body pieces is calculating the shrinkage factor.
There's lots of info on peoples DIY projects on the web.

Is this project going to take the same amount of time it took you to do your forks? :crazy: Why not do it in carbon Fiber?

probly if not longer, and cost would be way to much for carbon fiber.
