best advice would be to head to the library.

basically, provided its an open shape, pva/wax the item, gelcoat, layup the glass and you have a mould.

as for layering the glass...just wet it out with resin and whack it down, then run it over with a roller. it will depend on what glass you use...csm, roving, different weights, no of layers etc.

i find the best place to go is a fibre glass shop! usually boat builders sell it in bulk.

but its not easy if its your first time. doing something like a body kit first up is a bit much. practice practice practice
