enjoy

When it comes to fiber glassing its all in how you mix the hardener with the resin. In some applications you really don't even need to use the cloth at all. I have done allot of cracked plastic bumpers with just resin. Fill the crack, dry, then sand smooth. Fiber glassing is one of my favorite things to do.
Btw, grille looks awesome. Im thinking about doing a billet grille mod on the early style grilles.89L build thread http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=36422

i agree with 91_festy_gl, it gets real easy after a couple times of doing it, the only hard part of the whole fiberglassing was trying to figure out how to get the contours of the center, after that was figured it was a breeze

**** it! I wanted to do this SO bad, and now I won't be the first. I photoshopped it a few weeks back and saw how epic it would look. D:

Nice mod! I dont like the 90-93 grills usually, but I like what you did with that.
I wonder what it would look like with the "oval" emblem hole fiberglassed and smoothed in? Hmmm....IMO that would look really tough.Dan
