kitti82 and xdmray, i will for sure. If there is interest i will show you what i do. I was going to use fiberglass because of the size of this mother, but i dont want to run into issues with the latex curing improperly, so im going all in ultracal 30. I am working on the front today cuz its snowing like crazy, i will try to have some more final pictures very soon. Thanks for your comments everyone!
